    Excellent food, drink and amazing service. Our waitress Amena went beyond to celebrate our friends 50th bday. The manager and bar tender were courteous, addressed all our needs. Food was delicious, we tried lot of starters, empanadas, yucca fries and arapa's were very good. Nacho's was okay. Drinks were amazing good. Ambience is ok but the music and energy takes over everything else. Highly recommended.

    Service was good. Music too loud. After certain hours the places becomes a nightclub and had we known that prior to seating we probably not stayed. It became too loud my friends and I could not hear each other and we felt rushed to eat so they could clear our table. My friends and I would of been okay if it was explained ahead of time about the changes in ambience. Food was great though.

    Overall a great experience. Food and drinks are nice and authentic Latin American. Service was excellent and friendly with an Argentinian touch. Great ambiance for a fun dinner with adults and kids! Will do it again.

    This place is quite deceptive. The setup for this restaurant is more of a bar, it’s small, narrow & to be optimistic intimate. If your expecting a intimate dinner, go earlier in the day, food is decent but prices are racy. Drinks are weak, margarita pitchers are full of sugar & drink mix then any tequila at all. The service isn’t really attentive, the vibe is really energetic. Young crowd, there’s better, more classier places to get Latin food, with great service. I guess this place will do for drinks & bar food with a Latin twist. But pretty meh at best
