My experience at this restaurant was terrible I made reservations at 9pm to celebrate my birthday I got there before 9pm and the waitress told me it has to be four people in order for us to be seated which makes no sense be it was eight of us and the whole time I was standing up with my friends because she said it’s no tables available right, so the whole night I didn’t get a table until about 1am they are so unprofessional the waitress kept telling give her a second everyone that was sitting down been there for hours and didn’t wanna give there seat up they gotta do better because they are losing out on a lot of money. I will never go back there again.

This place is literally disgusting the food is tasteless and horrible the price for a happy hour drink is just ridiculous. On top of all that they have the nerve to be doing hookah in hear for good sake this is a well a so call restaurant not a lounge just unbelievable then on top of all this my server was disgusting coughing in her hand not going to wash it and had the nerve to touch my orange and place it in my drink like really that's how germs is spread like no cleannest at all she never came back to even check on us then they have the nerve to include the tip with other chargers just ridiculous I literally regret wasting my money in this establishment but guess what I will definitely not return hear period horrible overall.

This place fell off. Years ago it was a decent place to get a drink and a bite to eat. But lately it’s all glitter and no substance.
My pork chops were so dry I couldn’t even eat them. And my happy hour sangria, for 7 dollars, was in a teeny weeny little glass that was filled with ice. I only got two sips out of it and did not order another one… And besides, it taste like koolaid. My guess didn’t drink the sangria because the server was seen coughing into her hand and using the same hand to place the sliced orange on the glass. Yuck!!!

This is a good place if you want to hear music and party, but the drinks, food, and customer service is not good here IMO.
I’ll skip this place in the future….

I have been to sangria over 100 times! But lately the restaurant has been slacking. I went this past Saturday 3/15/25. The waiter I had was a short women with bun in her hair name Manuela L. Seen many times and actually had her once before. She literally stole my money! My bill was $226.03 and still have the receipt. The airhead lady basically lied to me and stated I gave her a certain amount of cash. I gave her $260 and she stated I gave her $240. She proceeds to still give me the wrong change. Whole time she was rushing my table that actually wanted to do bottle service and was spending lots of money of drink, food and hookah but she kept rushing us at the table, was very rude to us! But the stealing my money was out of the question! You guys need to pay them more if that’s the case but stealing over $30 dollars and had gratuity added to the bill! She basically made $60 and I didn’t even want to tip due to her rushing my table and we actually was spending money. On top of that, the place is packed with guys who aren’t even spending money! So I’m just confused on how things are ran by this establishment! Saturday made my last night and probably wouldn’t go back due to this! Manager should reach out me or I’ll reach out myself! I would advise to not let them think your drunk or they are stealing money from you!

These people allow hookah in this restaurant. SMOKING IS NOT ALLOWED IN PUBLIC PLACES, & hasn't been allowed in restaurants for the past 40 or so years. Hookah is a drug. This type of behavior is why someone was shot inside this place a few years back, & they closed down for a while. Do not patronize this business until they stop allowing smoking in or near the place. Call the health department to report such sightings. It used to be a nice restaurant with good food & nice music. Now it's a dump & an unhealthy place to dine.

Food is on point but the service needs a lot of work. The atmosphere is good at times but when there's a DJ working, you can't hear yourself talking to the group you came with. It was a good place when it first opened but I feel like it fell off over the years.

Manager Ms. Claritza was extremely rude and disrespectful. Horrible! Worst manager during a busy hour.

I enjoy going here, but they're more about the money now. It's not as enjoyable. I was going here when it first opened. They're not as nice, they don't treat the customers the same. It's no longer a neighborhood spot. They want it to be a club more than a restaurant, but they don't have club space, so you have to compromise quality of service. The music is too loud during early Sunday brunch. Food is still good,but it's not as enjoyable.

I ordered Branzino. The presentation was nice. However, fish was made as a bowl for the pineapple rice, served on which looks like a wooden cutting board. How should I eat this? As I am eating the fish, the rice is flowing out onto the table. I decided to take it home. It wasn't bad, I felt it could be served into something that will keep the rice on the plate

My family and I came here on a Saturday during brunch time and it wasn’t the greatest experience.

Upon arrival, I heard the loud music and realized this might not be the spot for us. It’s a party brunch. There was a big speaker, some few large groups of people celebrating and dancing with not a quiet place in sight.

On the good note, we were greeted and seated right away. They also have a lot of food options on the menu and our server was attentive and helpful.

However, we were given dirty cups.

So for a quick recap:

Strike 1 the loud music.

Strike 2 the dirty glasses. There was a lipstick stain on one and floating dirt in another glass.

We ordered alot of food. The tostones were great. The fries were very soft. The calamari was tasteless. All of the sides weren’t very appetizing; the asparagus, the broccoli, the mash potatoes was very salty and the rice and beans were just okay.

My aunt ordered the lobster paella and she was the only pleased person at the table. She did say the sangria tasted like juice tho.

So by now we’re at strike three. Four. And five. Unfortunately we all left with that feeling of, “we should’ve gone somewhere else” but we tried it. So I will not be back here and I can’t really recommend.

I think if you’re looking for a party brunch, this is your place. And if you do come, you may want to order from the brunch menu, avoid ordering the sides and expect the sangria to taste like juice.

It was a nice experience. My food was pretty good, my husband's food was okay. There was a live DJ on that Friday. He didn't play any Spanish music while I was there, which I thought was a little weird (being that it's a Spanish restaurant), but I did enjoy most of the selections. I would go again.

I went during what must be their club hours. We were not expecting this. It was very loud - our server couldn't even hear us. I'm not taking away points for any of this though, it was just not our preference or type of atmosphere. My friend said she had been earlier in the day and it wasn't like that. Just a heads up in case that's not what you're looking for.
