Nissi CJanuary 29, 2017Classy but breakfast is best delicious affordable and great atmosphere downtown feel the Spanish food is delicious don't let the name fool you. Cute bar also and great service.
Vickie FreemanAugust 23, 2013Food was delicious. I had the pork chop with monfongo and salad...The bread they serve is warm and delicious. Only problem was when it was time to leave I had to ask for my check otherwise good.
Someone said you are shit out of luck if you are black and come here. I come here all the time and never have a problem, the staff knows me & is great I think you just need to learn to talk to people.
If you looking for latin cuisine, this is the place to be for their lunch combo to their dinner course. Best place to be in the area.
Erika NewsomeMay 9, 2013So true about the service for non-Spanish!! If you don't know Spanish & don't want to play charades, tell them you don't speak Spanish when you are seated or it will take awhile before you get food!!- Barbie PérezOctober 22, 2012Great food, awesome coffee and great service! Don't know if I'm lucky but everytime I come I get good service and I'm not from here so I don't come often!
Rachel B.February 2, 2014I come here often. As part of a family of 3, received a bill w/ an included gratuity which is NOT indicated on the menu...be forewarned they will tack on a gratuity when the check exceeds $60.00
Champiñones rellenos portobello gratin stuffed with shrimp they are the best- Ox tails are delicious, steak sandwiches the bomb overall the food is great
OneidaSeptember 18, 2010The tostones are perfect - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Try with the delicious chicharrones de pollo (with the bones). Yum!
Lyah EncarnacionApril 23, 2012Really great food, they have to do something about the service. Spanish or not just horrible wait staff Muy mal servicio, Muy buena comida.
TariJanuary 12, 2014The red snapper is like a month old! It's the most disgusting thing ever....actually all of the food is pretty shitty. I've been here three times, I'm over it!
Cara RochaJune 3, 2018The waitress was rude and useless. Somehow we paid $25 for $15 worth of food according to the menu... Uh plus my eggs were crunchy. French toast was good though 🤷♀️
- Apple TreeApril 19, 2012While the food is good their service sucks. As one person said, if u don't speak spanish you're shot out of luck. They're always messing up!
Iris Santa-CabreraMay 6, 2012How the waitress said it was 5 of us when we only had 4 people just to charge 15% gratuity??? She thought she was fuckin slick. No u stupid!!! Worst service ever!!! I'll deliver next time ✌
Mary GarrettJuly 27, 2011Worst service ever! I go back every 6 months to check if they have changed the waitstaff. No luck yet. Only get take out and check that they gave you the right food before you leave.
Calvert TaylorFebruary 6, 2012service sucks! if your not spanish then your shit out of luck ... if ya black, good luck !
Marcelle CruzAugust 1, 2021La comida es excelente! Pedí un churrasco con tostones exquisito! Y mi pareja pidió un salmón con papas, buenísimo!
Carlos Juan GomezJune 23, 2015Todo arroz con chivo es lo que mas me gusta chicharrón de pollo y pechuga ala plancha
