The spot provides good service. Staff were pleasant and demonstrated expertise. The place shows attention to visual and emotional details. Light cooking with lemon brightness in every bite. This place provides reliable service.

Love this place! The service and food was great! They were able to accommodate a party of 20 last minute and did a fabulous job!! The wait wasn't as long as we anticipated. Thank you! We all can't wait to visit again!

We went for a birthday celebration. The food was excellent and definitely budget friendly and we orderedway too much!! The Seafood Paella was out of this world. However, the staff is lacking. Took too long for our dinner and our waitress pretty much disappeared. She wanted me to sign the receipt again even though I already had paid the bill with the manager. I had to confirm with them that my bill was only processed once. Will I go back? Maybe.....

I came to thsi restaurant because I heard the food is authentic and they have mofongo. The restaurant has a take out section, casual and formal dining, and a bar. The mofongo wasn't the best like i had in Puerto Rico. The Plantains were a bit dry with little seasoning. I've noticed that the garlic heightens the flavour of the Plantains. I had to ask the waiter for extra garlic source, which made a big difference. The tomato sauce was good.
