    Food was just “OK.” The dish we had (fried rice) was very salty and had way too much garlic in it. Service was slow and it was very noisy.

    Our server was the only one working and when I tell you she went above and beyond to making our experience memorable. From a server, bartender, bus boy and more, she was amazing and I will definitely be back with her soon. Her vibe and work ethic is amazing! Great conversation, great vibes, amazing food and drinks but most of all she made our experience the best.

    We had no experience. It was closed and no one notified us. We found out when we got there and they were closed. We ended up Dallas BBQ. Someone should have called and told us.

    The restaurant had a cute decor and the service was good. The food was decent. I ordered pernil and it was very salty. The chicharrón (fried pork skin) that came along with it was not great. I expected a bit more quality with this specific dish.

    The food was amazing. I have not had food like this since my grandmother would cook for us. They were extremely nice and attentive and they sang happy birthday to me and served me a pretty decorated tres leches cake. I love this place and will definitely be back. Try it. You will not be disappointed. Amazing food. I love it.

    Decided to visit the spot to celebrate. My aunt’s birthday made a last-minute reservation. What time to be seated was maybe less than a minute hostess was amazing. Our server was named Joanna. She was amazing. Food is delicious. Tasted very authentic. Something that my mom will be whipping up in the kitchen, the staff sang happy birthday to my aunt with a delicious tres leches cake. Cocktail drinks are delicious and fuerte! Totally recommend, looking forward to my next visit.
