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!

Great service - all of the staff were super personable & attentive. Michael, the owner, rolled out the red carpet for us as first time visitors. Each plate was AMAZING & the flavors were incredible. We had great drinks & an all around fantastic time. This is a great little spot that is easy to overlook but is an Absolute MUST visit!

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 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.
