So I found this place through TikTok and celebrated my birthday there the place is BEAUTIFUL very chill laid back but got some cute aesthetics to it, Food was delicious very flavorful. The only bad thing was the waiter we had she was knew (which we found out after) we placed our order and asked to make a substitution and after telling her 3 times she still got it wrong and was going to charge for a second order instead of fixing it or saying something to us. We had to ask for some ones help another waiter which this was all done respectfully and they also had took our appetizers off the table once they brought our food out not asking if we was done but through it all after explaining to the young man (I believe the manager) he was able to accommodate us fix our bill and told us about the bar they have next door and invited us to come again. We did apologize to the lady if we made her feel bad for not understanding and all was ok after DEFINITELY WILL BE RETURNING probably more comfortable attire

I booked a reservation dinner for my birthday and had put the special occasion as my birthday as well. We had arrived a bit late but they accommodated so we were able to be seated right next to the live music. When the waitress came she asked if we would like sparkling or tap water. I informed her that we would like water to which we never recieved until after we ordered our official drinks about ten minutes later. Saturdays in any restaurant are quite busy but by coincidence there was a bunch of birthday dinners happening around the same time as mine. Every dinner table that had a birthday got a desert with a sparkler in the center, a bubble gun and a song at the end of their check. I was excited for my turn since we had went on my actual birthday. I first order appetizers I wanted to come out first and then our main courses. The appetizers and food came out at the same time to which we didn’t mind since they were small portions. Since I had drunken my drink so quickly I asked the waitress for a refill as my cousin asked for ketchup for her fries. Over an half hour went by as I waited for my drink and my cousin waited on her condiment. Once my waitress returned she brought a water pitcher to refill our water. My cousin reminded her of the condiment and I followed with a check in on the status of my drink. She then returned with the ketchup and she then asked what flavor Virgin margarita did I want. Around 11 pm(another 20 min) the live band had left and the tables around us started to clear. A waiter who wasn’t our waitress came over and brought a to go box since I had asked for it in the last interaction with our waitress. My refill that I had ordered was then given after beginning to pack up.My cousins then left to the bathroom and the check was then brought: we were first given the wrong check and I had called her over for a new one. When she passed me the check I asked her if we were free to go wondering if she remembered that I had told her it was my birthday in the beginning along with my name. She then responded “just sign and tip” I was flabbergasted at the response I had recieved and disappointed. Throughout the gaps of interaction I felt our waitress had completely forgot about our table as I saw move around to every table around us and be apart of most of the birthday songs. Due to me being embarrassed I cried and asked my cousin to ask her for the manager. She came over and asked why I wanted to talk to someone as I dabbed my eyes from crying. She then said she apologized for forgetting and said the desert would be on the restaurant and provided me desert options for the sing along. Instead of giving me the opportunity to share my concerns, I was bombarded with last minute birthday celebration. The waitress then asked if we would like water she stated she would get us water anyway and then left. Although I am grateful I recommend not coming here if you have expectations of superior service especially in a timely manner.

Food, service and atmosphere were all superb! If you dine here you won't only get a great meal but you'll have a whole experience! I love how the whole staff work as a team! The owner even took time to make sure everything was ??. I drove from 45 min away on a rainy night and this was well worth it. I'll definitely be back.

Made a reservation for a 7pm meal. Arrived 3 minutes early and the host argued with another host as to where to place us in spanish. Once sent to the table we waited 20 minutes and no one came over to even get us water. We decided to get up and leave and not one employee said a word to us. Highly disappointed with the experience and hope this isn't a proper reflection of the restaurant.

If you're looking for a nice date spot that's open late then come hereIf you're looking for great latin food with nice ambiance and service then come hereIf you're looking for a lounge with a band on Friday and Saturday then come hereAMBIANCE:Very aesthetic and cute on the inside with a cozy feel.SERVICE:Jennifer was top notch. She catered beautifully to us and she was very helpful in picking everything outGRUB:Fish tacos SLAPPEDEmpanada also SLAPPEDGot the salmon and shrimp with onions and peppers, not as impressive and I regret not getting the Portuguese seafood special. Maduros + yuca fries on the dish paired wellThe beans and rice on the dish was done perfectly and had the right consistency.Red snapper 10/10Red snapper with the onions and peppers had so much flavorThe coconut rice was also amazing with a sweetness that compliment the red snapper.

The food was great, the staff was friendly (but one staff person was taking my photo without asking. The ambiance was good. The service was really, really slow , it took us two hours in total to eat & leave & it was due to the service.

Food was great, place is great, but service needs to be worked on… the orders do not come out all together, they’re scattered when they bring out the food, and the empanadas are labeled to know what fillings in which, but they were labeled wrong with the wrong filling…. Not sure, but for a busy big place service is screaming
