My wife and I were walking past before they were open and smelled how delicious their food was and had to come back! The service was amazing and our food came out very fast. My wife is Puerto Rican and felt soo happy eating the food! PLEASE COME TO COLUMBIA, MD!!

Was asked if interested in happy hour, said yes, then was seated outside of the happy hour area and unable to order from the happy hour menu.

Food was good and I would eat here again. Music selection was weird as it would go from reggaeton like J Balvin and Zion to bachata then back to reggaeton.

For my very first experience at this restaurant it was absolutely everything I could ever ask for Plus the server asked a question that was never asked before which showed his attention to detail! The food was fantastic! The way that the restaurant was decorated which gave you a real feeling like you was in Cuba was absolutely wonderful to me! The drinks were definitely good as well and if you want to try a new restaurant that is the restaurant to go to! I will be back!
