We ordered nearly the whole menus. Some of the food was good. Other things were poorly prepared.
The ox tail was barely seasoned and in a liquid broth, though the photo made it look like it was in a deep rich gravy. My sisters snapper bites tasted like vinegar. The.. Raw fish. Don't recall if ceviche or a crudo.. Squares of white fish. The fish was tough. My fork didn't go in the first time I tried. It was VERY pretty though. 3 people tried it and passed it along. Shrimp empanada was good, chicken empanada - the chicken was dry af and unseasoned. There was a green sauce that was utterly divine. I put it on EVERYTHING. my yuca fries (which were DELICIOUS and perfectly fried), the skewers (the shrimp and chicken skewer, both good)

My friend said the steak was not cooked as he directed. My niece loved her steak.

The restaurant has a very good presentation, the food is delicious, if you plan to go you should know that for each dish you will pay approximately $50, it is advisable to leave the cars with the valet parking guys... and inside the sound of music It sounds too loud... if you want a quiet environment, I highly doubt that you will find it here, because of the noise... The service of the waiters is great...

Their food is a little inconsistent but still good. Sometimes it is amazing and sometimes a little on the salty side.

we came in no one was they're to greet us or sit us down waited 5 to 10 minutes for somebody to even acknowledge us longer to get seated Even though the place was almost empty now I know why it was empty service there very lacking even after having told the waiter we were hungry it took them another 20 minutes for the server to come back and tell us that the kitchen was closed Even though they had given us the food menu and they were still supposed to be open for another 2 hours

Tried giving it another chance but wow it is disappointing. VERY OVER PRICED
for the amount of food they give and the service SUCKS. The service unfortunately is super slow even when you are the only one in the restaurant. Made me want to cancel my whole lunch.

This plae is pretty special. It was very upscale, the food was very tasty and was very sold portions for the value/price. We went for Houston Restaurant Week and really enjoyed. They do have a menu that revolves their coctails. So that was pretty great. I recommend this venue to a couple looking to celebrate an occation. Expect to take food home and be sure to leave room for the desert 10/10 worth it.

This place is so amazing. Love the vibe, went on a Thursday night for ladies' night, and had so much fun. Everyone is so welcoming. Josue is my favorite. Totally recommend this place.

Here’s a refined version of your review:

I recently visited this restaurant and noticed that it could benefit from better ventilation, as there was a strong seafood smell when I walked in. I ordered the trio empanadas but could only eat half of the shrimp one; the smell and taste didn’t appeal to me. While the staff kindly offered to replace it, I declined as I was hesitant to order anything else by that point. They still charged me, which I said was fine. I also had a hamburger, which was just okay.

One thing to note is that appetizers are sold individually, which makes it more expensive compared to other places that offer platters. Additionally, the service was slow, even though it wasn’t a particularly busy Sunday night. I imagine the wait times could be even longer on busier nights.

For anyone familiar with Latin food, you might find the trio empanadas disappointing.

I had my birthday dinner here, we were a large party of 12. I have been to this place a few times and loved the vibe because it is a Latin restaurant. I hyped this spot up so much but was left disappointed.

5/5 Service-impeccable our waitress was outstanding, attentive, friendly & got our order correct which is rare with such a large party. There was no weird billing issues. She was awesome!

5/5 food- I ordered the whole red snapper. It was delicious and a large generous portion. My guests all ordered different things and enjoyed it.

5/5 drinks- I had the mamajuana passion all night. They are good strong drinks.

5/5 ambiance- it’s such an aesthetically pleasing place. So pretty & they have hookah for those of you that enjoy that.

Now to the part that killed my entire birthday vibe!!

0/5 music- keep in mind this was my birthday outing and I chose this spot because it is a Latin restaurant with a Latin vibe. The dj played nothing but early hip hop like ying yang twins & 50 cent! I hyped this place up to my guests as a Latin spot wanting to listen to Latin music and they definitely made me look bad. I did speak with the GM and he said that they were correcting the issue asap. So I will be back to update my review after I visit again.

Overall, I do recommend this spot especially on a Thursday for the live band & service.

The restaurant is located in the business center of the city.
Pros: good location, pleasant atmosphere, delicious cocktails for every taste. Here you can order hookah.
Cons: Service was quite slow.
