Where do I begin?Please see my full review on yelp.PROS - cute placeCONS - The heat was not working. At least 3 (out of 8) food orders were incorrect. They charge a $20 corkage fee. The owner was disrespectful. The dishes were served at room temperature and sub-par.Conclusion - An atrocious experience.

This place was super cute! The music was good. It BYOB. Now I had a few concerns. I wasn’t sure what to expect when getting there. I made a reservation online and when I went to modify it, it does not give you the option. So I attempted to call the restaurant and no one answered. I figured because of the time they were closed still. So i proceeded to make a new one and it was rejected. I attempted to call again and yet no answer. We were a party of 8 and I did not want to get there and no seating available. Finally I went through the chat and someone reached out to me. When we arrived the place was empty which that was okay w me it was a Wednesday night. Street parking available and I believe parking in the rear as well. The server was super nice. I didn’t really like how the menu was setup online. As far as drinks we got water and a pitcher of strawberry juice (they were out of passion fruit) juice was like a syrup didn’t like it.Now for the food, I assumed it would be authentic Puerto Rican food and a kick of other Latin dishes for the “fusion”. Being Puerto Rican myself I was disappointed. The garlic shrimp(5) were smothered in oil w garlic and very salty came w two pieces of bread. The ceviche was good had a spicy kick to it comes w chips. The sampler appetizer empanadillas were not good I only liked the guava and cheese. I would say feeds about 2 or 3. As for the entrees, the arroz con gandules was NOT arroz con gandules, that’s what I was most disappointed about it didn’t not look or taste like it at all. I had the mussels and shrimp the sauce was really good, shrimps again were salty. The salmon was good, it just lacked flavored once you bite into it. The pernil was good, my mother enjoyed and said she would have it again. And the picada was pretty big. The tostones were good had the right amount of salt and were huge the Maduros were super soft and sweet and chunky. The mash potato was my favorite, the garlic flavor was perfection.

Not sure where to start. This place was the worst meal I have ever had at a restaurant. I went on a Friday night and the hostess was wearing booty shorts and a crop top. So I was unsure if the place turned into a lounge at night. They made a big deal about not having a reservation, but they only had 2 tables occupied at 830pm. The waitress was trying really hard to be as helpful, but it was obvious she was new so I am not holding her responsibility for my experience. Everything we order was out that day. We ended up having the shrimp ceviche which was good, but it was cooked?????? Also took an hour to come out. For dinner I ended up ordering the skirt steak and when I say it was charred I could taste the burn grill on the steak. What made this worst was the fact that they served it with the burn side down like I was not going taste the char burn steak. I could not eat it. The fish we order was so bland. I ended up going home and warming up left over. They also made the music louder and louder to the point you could not hear yourself think. They also served the table next to us something she advised she was allergic to and the lady started having a reaction. Just an awful experience overall.

This place is great with accessible parking all around. I set a reservation and paid $75 to get a section which actually is subttracted from the final bill. It's BYOB and there was a $10 cover charge at the door. Music is loud and gives you a club atmosphere, so this isn't a place for a first date if your trying to talk to each other. There are plenty of food options which looked and tasted like they actually cooked and prepared it, not just thrown in the microwave. Now the only cons that I encountered while I was there were the bathroom situation and the speed of service. The waitresses are gorgeous, but I think that's on purpose, so I have something to look at while I wait forever for the hookah or food I ordered ?. And for all the people that are in there they have one single person bathroom for men and another for women. So if you have to go to the bathroom prepare to hold it for a while. Overall experience was satisfactory and I would say this is a place I'd go back to.

Love their food. Super disappointed with the service though. Ordered on doordash, was missing the rice to my rice and beans and when I called to have it rectified, was told that I could come pick it up or get a credit on Doordash instead of trying to rectify the issue and deliver my missing item. Will probably never order delivery from them again, unfortunately bc their food is really good. I understand mistakes happen, but definitely think this could have been handled differently.Update: Received a call back from the owner and they will be dropping off the missing item.

Relaxed and fun vibe had by all as you can see..Apparently they also do paint and sip.. Soooooooooooooooo get your skillz up and and bring your date.. Music was at a very nice volume with patrons bouncing to the beat as they try to play Jenga (jigsaw ?)

I used to love this place pre-pandemic! Unfortunately they linked up with promoters and the place has gone down hill. It used to be a classy, good vibe spot now it's a crowded over-priced lounge full of teenagers.

My girlfriend and I went here to check out the place as I wanted to celebrate my 32nd birthday here. It was early in the evening (7:30pm) so the fact it wasn’t jam packed was understandable and not an issue. Waitress sat us down. It’s BYOB so we brought a bottle of wine. Ice bucket and glasses were given. We ordered the sampler plate in which they didn’t have the relleno de papa. My girlfriend tried to order 2 different plates off the menu and none of them were available (boricua plate and the guava bbq ribs). She settled for something else. We kept drinking and enjoying the music they had playing off of a play list. Food arrived and looked good visually. The rice was not traditional rice , it was simply rice from a box. My steak that I ordered medium was almost well done. My girlfriend’s veggies were frozen veggies that were over cooked. Rice also tastes to be from the box. A shame the food wasn’t good at all being that they look absolutely delicious on the menu. Good spot as ambiance goes but will not be returning for dinner again or celebrating my 32nd birthday here.
