Ordered one of the specials (be mine bowl) and it came without avocado and the pork was super fatty, chewy and gross. Disappointed and will not be ordering from here again

I always stop by here when I’m visiting my son; the food is very good, but the coffee is EXCELLENT! I would put warmer color temp bulbs in the light fixtures.

Incredible food. I get the Venezuelan Benedict and a side of tostones almost every time I stop by. It never disappoints! Birria tacos are also amazing.

Great arepas. Great dishes. The pastries are also very good. For what it is this place is super pricey. $53 for two meals and a pastry

Have ordered from here multiple times throughout the pandemic but finally got to visit in person. Cute cafe vibe rather than a restaurant! My coffee was good. For food, I highly recommend the arepas (like with sweet plantains), cachapa con queso (which has the best cheese and sweet corn flavor like I cannot explain how freakin good it is), and yucca fries with the dip.It's a lil cramped inside and so we had to wait a bit after ordering for a regular table to clear, although they do have a bar-like seating too.

Great spot for breakfast/lunch, warm beverages, and pastries. The breakfast empanadas were delicious and my torta was spot on. The hot chocolate was a little small but very tasty. We ordered a muffin and a pastry to-go so we could enjoy more later!

Delicious food (if they got peach muffins, make sure you get them before they're gone) and great drinks (horchata is my go to)! Haven't had a bad experience after all these years!

My daughter and I went for lunch. Love the vibe inside, very cute and cozy. Would love to come back and sit at the round table in the front corner. I had the Sloppy Torta and my daughter got the Cuban Torta. Both were excellent and huge. We had enough to bring home for another lunch. The yucca fries and the green sauce were amazing Highly recommend!

I just left there 12/29 at 130. The owner/manager female was taking photos of pictures I assume for a website. I came in on my 30 minute break for soup. Had to leave half my order because the soup took thirty minutes and the smoothie still wasn't done...rude. Don't go here if you're on your lunch break.

I grew up in the boarder region, so am very familiar with Latin and and Mexican food, and I was VERY hesitant to try this spot in Melrose, MA of all places. But it is very very good. Breakfast tacos and burrito are very tasty and perfectly sized. Will come back no doubt. Highly recommend!
