★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1This place is amazing!! I went in for Brunch and received great service from the second I walked in. (Thank you Ashley & Angelfor the awesome service!)The atmosphere, music and vibes are very relaxed and welcoming. Their food was delicious!!! Highly recommend it!
October 13 · LCposMy family and I came starving and hurting from an unexpected family emergency. Carlos was just the absolute kindest and most generous host. The food was great. All recommendations made by Carlos based on what we were feeling. Incredible. Will be back to try the drinks!
July 31 · Chloé NwangwuHappy hour isn’t so happy. Paid 9$ for their buffalo flautas which came with 1.5 of flautas. Also tried their steak empanadas which came with two very small empanadas cut of half’s for 9$. The happy hour margaritas are 2$ off, which makes their margaritas 13$. We did complain to the manager about their prices and we did get some type of discount on the dishes
July 27 · Taha MShowed up to this happy hour spot & whoever is running this happy hour menu should really visit their happy hour competitors. First off, 2 empanadas, cut in half and filled with potatoes and "carne" was $9.00- this isn't even a happy hour, this is straight robbery. An empanada doesn't even cost that much regular price. We also got an order of flautas and basically they cut their flautas into 3 pieces equaling 1 1/2 Flautas. What an embarrassment. It definitely displayed why their happy hour wasn't busy- I was irritated by the fact they tried to pull one over on their guests and spoke to their manager and he said their flautas were supposed to come with 2 whole ones.Basically this place seems to cut their food up to make it look like it's a lot but it's smaller portions.Service was terribly lacking, we asked for a straw, server never brought it, in addition, the server took forever to seat us.Spoke to the manager and explained to him the small portions and the fact that this wasnt a happy hour, especially when $2.00 is the cost of what's removed from a regular priced cocktail.The ambiance is nice here but aside from that, this place is not it.
July 25 · Sara-The food was good but when the bill came we were charged $24.00 for a cover charge. I was never informed of a cover charge plus the food is a little pricey. The place is Beautiful. The Salsa band was Excellent.
