Everything was fantastic. Only in my opinion and that of my family, the music was too loud for a restaurant.

Great food, amazing service. And really cool vibes. It is very very loud inside - so not the best spot for conversation, families, or catching up: but a fantastic spot for fun.

Please note reservations is important. Food was excellent. I ordered calamari, tropical shrimp, ceviche, burger and short ribs, service from Juan and other staff was outstanding. Also the decor is amazing. Music is loud but I enjoyed the energy it gives. I will be returning with friends!
