“We wanted oxtails and the place we were supposed to go was closed for the week. So we landed here. I got oxtails, my husband got jerk chicken. We also got the beef empanadas. The empanadas were everything yelp said they were. Crisp and delicious. The oxtails were pretty good, a little heavy on the salt, but well seasoned. There was a hint of something burnt, so it probably stuck to the bottom of the pot while cooking, but it wasn't overwhelming the flavor of the dish itself. My husband LOVED his jerk chicken, no complaints of any sort. He said the people were nice and friendly. The food is a little salt heavy but I would visit again.“
