Great spot for South American food with good service and a clean dining area. The chicharrón, while flavorful, wasn’t as crispy as expected. it ended up being mostly soft, fatty pieces. The decor and TV content feel like a throwback to the ’80s, which adds a quirky charm if you’re into that. Overall, worth a visit for the food and friendly atmosphere.

This restaurant is amazing! The food is incredible. Everything is so fresh and there are plenty of gluten free options. The fresh juices and cocktails pair nicely with the food. We had a birthday dinner with a group this weekend and the staff went above and beyond to make the night special. Must try the Bolon! It’s very affordable and high quality. If I lived closer I would come more often.

Amazing service and food, got free of charge as me and my Dad did a delivery to the place The only thing that was wrong was that they thought my meal was to go, but it was a very good experience.
