Excellent quality of food of Country that is hard to find cuisine from. Easy to find your run of the mill Central American food such as Nicaraguan, but not a superior one as Costa Rican cuisine. The true Gallo Pinto comes from Costa Rica hands down. All others are imitations. #puravida
delicious and freshly made!
We were in from out of town and tried this place based on their reviews. The food was absolutely amazing. The guacamole was incredible and our entrees had so much flavor and depth to them. They were very accommodating for me being that I'm vegan/plant based.
