Here, the service was on par with the quality of the food. I tried Alpaca for the first time and now I can't get enough of the chicken. I’m really happy that I ordered it. Before I leave town, I'll need to get it again. The salad was tasty and more than enough food.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The people here are friendly and attentive! The chicken is delicious and seasoned well! The rice is kind of bland and the state of my salad was dismal. Very brown and slimy. For $30 for a single meal, not impressed or worth the money. If you come here stick with the chicken!

Overall, I was not impressed. A group of us met here for a birthday lunch. We came at 1pm so getting a table wasn't an issue. Be aware that there isn't much parking directly in front of the restaurant; you might need to park in the spaces near the street entrance. Everyone but me had chicken and they got a sizable portion that everyone seemed to enjoy. I got the "vegetarian plate", which consisted of 3 sides. What I didn't realize is that if you want maduros or yucca, there is an extra charge. So I paid $17 for a small scoop of rice with black beans, maduros, yucca, and a fountain drink. I posted a picture of the meal. IMO this was too expensive. The food line moved quickly, but dining room service was dismal. No knives or spoons and very few forks. Twice I asked workers for forks and they had an unhelpful attitude. The dining area has high ceilings without any sort of sound damping. It was very difficult for us to converse.
