A very nice lunch! Had the veggie quesadilla with side salad and I was very pleased with the quality of both. I also had sides of refried beans and rice – a bargain at only $1.59 each. The service was fast and friendly and the waitress took the time to make sure she had the order right. Happy hour beers and margaritas from 3pm to 5pm was a bonus. A very clean and spacious dining area with plenty of tables and seating. Nice outdoor seating too. The restrooms which are part of the hotel lobby were extremely clean. The restaurant is located right on the ground floor and to the left of the main hotel doors, so it’s easy to find. I parked in the hotel lot right in front and found a space easily, although I must admit it was not high-season.

This is absolutely best place in town to eat quality food. It is reasonably priced. Staff is great. Employees are very friendly and hard working. Most of staff appear to be in school and learning great in service industry. Chips and salsa are great way to start your food. Highly recommend. We are vegetarian however they made all changes to serve us. Great

Good restaurant in general. Food is greasy. If you are not used to it, it can cause you to be sick to your stomach. Nice place. Friendly staff but lack of prompt service, they are a bit slow when you order something. They require tips of 18% minimum. Varied lunches: Omellets, Eggs to taste, fruit, pancakes, waffles, refried beans. Lunch and dinner. Similar case, varied food but all greasy. People coughing possibly sick of “something” and don’t wear a mask. Nobody says anything to them either, there were people coughing in the restaurant and nothing happened. Nobody told them anything.

My first experience with this restaurant was okay-ish. Dinner: the food has a light touch of Mexican cousin and it was disappointing. Breakfast was good in terms that I was able to customize it. I got eggs and avocado. The avocado on the side cost $1.29, and it was three small slices, at least they could give a proper 1/4 of avocado anyway, breakfast was good, and the second one was breakfast taco good, but too much cheese. Again, it can be customized. It is hard to find a nice breakfast place on the island, so this one was a good experience. The service is awesome!

This place is always good food and good service. Maybe it’s because we ALWAYS ask for Cindy! She is awesome and never leaves you in need of anything that she hasn’t at least asked if you wanted it!

Cindy served us and was cheerful and prompt with our order. I ordered the protein bowl with mushrooms, and it was delicious. She checked on us frequently and made sure we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was fine-the only problem (that Cindy had no control of) was the music. We heard the same song throughout our meal on repeat, and later on when we went to the hotel gym to work off our meal, the same song was playing!

It took a bit for a food because it was pretty busy, but other then that it was a very nice experience! Everything was such a vibe; our food, and drinks were great too! On top of that our bartender, Liz, was super friendly and great to talk to! Will come again

We sat at the bar and our bartender was Gerardo. The service was awful. About an hour to close on a Sat night, he made it very clear he didn’t want us there. Flipped all chairs, turned off almost all TVs, didn’t check on us once needed to continuously flag down. Every ask like drinks or salsa was a burden. On most items we had to ask 2-3 times while he was texting or talking to another guy who was already clocked our. He got one of the orders wrong – rang in a more expensive item. By the time the correct item came out the other person was already done. He didn’t even bother correcting the check, we had to request it be updated to reflect the correct price. Another guy asked for something and he told him the bar was closed, then when he said it was only a beer he was happy to serve him. Don’t come eat at this bar! It was a painful experience. Fast food would have been better service.
