I was not impressed with this restaurant. You order via your phone which was a time waster since the guy working was just starting at us waiting for us to order. It would have been faster for him just to take our order at the table when we got there. I was missing aside of coleslaw with my dish but the worker dipped out after dropping off our food so I couldn't let him know. The food was mediocre and overpriced for what you get. I am giving it 2 status because the atmosphere was cool but other than that I will not be returning.
Checked this place out for the first time when I was in the area and loved everything about it! The Caribbean food was delicious and affordable, the drink selection had something for everyone, and I loved the colorful decor and fun music. I also really enjoyed chatting with the owner when he was in between things. I'll go out of my way to come back for sure!

I ordered more than I could eat just so I could try multiple dishes AND have leftovers for the next night.
I finished the leftovers the same night.
I will definitely be a repeat customer.

First time stopping in since the change. Everything we had was so delicious. The ordering can be a little tricky because we had an appetizer there and the rest was to go and its all online. The owner is always great. We love him. So welcoming.

Very different and tasty food. A real treat

Really like the staff and concept but left hungry. And I weigh just a couple of pounds above the underweight limit. My single arepa was way hard with no density. Toppings were not enough and a tablespoon scoop of potato salad to fill up my stomach. Pricey for the amount of food. Maybe my order was a mishap based on other reviews but can’t justify the price for the quality/portion to try again.

Can't recommend this place enough!! The empanadas are perfect. The Arepa bowl is everything you could ask for. The pabellon is to die for and the owner is treat! I wish I took pictures but I was too busy stuffing my face! The sugar cane and lemon drink with rum also highly recommended!

Currently, this is my favorite place to eat.
The food is AMAZING AND SO ARE THE DRINKS...!!!
If you are looking to spoil yourself, then you really need to go here to do so.
The place is so amazing, my wife and I came back there twice in the same day.
We definitely will be returning again.
Vegetarian options: The cornmeal is today for and you'd be really missing out if you didn't try something the pulled beef or shredded beef is juicy tender and amazing
Dietary restrictions: What are the patrons at the restaurant was saying how everything that she ordered was gluten free
Parking: Please don't miss out on this restaurant and please help this small business grow because it is one of the best in the area
Kid-friendliness: Our granddaughter initially didn't want to eat here but as soon as she took a bite of the empanada and she jumped off the big table to the little table where we were sitting and destroyed empanadas.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessibility

Great overall experience easy to order menu and food that tastes like homemade food growing up! I had the soup which was great on a cold day. I can’t think of one bad thing on the menu. There was only one person working that day but the food actually came out pretty fast so no complaints.
