Nice quaint restaurant. The servers were super friendly and tending. I LOVED the guava drink. We enjoyed the pork chop dish,and just LOVED the Plato Illegal, which serves a variety of meats..delicious. The presentation was awesome, as it comes out on a generous sized platter and still sizzles upon serving.

We came to this restaurant on a weekday with a large party (5+) for an early dinner after a graduation ceremony. We loved the ambiance, the drinks were well-made and strong, the food was very good (well seasoned/prepared, decent portions): we had skirt steak, salmon, grilled octopus, chicken, and shrimp. The guacamole they bring to the table is extremely good (although maybe a tad pricey for guac). The service was fairly attentive in the beginning, and then sort of dropped off after the entrees. Even the desserts were good!

This is a place you head to if you’re ready for a party! I’m not sure how the crowd is during the week, but this past Saturday night, pre July 4th holiday weekend, the place was hopping! We got there just in time before it filled up too much! The service was very good. Our waiter Oscar was attentive and friendly. The girl that made our guacamole was also very sweet even tho she didn’t speak English. I know a bit of Spanish so we communicated just fine. There was a DJ that was very good. He played some very good Latin music and everyone was rocking! Lol. The food was very good and the Red Sangria was pretty good also! Was practically impossible to have a conversation but it was a good time none the less.

My friends and I went here and it was an okay experience. The food was decent but the restaurant is WAY TOO LOUD. You can barely order your food without screaming at the waiter. If you want to talk to the people you’re with you have to yell at each other. It was a Saturday night so it was busy and getting our waiter’s attention was difficult. My friend says it’s better and less crowded on the weekday. Maybe I’ll give it a whirl on a quieter weekday.

The food was delicious. Even though the place was crowded, the employee who was celebrating the guests’ birthdays was hitting on the drums nonstop right next to people eating. I understand the ambiance, but there should be a coordination or a plan in place that informs them to head to the table for celebration instead of beating on that drum nonstop. Aside from that, it’s a great place to hang out with friends on a Saturday night.

A Cuban Restaurant, Bar and Club. Their food is excellent and has a wide range. Wine selection is limited but they have a full bar. The place has a dance floor, with live band and performances. The music was to loud and the dance floor is projected on TV screens in the restaurant area. Their service is a little slow but the place was packed. Table side Guacamole preparation was a great experience. They carry some rare Mezcal and Tequila served with a generous pour. The deserts were also good.
