I found the place very nice. Average service, I ordered a cachapa, it was good. I want to make the suggestion that you moderate the volume of the place. Thursday 6pm and the volume was Antro. Uncomfortable.

The food is absolutely delicious! The baby crispy arepitas were fantastic and a great way to sample some of the popular arepa flavors. The shrimp curry was rich and sweet, the arroz con pollo was amazing, the pork pepito was tasty with a delicious sauce, and the pasta carbona was very creamy with some smoked bacon flavor. The portions were all very big and the bottle of wine was very reasonably priced. Will definitely come back again!

We use to order from here all the time, slowly over the passed couple years, the portions got smaller and quality got worse. When I placed my last order the server couldn’t understand me. I asked if instead of the rice my meal came with if I can just have plantains, no rice, she didn’t understand that and we still got the rice, and a side of plantains for $6 for only 5 plantains! I also asked for the fried green plantains platter, it comes with five and you choose what meats in each one. She said she didn’t know what that was but it clearly states it as is on their menu, so I just said never mind to that. When I picked my order up I stepped out of the way of a server I thought was walking by, it’s pretty tight in there where the cash register is and the tables in front of it. When I saw she turned around, I moved back in front of the cash register, then she with an attitude said excuse me, it was very rude the way she said it. I just felt so unwelcomed and like I was an inconvenience. I always tip, and I leave $10 or more no matter what we get usually. But this time I decided not to because of how I was treated the lack of effort to try to get my order right and the portions and quality for the price was just not worth it.Sucks because this place was good but i don’t know if it’s a staff problem or what but they lost our business that night.

Looks like a Starbucks with candles. I was parched and asked for water upon being given a menu and waited ten minutes when another table of two arrived and the server got them drinks but never got me anything and didn’t even look at me. I have to assume the food is as good as the service at that point. I left after waiting over ten minutes for nothing. There was a total of 6 people dining in this restaurant

Extremely expensive, the food takes a long time to arrive and does not meet expectations because of how expensive it is. I won't be back again.

This is the most expensive place and they have to pay attention to the bill because they charge more
