The prices were definitely a little high. The place itself was alright, nothing particularly special. However, the empanadas were quite disappointing; they were incredibly thin, and there was a very small amount of both meat and vegetables inside, with the dough making up the majority of the filling. The steak plates, on the other hand, had a lot of nerve! The flavor of both the empanadas and the steak plates was okay overall.

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.

Great place for enjoying live music with friends and family. This is the second time we dined here. It was a Wednesday night when the 4 of us had dinner here, live music is on the weekends so the vibe that evening was a bit subdued but we had a great time. We ordered: - Ceviche de camaron y mango (6/10): The mango salsa is quite sweet, wish more acidic. - Lomo Saltado (7/10): good - Sangria Roja (6/10): too sweet for my taste, not fruity - Mofongo Roasted Pork (6/10): luke warm, rather bland - Lechon Asado (8/10): quite tasty and flavorful

From the service to the food, everything was delightful. Greeted with a warm smile Ordered the yucca cheese balls, which were chewy and cheesy with the green sauce, so good. Ordered the chicken plate, which was tender rice & beans cooked perfectly With thier house sauce The rice pudding for dessert had the right amount of cinnamon and wasn't overly sweet
