Nice spot to grab a quick bite or take out. I enjoyed the lunch special with chicken, potato salad, and rice and beans. The woman who took my order over the phone was kind and friendly then and when I picked it up. I’ll be back!

Hey my star trackers. If you follow me you know I love Spanish food. This place was ok. Staff was not friendly enough at all. I expected much more taste and my food was cold, chicken was a Lil cold for my taste. Not the best place I’ve been not the worst. Just okay. Would I come again . No thank you. However I still wish them much success

No menu and food is not labeled. I was made to feel unwelcome. I didn’t speak Spanish so it was like pulling teeth asking them what each dish was. It was the hardest experience just trying to patronize the establishment. Also you cannot use a card only cash. Unpleasant experience.
