    Food was out of this world good. Those beef empanadas are awesome. Recommend the lomo with white rice/red bean combo. Heaven on a plate. Service was great everyone was very attentive despite it being a busy Friday night in Cambridge. Loud atmosphere, but that was part of the ambiance - loved the music and vibe!
