The service here is beyond amazing. The entire staff goes out of their way to make your experience there great. The food is very flavorful and taste delicious. Most of their food items are already pre-made so all you have to do is pick from the trays. The atmosphere is great and their restaurant is spotless. Very clean and organized. I've been here twice and both times I was super satisfied. I would definitely recommend this place to my friend's and family. Even the music was on point!! God check them out. You will not be disappointed!!!

The restaurant had really fresh, flavorful food! The dining space was also warm and everything was extremely clean. Everyone was friendly and helpful as well. The interior decorations were well done and they had peaceful videos of people cooking on a few undistracting televisions. Thanks!!

Generous portions, attentive staff. We visited on a Tuesday lunch so there weren't many other customers. Most people visiting at that time were coming for the to-go buffet The shrimp were cooked well and were tender. Mofongo had a lot of pork with it Restaurant was quiet and we could hear the birds in the birdcage even though we weren't near them There was no ceviche available when we visited and ceviche was not included on the menu. We requested water to drink but got water bottles which cost $2 a piece. Not clear whether this was a misunderstanding or they don't serve tap water.

They keep extremely stressed birds in a small cage in the dining area. Ordered a crab empanada and they brought me a shrimp empanada instead without asking. I am allergic to shrimp. I was then informed the kitchen is closed.

This place always has me leaving with a smile . They speak both english and spanish which is amazing because not all spanish places do and there prices are perfect for the amount of deliciousness you receive. I go here atleast 3 times a week and iam NEVER disappointed. I highly recommend everyone who loves authentic spanish flavors to come in and give it a try!
