Came here for happy hour with my wife. Had lovely service, great wine, and a surprisingly refreshing spicy pineapple margarita. Excited to have this place around for a long time!

Had a blast here! Stopped by for some Sunday football and they had every game on. Delicious drinks. Fresh beer on tap and fantastic service! Bartender Lola was amazing

Neighborhood bar with plenty of tables for seating. Bar was well stocked and they had a large selection of wines. Food was pretty good in general, we tried the dry rubbed wings (great), sweet mustard wings (average), coconut prawns (fantastic), cubano sandwich (decent), strawberry margarita (great). Food was a bit heavy, but that was to be expected. Pictured is the cubano sandwich

The bartenders are very nice and provide good conversation. Food was full of flavor and filling. I’ve had a number of items on the menu and everything has been excellent. Will be back for sure.

Great drings…worst food ever…Black tamal tastes like caca smells…chicken wings over powdered…Black burnt coconut shrimp…and shrimp wouldn’t break down when chewed. Caritas meat was old and greasy…Bill was 165 and left 40 tip but servers shouldn’t even bring food that horrible to the table. On Cinco de Mayo!!! Shame on all of you.. my daughter was a server for years.. wouldn’t let me say anything. $200…for food that they could see we were throwing away…but didn’t care.

Fried chicken & Cubano dip sandwiches were tasty. Wings were pretty terrible. Decent beers on tap. Very dive bar atmosphere.

The food was quite disappointing overall. My wife and I came through on a Thursday night and ordered a few things to share.

I’m sorry to say we had a lousy experience here after looking forward to coming for a couple weeks. We came for pinball and came early for happy hour. Waited 10 minutes for the bartender to take our order. We asked what beers were on happy hour (the menu said to ask) and the bartender told us that none were, then thought about it some more and said the tangerine beer was on happy hour because it was their least popular beer. I saw her completely ignore another customer, who promptly left. We planned to eat dinner here, but the space smelled terrible, like rotten food, so we ate elsewhere. Won’t be back.

Dropped in to grab a quick bite and drink but the food was horrible and the bartender was more worried about drinking and taking shots then he was serving people. Definitely wont be back to this place

Update 12/16: still amazing! Ordered the ribs for the first time and they were honestly the best I have had in a very long time!! The sauce was unique…kind of a cross between KC style and a mole, sweet with a definite kick.
