    Went with a friend for Monday Margaritas special. It was just opening for dinner so it wasn’t crowded as of yet. Beautifully decorated for Halloween. Drinks were great and dinner and service were excellent. Great night

    Small portions and flavor was lacking in the arepas. The ceviche was a bit too overpowered by the acidic components of the dish and too tangy.

    Excellent service! They have someone standing by the sink outside the restrooms opening the water and handing you napkins.

    The server didn’t provide napkin, it was for a birthday and I couldn’t even find one person to get a cake and candle…. I could have do my dinner another place and get a candle and cake to make my boyfriend feel a little extra special and all the did was serve the food we didn’t even eat the food properly and they ask if we wanna take it home the chicken wasn’t even fully cook!!! The service was bad and I am highly disappointed becz it was for a celebration and was one of my worst experiences ever
