    Outstanding across the board. The food journey across Latin America was so creative and every dish was spectacular, we couldn’t choose a favorite.

    The diversity of flavors and quality of food was exceptional. We were a table of 8 and the experience was managed beautifully with lots of Costa Rican personality. You can tell the staff enjoy working here. Highly recommend.

    Our server Christian was really great! He was friendly, attentive and gave us recommendations for different tapas to order (skirt steak, jerk chicken, Costa Rican chicken dish). We first dined there on Tuesday and he encouraged us to return on Thursday for the live Latin music. We returned and thoroughly enjoyed the live entertainment! We danced there after dinner. On Thursday, we had the Venezuelan arepas, Costa Rican ceviche, Colombian patacon pisao! All three dishes were amazing! Our female server on Thursday was also amazing!

    This restaurant has got the magic! Great service - interesting & varied menu, wonderful ambience and they deliver excellent food to your table. All of this at what we consider a reasonable price. It’s our favorite of 4 restaurants on the Andaz resort property.

    Service was great. Location was nice, concept is cool. However, unfortunately food was pretty terrible from a quality and execution standpoint. Could be ok for drinks but would not recommend for dinner.
