Nate Folkert: chef's steak with salsa and mashed sweet potatoes and avocados - low carb, high protein - $32
Village Voice: Try the Chef's Steak -it hits the table with an expertly charred crust, the interior marbled & juicy. Served with a smoky salsa verde and caramelized onion-spiked mashed sweet potatoes. Read more.

Gabriel Hayes: Really enjoyed the Chicharrones de Cerdo. Tender chunks of fried pork served with delicious boiled yuca and pickled red onions.
Christian: Pro tip: Since it's a Dominican restaurant, don't order the Cuban Sandwich or the friendly servers will judge you. The burger's great (and not Cuban).
Munira Ahmed: happy hour 4-7p includes $1 empanadas.. red sangria is tasty but strong!

Andrea Barrezueta: Such an amazing find. Great ambiance, creative menu that's very Latin, inventive but not 'trying too hard to be something else'. Menu changes daily based on ingredients. Staff is amazing. 5 stars!
E H: I had the burger (medium well) and it might have been the tastiest ground beef I have ever had! Try for yourself.
Laura Driscoll: Great food. Tasty drinks. Nice neighborhood spot. Good for groups or dates.

Jen Lindberg: Menu can be a little hit or miss but the perfect amount. The grilled carrots, the salmon and corn, and the red velvet cake (especially the cake) were absolutely amazing and make it worth it.
Rei Wang: Came to try the Foie Gras Al Pastor but was absolutely blown away by the Grilled Carrots Elote. Inventive and delicious.
Serious Eats: While the long menu is a little hit-or-miss, the good dishes on this loosely Mexican menu -- like the "fricco-dilla" and Thai esquites -- are superb. Wine and agave spirits to drink.
