This place is overrated!!!!!!If I could leave a zero I would!!!!! Horrible place to eat at food takes forever to get to your table, & when it finally does it’s cold and bland and no flavor and over priced for food that tastes like it came straight out of the microwave oven on 30 seconds. Only thing good I will say is the music and it’s beautiful inside other than that the food sucks!!!!! Tasted like Walmart chicken nuggets frozen and thrown in the microwave…. Soggy fries. Just everything was bad only the drink was good!!!!!! Smh Worse place I’ve eaten in the last 4 years!!!!! Them cooks need to learn how to cook!!!!! And they need some Dominicans back there cooking that rice…btw the rice tasted like uncle Ben’s packaged rice!!!!! That’s not no real rice that’s packaged!!!!!!!!!

The food is excellent. The staff is nice. The location is in close proximity and that’s convenient. However, they are not open a few days during the week and open late. The last time I went in, it was so cold they were using space heaters go warm up the area I was sitting in, and I could barely enjoy my meal. There were only 2 people in there including myself and the other table complained because it was taking longer for them to get their food (and they were right).I hope more Latin restaurants open here to help this restaurant step up their game. It’s really unfortunate for such great food to be ruined by service and hours of operation.

I live in Mooresville and I like to support local businesses’. As I drove up to this location, three employees were at the dumpster area and saw us park. I didn’t think much of it until I went inside and the place was completely empty (4:50pm). No one (did not see not one person anywhere not even in the kitchen) made effort to come and greet us. I guess they did not want our business. As we were getting back into our car the employees by the dumpsters waved goodbye at us with a smile. I guess we dodged a bullet.

My wife and I shared 4 appetizers. We had the Alitas de Pollo, Empanadas Dominicanas, Gambas en salsa de coco, and Portobello. They were very good size portions and the food was excellent. Really some of the best food I have had in Mooresville. Service was also excellent. Highly recommend.

I will be honest, I have to say that from my trip to North Carolina, what I loved the most was this restaurant. The atmosphere is excellent and the attention from the owners I have no way to describe, they are super friendly, the chef has excellent hands, his dishes are from another world, the bartender has drink combinations that are of another level, I have to highlight that they have full parking for your vehicles. If you go to North Carolina you have to make that stop by default, I recommend this place with my eyes closed.
I recently visit some friends in the area and they took me to this restaurant. It is a hiden gem. Hidden because is not something you see from the road, you need to absoluty know that the place is here to find it. And a gem because everything we tried was AMAZING!We were a party of 7; so everyone ordered something different so we could share.The tacos, ceviche de chicharron and mofongo appetizers were delicious.For main couse we ordered oxtail, paella, lomo saltado, mar y tierra and 2 of the chef special of the day (rissotto with lamb and mash potatoe with bbq ribs)My favorite was the Chef special! (black beans risotto and lamb ribs with truffle) it was the best risotto I ever had. The touch of the sweet plantain hit the spot perfectly ??Cocktails we had were really good.The cherry on the top was there amazing desserts! WOW, best creme brulee, chocolate cheesecake and quesillo i ever had. Flavors and texture were amazing.Cant wait to come back and try other dishes. It really reminds me of our Dominican food but in a high cuisine.

A server makes or breaks a restaurant experience. The comida doesn't even have to be th best if the server is good. The lady we had was terrible from the start. She had some kind of attitude for no reason. Anyway my wife got the steak with some kind of gravy, which took 30 min. to get. She had me try it after she said it was super salty. It tasted like a hungry man salisbury steak + more salt. We politely asked the server if we could get something else. Ended up getting the chicken pasta, which was good, it just took 40 minutes to get... The server didn't even say sorry or anything... like I said the pasta was decent, but the server ruined the night for us. Management was standing near the door when we were leaving, and didn't even say buenos noches or anything. Won't ever go back.

That place is super sketchy. Owners don't care about the building or even what happens there. Whole building is deteriorating and falling apart. But between the guy that overdosed and DIED in the back and all the trash outside because of the homeless camp that's literally in the woods next to the parking lot, I would not recommend this place at all...

THIS IS A ABUSE.THEY DONT PAY THEY EMPLOYEES !!

I gave this place a few tries. A group of friends and I reserved a table for six and they gave us a table that only fit 4 and it took a while for the server to figure out we needed a bigger table. The last three times I’ve place an order it took over the 30 minutes suggested for the food to be ready. Needless to say they do not honor the lunch prices saying they only do them during the week and during the week they open at 3pm? The last order I got I ordered beans and they legit gave me bean soup… I highly suggest not taking your business here. They seem to not be very busy when I stop by and I can see why. The service is horrible… Also they seem to be out of so many menu items all the time? And if they need to replace it they go with a suggestion of their choice and not yours… Last but not least the prices are kind of high for what you’re getting.
