Incredible food and service!
My experience at this restaurant was amazing! The food was incredible, especially the grilled steak and shrimp with crispy plantains, and the Empanada. Both dishes were perfectly sized.
The server was so kind and helpful, taking the time to recommend these dishes. I definitely recommend checking this place out and trying their incredible food!

Good Takeaway, Skip the Taco
I had a takeaway experience. I ordered two panuchos: one carne asada and one chicken. Both were good.
The carne asada panucho was a little salty, but I didn't need to add salsa. I also ordered a side of beans, which were also good. Lastly, I ordered a carne asada taco.
The homemade corn tortilla was delicious, but I did not like the toppings on the taco. I would order from here again, but I would skip the taco.

Great Food and Vibes!
My experience at this family-run restaurant was very positive. The food was great, and I enjoyed the vibes. They have a television for entertainment, and I liked their menu.
I've been here many times, sometimes for quick fries and tacos on the go. When I want a full meal, I've had great experiences with their chicken dishes. It's a must-try if you're looking to explore new dishes!

Good Food, Small Portions, High Price
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food tasted really good, but unfortunately, the portion was so small. For the price I paid, I think it’s expensive.
I have bought the same for less in other places and with a reasonable portion of food. I had Pollo con tajadas and Carne Asada. If you see the pictures, you won’t even see the tajadas.

Delicious Panuchos and Friendly Service
I stopped in for lunch while I was in the area for jury duty and decided to give this place some love because they don't have many reviews. I ordered a panucho with carne asada and a baleada con chorizo, as panuchos are a favorite and I'd never tried baleadas before. Both dishes were delicious with a lot of flavor.
The hot sauce on the table had quite a kick and was the perfect complement to both dishes. The staff were very friendly and patient while I was trying to figure out what to order. They had two TVs with a soccer game on.
I would definitely go out of my way to go back.
