Great ambience and kind service. Yuca Cheese Balls app was simple & delicious! The Oxtail was worth the $28. The Cuban eggplant was ok. The Guava Mojito (non-alcholic) & Tres Leches (freshly made) were to phenomenal! Overall for two, it came out to $77 which is fair for the service, the location and the food. Definitely will go back!
Amazing food. Great service. Loved the sangria option with BYOB. Will be back for sure! Got plaintains, skirt steak, chicken with onions, sangria, tres leches, coconut sorbet.
Came here last night and will have to say that I really enjoyed their food. Our waitress was great and very friendly. We order beef and cheese/spinach empanadas. It was my first time having the cheese and spinach combo, so even though I was skeptical, it ended up being pretty good. For an entree I chose the Palomilla Steak w/ rice and beans. The steak was extremely good, easy to cut and not dried one bit. The rice was good but I will have to admit that I was not a fan of the black beans. They lacked tasted from all angles, however, thankfully it was only a side. As a dessert, we had the tres leches cake ( milk cake), which I do not recommend getting. The even though the milk was good, the cake itself was very dry. Not sure if it was because of the cake itself or how old it was, maybe it was in the refrigerator for too many days. Not sure but we were over it after the first bite and this is coming from someone with a sweet tooth. Overall, I recommend this restaurant. Even though, it is a little pricey, the food and service was great! The atmosphere was perfect and welcoming, not to mention they went out of their way to split a table to make it only for two just because we preferred not to sit next to the entry/exit door. This simple gesture won me over instantly. I can see the place being packed on Friday nights and weekends, so I recommend going there with time. By the way, the place is BYOB so that's always a plus!
My coworkers and I celebrated my boss's surprise birthday party here and had a great time. I called like 4 or 5 times to change and confirm our reservations and they were very understanding. When we got there, our waitress Erika was extremely helpful and accommodating. She set up the balloons we brought in the middle of the table and washed the birthday girl's special wine glass. We ordered pitchers of red sangria and mojitos which were delicious. We got 2 appetizer samplers for 11 people but I think we could have gotten 3. For entrees we ordered the vaca frita, ropa vieja, lechon, shrimp in coconut sauce, and Caribbean fried rice. EVERYTHING was delicious. The flavors were authentic and balanced. The portions were generous. The service was great. For dessert we had the flan which was creamy and light and the guava and cheese empanadas which were tart and sweet and salty all at the same time. I will definitely be there again!

Great food great service in a beautiful atmosphere. Can't go wrong.
Place a pickup order for a Carrasco with Moro and a side of sweet plantains. The sides were more than enough, steak was perfect as well as the more. Received a call that my order was ready. Friendly staff, definitely coming again
Great food, great service, we keep coming back for more! My lady says they have some of the the best vegetarian paella she's ever had!
