Love the food everything made fresh and hot great service from the door to our table thanks
I've been here over 8 times now! Every visit is a treat for my taste buds, and my favorite dish is hands down the arroz y pollo. The salsa is fantastic and spicy, which adds an extra kick to every bite. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and they make me feel like a valued guest every time I visit. The atmosphere is casual but it is truly a gem.
Wait time (in a covered seating area) was not long at all for a Saturday lunch hour rush, food was delicious. The 4 of us total was less than the cost of my wife and I alone at a national wings chain the night before. Service was polite and courteous. Food arrived quickly and in good portions. We are visiting from the East Coast and this place was Highly recommended. After experiencing it ourselves I completely agree.
