After dining with them for 10 years, I was disappointed to be able to book a party of 8 reservations for my sister's birthday, to arrive at a closed restaurant. I shouldn't have been allowed to make a reservation if it is closed.

Love going there the food is always terrific and authentic. The ambiance is fun and makes you feel like you are on vacation. The empanadas are exceptional and not to be missed. Make sure you do the one for dessert, that was amazing.

We went for brunch. The folks that ordered lunch enjoyed their food much more than those of us who ordered brrakfast. So… go for lunch or dinner. Great people and the place has a great barrio vibe.

After waiting for over an hour after placing our order, our waitress checked in on us once (and only appeared in the dining area once during that time) to ask if we were served our food yet. Another thirty minutes later, the food came out without us being checked on (or our waitress to be seen) until then. During that time, multiple parties of 10+ that came in well after us were served and even finished. The food was alright when we eventually got it home, as we had to box it up and leave (which took another 10-15 minutes itself), but definitely not worth the price or service. Will not be coming back.
