    Limited veggie options. There’s veggie platter on the menu but they don’t have it.

    Beautiful esthetics but the service went down hill once the server made a huge mistake on pricing. The manager was good but the servers reaction and attitude left much to be desired.

    Delicious dinner. Masitas de Puerco was fantastic. Rekindled memories of my childhood with my Tia making Sunday dinners. We will be back.

    We visited on Valentine's Day, but we did not know it was a special menu. Unfortunately, all our dishes were dry and overcooked. We only enjoyed the crab meat croquettes. For the price, it was truly a disappointment.

    Celebrated a birthday here and had a wonderful time. Great for a large group looking to have fun. The band was awesome, the food was great, the drinks were amazing, and the service was outstanding. Definitely a place to go if you love Latin Vibes!
