They recently added chilaquiles + eggs + steak (& bloody Mary) = pure heaven!

Great bang for buck brunch, Pre-fixe and worth every cent. The steak and egg, yuka fries and sweet plantains are highly recommended.

Make sure everyone in your party arrives at the same time, otherwise you get a side of sass and nowhere to park your rear until all are near.

Delicious drinks and tapas! I love their Yuca Fries.

You can't go wrong with huevos rancheros. So good! They only seat complete parties.
Santi AmayaJune 7, 2015
The food is great, the drinks are strong. Normally food is expensive so come on Tuesday nights when tapas are half off!

It's not Spanish but Mexican tapas. Still really delicious but kind of pricy for the neighborhood

My favorite spot to meet with my friends. Sangrias are deliciously deathly.

Happy hour on Tuesdays - half price tapas! We recommend the Platano Relleno, wash it down with their tasty sangria.

Rowdy happy hour (inexpensive drinks 'till 8pm most nights) with a side of sweet plantains.

Great margaritas, and the salmon tropical salad is the bomb!

The espresso BBQ ribs were beyond amazing! It's been a few days and I'm still thinking about them
Michelle CJune 4, 2016
We couldn't order any food until 5:30. The garlic mashed potatoes were peppery and barely edible, while the grilled veggies were delicious. My friend was underwhelmed by his ceviche.

Empanadas were excellent.

The best Sangria around. Grab a date, order a pitcher, enjoy.
Katie RyanSeptember 4, 2013
The food was good, we couldn't enjoy with no AC the place was so hot. We had ppl around us sweating and leaving. We'll be back in the winter.

Carnitas plate. It really is for 3 people, not 2. It is so amazing and comes with everything you could ever want with meat meat and more meat!!!!!
Sharon ChenJune 21, 2009
Go on Tuesday and 1/2 priced tapas and drinks! I recommended the caipirinha. Or go on any other day to get 3 sample tasting of their ceviche! It's worth totally worth it!

Arepas are a must for brunch! Watch the cash counting when checking out :-/ It is more poor communication than cheating, so be clear!!

BethSeptember 26, 2012
Queso cheese dip is great. Leblon caipirinhas are the cocktail of choice!

If you linger long enough at the outside tables then they'll lure you away with free booze

Top notch huevos rancheros meets rich frozen margaritas...! Good.

Great food but not exceptional. The music is however great

Love Yuca...but way too loud during dinner on a weekend to have conversation.
DoubleDeuceJuly 2, 2016
Was highly disappointed that with 15 open tables, they wouldn't sit me while waiting for the 2nd person in my party. So I left. But have been here otherwise. Meh, it's okay. Outside seating is nice.
