    The outdoor patio was awesome. Food was amazing, even the chicken fingers and French fries from the kids menu was an huge hit, it was served in a little cardboard car! Our server was fantastic. We will definitely come back every time we’re in town!

    Reserved the porch but they closed it for weather? So spent quite a few trips walking back and forth through the restaurant until they figured out a table. Once seated, the restaurant was LOUD. We’ve eaten there a few times before but have never been seated inside. We’ll probably pass on this spot in the future.

    Not only great food, but a great experience! Josh, our server, was awesome and provided some great suggestions. For starters we had the Empanadas and Croquettas both fantastic. The Imperial Rice dish and the Ropa Vieja were especially good entrees. Either could be shared. No dessert though…too full!
