I ordered steak with broccoli,mashed potatoes, and empanadas for the appetizer. It was DELICIOUS. Everything had so much flavor and made to perfection 👌🏾 I tried my family members food which was just as good. The portions for the sides are big enough for 2 EXCEPT for the asparagus. I enjoyed this restaurant a lot.
