Great food, great atmosphere, good prices. Checks all boxes for us. We moved to the area in July and try a couple new restaurants every week. This one is near the top of our list. Really enjoyed the Cuban sandwich and Ropa Vieja. Give them a try.

Wonderful restaurant that truly feels like you've been transported to Latin America! The flavors is perfect and you can tell it is wonderful even just from the flavor in their rice and beans! The decorations are vintage and transportative! In the summer it did feel pretty warm inside, but I imagine on a nice day it would be great to sit outside on the patio.
