We found this restaurant on yelp and decided to try something different. The food especially the ceviche was very tasty. The portions were decent size except for the beef appetizer. We were not sure what to expect. It turned out to be just two skewers of beef. The service was lacking. There appeared to be a language barrier between us and the waiter. We had to ask numberous times for water and our check. Even though the restaurant was not crowded it took a while for the food to come out. All in all it was an average dining experience. I'm not sure that I would go back, but glad I did try it out.

I was very disappointed on Valentine’s Day. The restaurant was too brightly lit and excessively loud, and most of the staff didn’t speak any English. The menu had a wide selection of seafood, but we ordered a mixed seafood stew that was completely tasteless and unremarkable. The ceviche appetizer was good, but we requested it to be mild, and it ended up almost too spicy to enjoy. The contrast between the flavorful appetizer and the bland main dish was striking. We definitely won't be returning. Ugh.
My dining companion and I decided to try the vegan roasted rice and paella dishes. Both dishes consisted of rice and vegetables with different sauces. I'm typically not a fan of rice dishes, but the plentiful vegetables were cooked perfectly. The sauces added great flavor to the rice and overall, the dishes were very tasty.
Delicious vegan options at this place!! I’ve had the vegetable Paella and the veggie lomo saltado with quinoa instead of rice and it even had tofu!! They are clearly marked with a (v) but you can ask also if other items can be made vegan. The maracuya drink and cola are delicious too! Never fails to impress! Book a table now
