Listen, don't let the atmosphere fool you... Food was great and brought a feeling of home.... Great Job and the server was excellent and super nice. Definitely will be back when in Miami.

The food was bomb! Service was a bit slow and in terms of atmosphere just your regular run of the mill, dive restaurant. But the food was bomb! Come here for the food (tuh)!

I had a bad experience on previous trips, but on this last one everything was excellent ?. I think it is not the company itself, it is the crew at each destination and the employees at the airports that make the difference.
