The menu says $13 for a plate of rice and beans and pork they charge me $23 then I ordered three empanadas and my total was $33 a little bit strange so. Proceeded to eat my food and the taste was disgusting. The beans no flavour the empanadas they had like canned or Chunks of chicken in it instead of shredded chicken juicy the ground beef tasted like ground beef no flavour.

Me and my girlfriend went here on a Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The food was tasty, The portions were big , the live music was great, the waitress Jeissy/Heissy did a great job attending to us. We felt very looked after. I didn’t like the sauce on one of my meals because something about it was really bothering my mouth and the owner, Cesar, had the cook make me something more palatable and made sure that I got taken care of and was very kind and professional.Inside, the restaurant has a nice layout. Outside, there is seating and some lighting.The beef empanadillas were amazing. The natural juices were good too, the lemonade was good. The bistec encebollado was delicious! We will be returning. This is a great restaurant to go to on on a Friday or weekend and eat some good food, hear some good music and enjoy the atmosphere.Esto es un buena restaurante! Buen Gente y Buen Comida!

We weren’t very hungry, but we wanted to try this place because we were in the area and I highly recommend it. It was excellent. The service was above par. The people were super nice. The owner stopped by to say hello. I can’t say enough definitely will go back.Parking: Parking was great plenty of spots. Good location on university.

Our family enjoyed the traditional dishes like Mofongo, churrasco, tostones, sorullitos and shrimp. Great flavors and very well prepared dishes. A big surprise was the cheesecake frappe we had for dessert. Delicious! Very nice friendly service as well. We will return once again....
