Hand down the fish was 10 out of 10 and the ceviche was full of shrimp. I had the best fried green banana that came with the fish. It was so good! I will definitely be coming back soon.

This place is a hidden gem. They cater to everyone’s tastes, with great options for vegan and vegetarian diners. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and their homemade hot sauces are incredible. Prices are fair, and the overall vibe is great!
