We sat on the patio to enjoy our meal. And our waitress was very attentive and very quite knowledgeable about the menu. High recommended! I WILL be back! Thank you!!! ”

“ Awesome find. They weren't busy at all but wow was the food great. We had arroz con pollo (rice with chicken) with a side of maduros (sweet plantains) and pibil (pork) with yellow rice that came with a delicious soup/sauce. Plates were enormous and we left way too full with to-go boxes in hand. Very happy and will be back. Thank you! ”
