We went on Saturday evening right before 7pm. The service was slow and terrible and the food too. We had the bistec encebollado and the stuffed chicken breast. The steak was burnt and the sauce tasted burnt. The mashed malanga that came with the chicken tasted dry and the sauce for the chicken was salty. The drinks took over 20 minutes to come and they weren’t even busy. The best part was the drinks, after they came. We had an el aventurero and a passion colada.

Service is decent but after five visits here over a 9 month span I have noticed the consistency in service and it is terrible… for example Thursdays is free hookah and the guy the deals with the hookah want give u a hookah unless you promise a tip and if your Spanish u get it immediately.. which is crazy because the hookah has no flavor… because they pack it extremely light…

I recently came here with a party of 11, and honestly, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. We had a reservation, so you’d think they would’ve been prepared but nope. They squeezed us into a super tight area with barely enough seating, and everyone was uncomfortable from the moment we sat down. It felt like they just threw the table together last minute without thinking.
We had the pre-fixed menu with the “unlimited” drinks for two hours, but that turned out to be pointless because the service was unbelievably slow. Our waiter was horrible constantly disappearing, joking around, and not paying attention to our table at all. Because of how long he took to come back each time, most of us only managed to get two drinks within the whole two-hour limit. Definitely not worth the money.
The food didn’t save the experience either. The appetizers made a few of us feel sick almost immediately, and instead of checking in, the staff seemed overwhelmed and uninterested. When the entrées finally came out, some orders were completely wrong, some plates were cold, and nothing looked like it was made with care. For such a big party, you’d expect better coordination, but it felt like chaos the entire time.
Overall, this was just a horrible experience from all angles!!!! service, food, organization, everything. I would not recommend this place at all, and I definitely won’t be returning. Save your money and energy and go literally anywhere else.

Music was way too loud. So loud, I couldn't hear anyone speaking to me. My drinks were given to me in a plastic cup and didn't look like the pictures on the menu at all. I'll say the drinks tasted great, but presentation sucked. Food: my appetizer with the pinchos was great, however, for the entree I had to send it back because it was made wrong and I got the wrong things. My waiter then switched our table to another waitress because he got upset that I sent the food back. I'm not going to sit here and settle for a plate I'm paying 39$ for. Fair to say, I'd likely not go back.

I went there with my daughter who was visiting and on a Tuesday when they had the band and we had a spectacular time from the moment we walked in. I saw people that I knew, though it had been quite a number of years since I’ve been there. It was warm and inviting lively and we were lucky enough to sit next to a family that was celebrating their 80+ birthday. The sushi fusion that I had was amazing and it consisted of steak shrimp with bit of sweet plantain and my daughter had steak and arroz con gandules. We practically licked our plates. finally and I wish I could remember the name of our waitress who was very attentive and we just loved her. My only regret was not getting her name. We had a wonderful time and I cannot wait to go back.

Because we went early there is no wait but I do suggest that you schedule a reservation as this is a very busy place.
Also it is a little bit loud inside due to the amazing music and great DJ so I would not suggest as a place if you are looking for a quiet restaurant vibe. This is more for you and your friends to hang out, drink,and dance. The Sunday brunch is great. It's a out $50- $70 spending wise. Definitely more on a Saturday. The staff is so pleasant and attentive. Everything is clean as well. This may be the 1st time I didnt ask for a cup of hot water for utensils

Always have a great time here. Had one issue one time but was immediately corrected and resolved. Music is always great. Passion fruit margaritas are my favorite here.

Bottomless brunch that turns into a full out party, the sangria is reallly good! However I warn you all that after sitting there for 3+ hours your ears will be ringing when you leave. I highly recommend wearing ear protection!! (ear plugs)

The atmosphere is very nice the food was absolutely delicious the only issue that we had was a language barrier with the wait staff other than that. The experience was definitely worth it. I would return for another visit there are items on the menu that Im interested in tasting.

I go there on Tuesday nights for the Latin night. We get there early for dinner. Stay for the dancing and band. If you love old school vibes when it comes to Salsa, this is the place.
