Kayla Gail: A wonderful family restaurant. Large portions, delicious food, fantastic prices! Chicken and steak had excellent flavors. Staff very friendly. Best plantains in the area!
Gabriela Schneider: Really wanted to like this place, but soggy tostones (!) and indifferent service will keep me away. PS you can be slammed and still be civil. Too bad, the black beans were amazing
Mingbot Roberts: Delicious vaca frita, empanadas, and tostones, plus it's all at a great price.
