Adore this place. Bring your vino or stop at Wine Chateau. Food is authentic, straight to the point, and the owner Nick makes you feel at home. Great vibe, live music - love it. Def an amazing time!
Patrick FlanaganJuly 19, 2014I enjoyed it. The only down side is they are a little slow, but they are very friendly and after all is said and done the food is tasty and it's a very relaxing place
George ChedidMarch 25, 2012Everything about this restaurant is unbelievable. If you are with a big party, make sure you sample everything on the menu. Everything is amazing!
I absolutely love this place! It's bring your own, so bring a bottle of red or white ask your server to make you some Sangria!! The ambiance is great and the staff will give you VIP treatment. Nick B

Vanina GimenezAugust 24, 2011Great food, but never go when in a hurry, wait staff are pretty slow and laid back. otherwise, good experience. Oh, call ahead for reservations!- Jennifer FongMay 31, 2010Get the black bean and plantain tostones appetizer. Best thing they serve! Also, the chicken in mojo sauce with coconut rice is awesome.
AnaMaria Jimenez-LopezMarch 23, 2013Aside from the owner yelling over to a table, "f$&@ you" and yelling for them to hit on a table of "hot" chicks, food was delish.
Georgia CastilloDecember 2, 2010LOVE the garlic/sun dried tomato oil that you dip the bread in! Get the red velvet tres leches for dessert!- AnaMaria Jimenez-LopezMarch 23, 2013Black bean soup rivals some good ole homecoming, careful the spoon falls into the bowl!
- AnaMaria Jimenez-LopezMay 3, 2013For those true latin food lovers, empanadillas are not even close to a version of empanadas, it's more like a puff pastry which unfortunately does not come close... Service always a pleasure!
Rich CaposinoMay 16, 2011Great food, unique dining experience, really great prices. Bring your own too!
WendyAugust 24, 2014Food was ok, rather pricey for what you get, but it's good for groups and has an outdoor seating area with a fire pit!- Nicole TerebeckiNovember 12, 2011This place is BYOB. If you bring a bottle of wine, they'll make you sangria.
- highly recommended, the food is ridiculously delicious. tell the owner nick i sent you :)
- the owner is a very good friend of mine and he will make you feel right at home!
FranciscoAugust 29, 2014The server was nice, but the food was thoroughly mediocre, and far from being authentically Latin.
