We were seated in bar area, very noisy. Out waitress was great, didn’t rush us. The steak was more rare than medium rare, as ordered, but still good. Overall an enjoyable evening

The food at Cibus Dos is always so good. We often get it as take out, but nothing beats the freshness of having it on site. Everything was delicious. We had the arepitas and empanadas to start and both were flavorful and rich. We tried the arroz con pollo for the first time and were not disappointed. It was full of shredded chicken and veggies and incredibly filling. Cocktails were also a delight. Can't wait to get a chance to go back!
