unfortunately, I got my cash stolen outside of this places restroom.Despite them having clear footage of the person who obtained my wallet and cash. They chose to take no action. The manager in-fact told me he was “Super late” to whatever it was he had to do after work. Personally made me feel like if I burdened him.Super unfortunate. I thanked them for checking the cameras and went on with my night.(I came an hour before closing).

Service is A1 the food is amazing and the vibes even better. Come enjoy amazing Latin cuisine while vibing out to Latin cultural music. The cultural atmosphere and diversity is amazing.Parking: Remember this is a busy street with a lot of cops. Parking can be very difficult but they do offer valet. Side streets can be a better optionKid-friendliness: It’s a family restaurant kids are welcome and this restaurant usually caters to family events so the vibe is always lit.

Food was okay but portions were small. They only let you pick one side with lunch specials. Service was slow even-though very little people inside the restaurant. Staff not friendly or accommodating. It’s a shame.

Don't be fooled by the location. Food was sooooo bad and the place doesn't practice cleanliness(be aware).The rice with black beans tasted like Uncle Ben's boxed rice. My garlic chicken(Pollo a la hillo) had no flavor. Just oily garlic over hard chicken breasts. The yuca didn't taste or look like typical Cuban style yucca. The food was just really REALLY BAD! The waiters didn't check up on us and forgot to bring the MOJO that was suppose to come with one of the entrees. ALSO, one of my attendees' ordered a ceviche appetizer, AND ON THE PLATE THERE WAS A PIECE OF PINK CHEWED UP GUM ON THE EDGE OF THE PLATE!!!! THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE ON SO MANY LEVELS!! DISGUSTING!!! THIS RESTAURANT DOES NOT PRACTICE CLEANLINESS ON TOP OF THE CRAP TASTING FOOD!!! Do better.
