Get the fried platanos maduros. One plate is good for 2 people. The chicken paillard is also epic.

The other tips are right. The sangria is delicious! And dangerous!

The back bar smells like a frat house - sweaty people and stale beer.
Catherine ScholzJanuary 22, 2020
Sangria and the mushrooms app!
Alex WhittemoreJanuary 14, 2010
The jerk chicken is not overwhelming, and they do a good job of making you feel unwelcome while you wait. The plantains are almost worth it, though.
IvotikDecember 28, 2012
Fried platanos with beans great dish!!!

The muscles are basically all shell. Not really worth it other than to dip your bread into the broth!
Stephanie EscobarOctober 19, 2022
