What a wonderful little gem in historic downtown Deland! It's rare that literally everything sampled was great. We had a wonderful experience. As soon as you step into the establishment, it has a cozy Latin vibe. There are huge painted portraits of beautiful Latina's (J-Lo, Selma, Penelope, & Shakira). The food, drinks, and service were outstanding!Shoutout to Yelp for my free Aspirinas for checking in! They came in 4 pieces which consisted cornmeal patties topped with beans, tomato, onion, cheese, and sour cream. My mother ordered the Latin Bowl (ropa vieja, black beans, rice, side salad, and yucca fries. Delicious! My lady ordered the Ceviche Peruano, which is a traditional Peruvian dish, *raw fish fillet with lime juice, served with shredded carrots, red onion, cilantro. Marinated in an aji sauce, with garlic, and leche de tigre (citrus-based marinade). Served with plantain chips. It was super sour and tangy and so good! I ordered the Taquiza Gringa, which was grilled marinated steak on a bed of sautéed onions, bell peppers, and pineapple with melted cheese. Served with corn tortillas, and guacamole on the side. OMG it was amazing! We also ordered a white and a red sangria. Those drinks packed a serious punch (pun intended). The white tasted much stronger but both were excellent. This is easily my favorite restaurant in Deland as of yet and we will be going back!!

I had the pleasure of dining at this gem in DeLand, and I was blown away by the culinary experience. The tapas here are truly world-class, offering a delightful journey for the taste buds. Each dish we tried was exceptional, but the empanadas and vegetarian tacos were standouts—absolutely delicious and highly recommended. The sangria complemented our meal perfectly, striking the right balance of flavors.What made our visit even more special was the service. The staff was friendly and prompt, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we walked in. Chef Nora took the time to walk us through the menu, providing insights and recommendations that enhanced our dining experience.For anyone looking for an exquisite tapas experience, this restaurant in DeLand is a must-visit. The combination of delectable food, refreshing drinks, and impeccable service guarantees a memorable meal. Five stars all the way!

Interesting and great tasting food! Friendly staff. Place was clean. This still applies in 2022. 2023 update: plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. This time I felt it was just okay.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian and vegan options.

Not really impressed with the food or dining experience as a whole. May have been an off day for the restaurant.
We had our tennis group (20) go and the service was great! The food was excellent and for such a large group, came out on time.

The food is hideous. Everyone ordered something different and each person hated their food. Very bad. Not sure why they have good ratings. Yuck!

We wanted to give it a try to this restaurant. We order food through DoorDash. Is this even a mango tart? Is not fair to receive something like that and paying $8 for it. So disappointed.
