    Came as a group of 10 for dinner on a Saturday night & the staff was very friendly & accommodating! The pitcher of mojitos (we got passion fruit) was flavorful & strong. The vaca frita & ropa vieja main dishes were delicious. The live music came on at 7:30pm & was entertaining. Seemed like everyone had a great time. Would definitely come back again!

    Great food, ambience and servers were kind and professional. They did not have enough waiters or waitresses on staff to handle the volume of customers.

    My family and I had a 3pm reservation. The restaurant itself was nice, vibrant colors, soft music, was seated immediately. The service was very good, staff was very friendly and attentive. The drinks were ok, a bit watered down, we had a few drinks on the rocks and it didn’t taste the way it’s supposed to. The food was decent, the let down was the marinera paella. Didn’t taste nor look like the traditional paella. Overall a fair/good experience.

    La comida fue con precio elevados y mi esposa y yo fuimos para esperar el año pensando que iba a ver música en vivo pero solo había un cantante con música de fondo grabada y de verdad pensábamos que iba a ver un grupo musical sino no hubiéramos ido ya que el gasto fue muy caro para dos personas lo único positivo fue el servicio

    Everything was horrible! The food tasted bad, the wait staff couldn’t be worse, the singer (not band as promised) sang terrible off key and the ambiance left a lot to be desired.
