Went there tonight for the third time. The first two times were great. Tonight, the food was poor at best. Almost everything seemed to be prepackaged and frozen that we had. The service was poor at best. The restaurant was almost empty so there is no excuse for the poor service. We will never go there again.

Cannot say anything bad about the taste or quality of the food here. Our favorite was the shrimp ceviche which was delicious. However, compared to the other tapas places we have been to, the portion size for the price was generally a bit too low, especially for the seafood paella.

I really enjoyed this tapa place. It has a small bar and cozy dining room. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly. The owner checked in on us, too. We had a shrimp dish that was amazing...the sauce was fantastic and small ciabattas were provided to dip it. The steak was a little tough but the flavor was good especially with the mashed potatoes that came with.We were a party for 2 and split the two dishes and were full, yet split the small chocolate mousse for dessert. Although the mousse price was quite steep, it was rich and lovely. It was so good that one of us ordered a mousse to go. We couldn't eat a second dessert so a tres leches cake was taken to go, as well.I wish I would have taken photos of the food. I only took a photo of the mousse after opening it. I will definitely be dining here again so I'll have to take pics and add them to this review at some point. This place is a gem!

Food was great. I really liked the nachos. Don't let the drinks fool you, if you have too many you will feel it when you rise.

Such good food. The elote nachos are really good. My only complaint would be there could be more elote under the top chips. The avocado ceviche was the best! Enjoyed the plantains in it too. The yuca fries were not good. They were home fry style and hard. Good yuca is soft and should have been like a potato. The chicken empanada was ok. It was over cooked so the crust was hard and the filling was SO hot. Careful. I liked the arepas. Loved that they were crispy and the sauce that came with it complimented it well. Happy hour drinks were good too. They brought sauces to the table but didn’t explain so we left them alone. We weren’t sure what they were for. Curious enough to come back and try other items on the menu.

We had outstanding service and food. Our waiter was Cameron, and he recommended some really great dishes that we could have overlooked.The classic ceviche was perfectly executed.The Churrasco was also as a standing, perfectly cooked. The crispy brussels sprouts had a little bit of heat, but not too too much. I’d definitely go back!

I had a solid order from this restaurant previously but today Everything was overcooked. The Picanha on Uber Eats shows a rare-looking cut of meat for $32 and I ended up with a tasteless brick, with no hint of Habanero rub. Unfortunately a big waste on tonight's order. I spent over $100 and everything down to the scallops was burnt or overcooked. I cannot justify buying from here again sadly, a 50/50 chance for decent food when I'm paying this much is not acceptable. Tried multiple times to call the restaurant but the line is busy each time

My first time in this place !The food here is good and so are the drinks !The staff is friendly and inviting!! The place is clean and the food is great I would come back no doubt !!!
My daughter took me there tonight pre Mother’s Day. I have been trying to get there for a year. Food was excellent. Love everything. Tthe salmon over coconut rice needed some flavor, me been puertorican we add sason on everything. Our server/waitress Ashley was awesome. Very pleasant, carismatic. Great environment. The vegan food was delicious. Great place to be with friends. Will go again and already recommended to my friends.
I've ate there twice now and both of the main dishes I've tried are fantastic! I'm going back again tomorrow for dinner to further explore the menu. Looking forward to it.

Really yummy happy hour and good service! Price also good, especially for tapas. My husband and I shared 3 happy hour items and left pretty satisfied (despite both being pretty hungry). Recommend!
I would just like to inform you that I am highly disappointed with your place of business. For starters, I arrived at your location just the other day to order the Seafood Paella. I even called ahead to make sure it was still on your menu. I had a full-blown conversation with your waiter about if it was enough for 2 and told her I wanted that and ordered drinks but was unsure of the appetizer. When she brought the drinks I then told her the appetizer I wanted. Well, she forgot to even put the order in and litterly I left with just having one drink and an appetizer.I went home still wanting to try this dish,So I was willing to giving you a second chance to make it right [ordered online] and lets just said you faild me again. The flavor was not there and to top it off it was not as advertised. You put 3 mussels 4 shrimp, and I don't know if I can even say there was more than 2 scallops. They were so small and cut in half. For the price you're charging you're ripping people off. I hope you can make it right for the next guest / person who orders from you.
