I was really excited to try this place. The experience started off great—service was attentive, and both the drinks and food were enjoyable. However, things quickly took a turn once we asked to be seated outside. Big mistake.

Shortly after sitting down, we had to ask staff to kill a large spider near our table. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of it. We ended up killing three more spiders ourselves—plus a roach. I understand we were outside, but the lack of maintenance was unacceptable. When we were first seated, the area seemed fine, likely because the outdoor lights weren’t on yet. But once they turned on, it revealed that most of the chairs were covered in spider webs—and some still had spiders crawling on them.

I asked to speak to a manager and was told there wasn’t one available. Our server dismissed our concerns, saying, “Well, since I didn’t see the spiders, there’s nothing I can do.” I literally handed her napkins with the dead spiders in them so she could see them. Even then, nothing was done.

To top it all off, they began placing cleaning supplies on our table while we were still sitting there, and while the kids were still eating.

We wanted to enjoy ourselves, and the service started strong—but the lack of cleanliness and the poor response to our concerns completely ruined the experience. Definitely not returning

Little more lowkey spot but still has amazing Puerto Rican inspired dishes, especially the mofongos.

Drove from Durham to try out the inovated menu and atmosphere. Everything we had was delicious. To drink, we had a strawberry Margarita pitcher and it was good enough for two people. The waitress was attentive but missed some things like giving us the plates and making sure we had everything set up on the table. To start we ordered the mixed pinchos and wow! –They were pretty good with a nice presentation with fried yuca along with an amazing dressing and a salad. We also ordered the empanadas and they were okay (not a big fan anyways). The atmosphere is welcoming and bathrooms were super clean too. 4/5 👌

The food is good. But the price to flavor along with the experience is not equivalent. It is a place to experience once. Came once but not twice.

The food is good.Let's get that out of the way. The bigger problem was, they had no drinks besides alcohol and water. The waitress super slow and had a nasty attitude. The biggest problem was this the music was so loud you can't even hear yourself think. At the bar there were 4 dudes drunk as hell being super obnoxious.
And grabbing on one of the girl bartenders. Like I said, the food was okay. The atmosphere was garage and the service was horrible. This isnt a restaurant.This is a hangout spot for the lower class.
