I am thrown a back by how amazing this place is! Not only to find Puertorican food and a beautiful vibe but to find it affordable too is such a steal. Mina our server was more than everything I could have asked for. She’s from Pakistan and speaks perfect Spanish! Like what?! She’s so cool! She really made the experience so cool! I love the live music and I still can’t believe how late they are open every night 10/10 I will be back. I live in Venice and THIS is worth a drive...

The meal also includes a cup of chicken...

We really enjoy this place and highly recommend it! The food, staff and atmosphere is great. The price point offers the best deal in Sarasota! They a have lunch and dinner specials every day of the week. Lunch specials are $6.99 and dinner is only $9.99. All day Wednesday empanadas are $1.00 each and happy hour every day until 6. Live music, karaoke and more.
