This restaurant is easy to find, Google take you right to it and parking is fine.Let me start by saying the service was fine, so was the atmosphere.The food is amazing!I had the cabrito guisado and omg was it absolutely amazing!My husband had a chuletón with a side of enchiladas , and he did not complain, but we both agreed the cabrito was stellar!I love cabrito and I will not hesitate to mention, I am very very picky when it comes to cabrito.I usually enjoy it grilled, but I decided to give this a try and I was not disappointed.The cabrito is only available Thursday- Sunday, I’m assuming because it is labor intensive and a bit pricey compared to fajita etc.The botana is also amazing. Every aspect cooked to perfection.Still, I can’t wait to return for a taste of the cabrito guisado.The meat was juicy and oh so tender. The guisado sauce was well seasoned and did not over power the taste of cabrito.

They didn't speak English, the waitress told us there wasn't a cook , nor a bartender in the building, plus not to order a lot of food cuz they weren't going to cook cuz it wasn't there job. We ordered, just chips and salsa, we were talking, she kept leaving to talk with the other waitress, we kept waving for her to take our order of beer bottles and again she left us talking, we grabbed her attention again to come give us service, we ordered chips & salsa we reminded her, she left again and we all looked at each other, we waved at her and asked her what happened to our chips & salsa, she just brought the chips, again we waited cuz this time she stayed in the back, after a while we saw her again and asked if we could get salsa & limes , she left again and we asked what about our limes, and again waited for her, after 15 minutes pasted we waited & we waved at another waitress to plz bring us bring us limes, and a round of beers she just brought us 1 slice of lime , not a few wedges no just 1 slice & it was old and no juice on the slice, what a bad service we had, none spoke English and the service was very bad, they need personal that enjoy working there not just be there for a pay check.

Had to call several times and when they finally answered they told me to call in 20 min because she was too busy to place my order.

We go here frequently and I love that it’s just a good atmosphere. The waitresses are always great (except one older lady with bangs) but aside from her everything is always awesome.

Great food but don't order their water down margaritas! They are the worst and then they won't make you a new one because you already tasted yours.

We went for a piña colada and food, turns out they didn't have a bartender, & off the bat the waitress told us not to order food cuz they didn't have a cook, & she said don't order to much food, then to top it off none of the waitress didn't spoke English, we said okay can we get some chips and salsa while we wait for the cook & bartender to get here, she kept leaving & we weren't done talking to her, we saw them in a little bunch talking to themselves and we waved at them to remind her of the chips , she brought it & again she took off , back with the other waitress and we waved again, we told her you forgot the salsa, again she left left us talking, again we waved she saw us waving and rolled her eyes & went to the back , we called the other waitress and got ignored, after a 10 minutes, she came out from the back, and we waved again we asked her for the limons she forgot to bring us , & left , we waved at her , we just asked her for the bill, they made us feel unwanted there we were planning on having lunch and a couple of drinks but she kept leaving & living us talking. That was very rude of them. Never again my friends were shocked & so was I as to how we were treated. Never again will I invite my friends there to have them treated that way. So disrespectful.
