What a great spot! Lots of food choices. We tried the pizza, Thai, and Dominican options, and all were really good. Food is priced very well, and so are the drinks. The ribs exceeded my expectations, too. It was a thicker sauce which tasted really good.

Went here for lunch the other day and found this to be a great find. Beautifully decorated, good food choices from Pizza to Sandwiches to Latin dishes to coffee and desserts.
Super clean and inviting. Plenty of street parking up front. Great local owners. Service was great. The bar is beatiful!

Friday night I decided to come try this food hall with and invited a group of friends to come with. I tried the mixed mofongo and it was so good I highly recommend it!
The only thing I was really disappointed about was the bar service. We’re completely new to this food hall so didn’t know how it worked, but then a bartender told us that we could sit and she will send a server to take our drink orders and we told her we will be sitting outside. Minutes passed as we were sitting outside and no server came to take our drink orders.. and there was a server outside serving the other outside tables but wouldn’t take ours. We would call her over and she kept purposely ignoring us.. and even when new people would show up and sat outside the server would take their order but still ignore us. I just thought that was very unprofessional. We decided to go up to the bar and just grab our drinks at the bar and bartenders would see us and would ignore us just like the server when we were clearly in front of her face and she saw us but ignored us many times. I personally thought it was very unprofessional on their part and don’t recommend the bar to anyone.

Awsome place for food loved all of the restaurants inside! Unfortunately the bar/servers were awful they didn’t serve our table once while serving other tables even new tables just arriving. We had to repeatedly get up and walk to the bar to then be ignored once we got there! Would recommend for a quick bite not for drinks!

We stumbled upon this spot after our original choice was closed—and I’m so glad it was! This place is an absolute hidden gem, and I’ll definitely be coming back.
Parking was easy, and I loved the outdoor seating area—especially with the fun music playing in the background. What makes this place even better is that there are six different restaurants to choose from under one roof. Just sit wherever you like and a server will come over. Easy and casual. Super easy, no fuss.
We started with the chicken and fries appetizer, and wow—it was massive and packed with flavor! It was so satisfying, we ended up skipping the main course because we were full. The drinks were also amazing—my friend and I were seriously impressed.
Everything was super clean, including the bathroom (always a big plus). Staff friendly and helpful
After a fun antiquing adventure, we couldn’t resist stopping back for round two: a cappuccino, a chocolate chip cookie, and a lemon bar—all were incredible

Wow! This food hall is simply fabulous! I didn’t know what to expect, but I was both impressed and excited by my experience. The vibe and decor is clean, simple, modern with a slight Latin / tropical feel. I could have easily stayed for lunch and then had some downtime and stayed again for dinner and drinks! There are so many food choices and everything I tried was delicious. I loved the coconut shrimp and the Caesar salad. I heard the pizza is wonderful, looking forward to going back and trying that. Drinks from the bar were delicious! Prices are very reasonable and everyone who I interacted with that works there was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I absolutely will be going back with family, friends and clients. Highly recommend!

We found the Cafeteria Food Hall accidentally and had a wonderful experience. There were so many delicious options that it was difficult to choose our meals. The menus are printed in both English and Spanish, giving descriptions of each dish. There are several restaurants here plus a bar in a shared space with tables. Very clean and comfortable!
We chose Columbian from Juan Parrilla Express and it was amazing. The host of the Cafeteria was called over to help with my order because of my gluten allergy (Celiac's). The food arrived quickly and was delicious, with very generous portions.
The host was extremely gracious in helping us and couldn't have been kinder.
Would love to visit again when we're in the area to try more of the restaurants!

This is one of those trendy casually upmarket food halls like you find in NYC and Boston, except this one is spotlessly clean, with a quiet low-key vibe and no shrieking guests who haven't learned about indoor voices yet. I loved the selection of restaurants, there's morning stuff, lunch stuff, and evening options in the form of chic cocktails in the back. The places that caught my attention right away were the pretty bakery in front, and the clever ceviche place.
