Ordered take out a few times. Delish food, fresh and hot! Love the flavors and the trifungo chicken is my fave!

Empanadas were delicious and the varieties were great! Pernil was probably the best I've ever had. Will definitely be back!

Don’t waste your time, we made a reservation a day before, we arrived on time and they told us that the table was occupied. The place didn’t look clean

Went here for mother's day for the first time...place is small but had a real good time. Salsa music was playing and the food was great with amazing flavors. We were a party of 5 so made reservations and got seated quick. The empanadas were also on point. The spot is BYOB so bring a bottle to enjoy.

Service could be better, waited about 1 hr for our food, even then it was not cooked correctly, sent it back. they have outdoor seating but the sidewalk is un-even and have. Mandatory gratuty for groups larger than 4, Tipping for me to reward waitress service, but since it is mandatory...

What a pleasant surprise! This is a small unassuming store front that is an absolute treasure. The menu is broad enough to accommodate any diner and really delicious! The hostess is the server and bus person. I had the oxtail entree and it was tender with a wonderful sauce, rice and beans. Skip the beans, put the rice in the sauce and love it! The calamari appetizer was tender and spicy. The guava dulce con Leche was very sweet. Portions were ample and the price was fair. I'll be back!!

Went for New Years Eve dinner. 1st, it was a fixed price menu that was not advertised online when making the reservation. 2nd, they were busy and only had 2 girls working the front counter and dining area. 1 of the girls was busy handling take out orders, which left the 1 girl to serve a full dining room. We waited over an hour for appetizers, another 56 min for the main entrees and took our desserts to go as we didn't want to wait anymore. It seemed like the kitchen was prioritizing pick-up orders vs their dinning guest. I have visited this restaurant numerous times and their food is always great, the girls provide good service and on this day were trying their best. Management failed their workers and guest on this day due to a lack of staffing, prioritizing, and planning.

My wife and I had dinner here, food was very good and portions were huge for the price, atmosphere was great but tables were a bit to close but we would definitely dine here again in the near future

Good tasty food. Service was a little slower because we chose to sit outside not sure about inside. I would assume there shouldn't be as much as a difference or give a heads up. Otherwise overall great experience.

Wheelchair accessibility: Sat outside so works and comfortable enough for handicapped.
