The food is praised by customers, who recommend the ropa vieja, arroz con pollo, banana chips, and yucca frita. The bartender's Bacardi limone mojito is also a hit, and the croquettes are excellent. The chef is highly regarded, with one customer saying the tierra y mar dish was perfectly seasoned and the flavors and textures complemented each other perfectly. The restaurant's atmosphere is described as dark and mellow, with attentive service.
