I have been here many times. Milton and Ziayah always treats us well and it’s has the best drinks. Food is delicious and the vibe is the best if you’re looking to have a family dinner on the weekdays or a night out with great music on the weekend. Come here to experience the peak of Latin culture

Stopped by this afternoon as I was driving by and saw it is under new management. You can see renovations are coming and the new manager/owner has lots of good ideas. Saw new lights being installed as we were leaving. Ordered lomo saltado and it was great. Waiter super friendly.

This place is every underrated. The food tasted amazing, especially the lomo saltado, it was so delicious. The horchata was also so flavorful and tasted amazing, I’ll excited to come back for more. They also have a sign outside that says they have karaoke nights, and inside they have some gambling machines and hookahs, so seems like a fun place to come to at night as well.
