The food is amazing here, we just had a waitress that didn’t know the menu. She brought us our tapa after we received our food. She forgot to order a meal we asked to go. She doesn’t know the names of the items or the type of food on the menu.Atmosphere and food wise, this place is amazing!Service, the waitress needs to either learn her job or not work here.

Amazing! Succulent juicy chicken, tender flavorful rice, the tastiest beans I've ever had... I was extremely impressed with the food, waitress and clean relaxing atmosphere. A huge amount of food for under $20. Next time I'll get half to go for a second meal.
