I came here with my husband because friends recommended it. We loved the ambiance and were seated immediately. The menu had a few items we weren’t familiar with, and the waitress helped us out. We ordered cassava fries with mojo ketchup as a starter, which wasn’t seasoned very well on its own but paired nicely with the sauce. I ordered a mojito to go with lunch. It was flavorful but there was such an overabundance of mint that I felt like I had to sip carefully, or I’d end up with a mouth full of mint. For lunch, we ordered Mama’s Latin Fried Chicken with Mango Chile Sauce. It was a nice level of spice, that was both flavorful and just on the cusp of being too spicy for my tastes. Husband lo...
Nice, low key restaurant with Caribbean flair. Tasty Cuban favorite of ropa vieja and empanadas is what we had and a red sangria. Ropa vieja very flavorful. Empanadas had delicious crust. Beef was a lil sweet which was a lil strange for my taste. Service was not good. They were nice but server mentioned rice and beans would go good with dish but never brought it after I agreed to have it. Later found there was a charge for rice and beans. Fine if I would’ve known. Never get service after food was brought. Seemed like they were ready to go home(arrived 1.5 hours before closing). Will give it one more try earlier in the day to see if service might be better.
Ok. So great food and service. Also, nice atmosphere. But the music was a radio station, Big FM, complete with noisy ads. Oh hell no. Come on guys. That is so chaotic. Why not play Caribbean. Or bistro style such as Gipsy Kings or whatever. Perhaps stringed instrumentals? Very surprised about this. But again, great food and service.
The food was incredibly delicious. Definitely a must try restaurants. Great staff, great atmosphere, and delicious food.
