This place was absolutely delicious! We ordered the sampler which had all the main dishes on it and it was a mouth-gasm! Lol... ...all the other dishes my 5 other friends ordered looked amazing and all of them were raving about how good it was! We alsoordered the pitcher of Mojito and I had a lavender margarita...the Marg was absolutely delicious never had a lavender margbefore and it was perfect! The mojito was the best I've had too. The only reason this rating lost 3 stars was because our serverwho was very nice in the beginning, unfortunately was not attentive to our table. We were there at around 1pm on Sunday andthere was only one other table with 4 people in the whole establishment and the young lady took our order dropped our food andfirst round of drinks and never came back! We had to motion her over TWICE to bring water refills and she obviously was annoyedand ended up just leaving the pitcher of water at the table. One of the times my husband actually had to stand up and walkhalfway over to her to get her attention. I had to again motion her over so I could order another Marg. The whole time she wassitting down at a table talking with what I guess was another staff member. Then we get the check and there was an added servicecharge of 20% which was a $55 tip! We were a table of 6, so usually I would be totally OK with this, but when you are an awfulserver and I have to motion you over multiple times and you are not slammed in a packed restaurant there is absolutely no excuseto be unattentive and not do your job! It's very frustrating to force a customer to give someone a $55 tip who didn't earn it. Ihope the manager or owner sees this and addresses it with the lady server who was working on Oct. 9th around 1pm. Thanks! Read more

I came here on Sunday. I received great customer service. Ordered the Papas Bravas, they were delicious! For drinks I had the... lavender margarita, I really enjoyed that. I ordered the pitcher of mojitos, it was very bitter, not sweet, had a punch from therum - which I wasn’t a huge fan of. Overall, great experience and recommend. Read more

Went for happy hour with a girlfriend. The bartender Edwin was so nice and made us feel like we were long time customers. I got... the hibiscus sangria it was delish. We tried the tostones, empanadas and churros. Churros definitely impressed me, they were theperfect crunch. Me and my friend ended up dancing on the floor, it was a very good time. Thanks Edwin you’re so friendly. Read more

This place was lovely! The ambiance was amazing. The Mojito is a must! The best hands down. Everything that I indulged in was... superb! The only thing that I could suggest is that the staff be a bit more attentive as far as checking in on the tableperiodically…(water,etc…). Read more

We hosted a private event here and it was lovely! Edwin and his team were fantastic, everyone enjoyed it! The Coca Cola chicken,... churros, and shrimp ceviche were delicious! The ropa vieja is definitely different, not that good. But the drinks were good andwe would definitely host another event here. Thank you! Read more

This is going to be my new go to spot in SS. Great drinks..great food and service. December 2021..went for brunch and was quite... delicious..ordered the chicken and waffles..FYI the chicken has bones and be sure to indicate if you want white or dark meat ifyou have a preference. Meal was delicious and the lavender margarita was good too. Also come with cash if with a decent sizedgroup as splitting checks could be a problem. My friends enjoyed their meals as well so definitely a place to check out Read more

The happy hour here was amazing. We got the lavender margarita picture and the Chupate tus Dedos (Lick your fingers) appetizer... sampler. All the food was delicious! But between the three of us we still couldn't finish all the food. And bread flatten musicplaying but just a little too loud. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Read more
