    What a pleasant surprise! This is a small unassuming store front that is an absolute treasure. The menu is broad enough to accommodate any diner and really delicious! The hostess is the server and bus person. I had the oxtail entree and it was tender with a wonderful sauce, rice and beans. Skip the beans, put the rice in the sauce and love it! The calamari appetizer was tender and spicy. The guava dulce con Leche was very sweet. Portions were ample and the price was fair. I'll be back!!

    Went for New Years Eve dinner. 1st, it was a fixed price menu that was not advertised online when making the reservation. 2nd, they were busy and only had 2 girls working the front counter and dining area. 1 of the girls was busy handling take out orders, which left the 1 girl to serve a full dining room. We waited over an hour for appetizers, another 56 min for the main entrees and took our desserts to go as we didn't want to wait anymore. It seemed like the kitchen was prioritizing pick-up orders vs their dinning guest. I have visited this restaurant numerous times and their food is always great, the girls provide good service and on this day were trying their best. Management failed their workers and guest on this day due to a lack of staffing, prioritizing, and planning.
