    We were celebrating my friends bachelorette and came here for dinner. The waiter had a headphone in the whole time, forgot multiple things, didn’t check on our table in a timely fashion (we were there over 2 hours total) and could not understand what we were asking. When it came time for the bill, they could not give us individual checks, it had to all be on one bill - which would have been ok if we would have been aware of this before we got the check. They kept saying it is their policy and it says it when you book a table, but it does not say that anywhere on their website or when you book a big party (there was 10 of us). We were asking our waiter questions, trying to figure out what we could do and he ran back and told the owner we were being mean to him when we were simply trying to figure out how to pay because we did not expect this problem. The owner came out and was extremely rude to us, telling us WE needed to be nice to his employees - it turned into a nightmare. We were never rude or disrespectful, never said a word about the bad service or complained about anything and the owner came out to tell us to be nice, this is the policy at all restaurants to be on one bill for a party this big - no it is not, I have been multiple places where they will split the bill in some way for us, Very unprofessional!!!! So be prepared, if you are a bigger party, to have it all on one bill (so they can charge gratuity is what it comes down to) and then treat you very unprofessionally! Will NOT be coming back. Food was mediocre. Service bad. Very dark atmosphere. It has good intentions but not anymore after this experience. We were there to celebrate our friend getting married and it was totally ruined!

    It was very overpriced for what you get, the owner and servers were nice but weren’t around much and it took a very long time to order, get two rounds of drinks, and the check. It could definitely be great but I think it’s struggling to find proper footing.

    To be honest there was a little confusion with who was waiting on us and did not have a waiter/waitress for about 15-20 min. I let a young lady Torrey know and she took care of our table and she was fabulous!! The food was good! Torrey made us want to come back another night. I even told some of my family/friends about the place.

    The restaurant's atmosphere and interior design were very aesthetically pleasing. Upon entering, it was confusing where to go to check in for reservations. It seemed that the receptionist was also waiting tables. We walked up to the bar since there was no clear check-in location, and the bartenders seemed very annoyed when we asked where we were supposed to check in. Although the servers were friendly, the wait time was very lengthy, utensils were given 10 minutes after the food was served, and there were no refills on water. The food was mediocre; the plain white rice with the carne asada could use some beans, like a traditional Latin American dish. The ceviche differed drastically from traditional ceviche; it was very frugal with the shrimp within it. For the pricing and area in which this restaurant is located, I expected both the service and food to be better.

    Great vibe and good, different food. Appetizer size could be a little larger since people are sharing (even if costs more). Working out some kinks in service, but servers have to move a lot. Overall a delicious and fun experience.

    Awesome atmosphere. The vibe downstairs is really cool. Had some tequila honey cocktail, which was overly sweet. Pisco sour was perfect. Shrimp ceviche was not really ceviche. Cooked shrimp in a sauce that tasted like chili powder. The flavor of the skirt steak was fantastic. Sadly, it was served lukewarm. Really wanted to like this place and I love the concept but they need to tweak a few things.

    Cute restaurant with yummy Latin cuisine. When we went it wasn't too busy and no music was being played because it was very early but our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and explained the dishes and offered us suggestions. I asked him to pick a few traditional drinks for us and they were flavorful. Probably would go back on a Friday or Saturday night when there was more of a crowd for the ambiance and Latin music

    Your mouth will thank you! The food and drinks burst with flavor. We both had the carne asada and was not disappointed. Service was amazing as we were constantly checked up on to make sure our drinks were always full and we didn't need anything. Drinks are made with fresh squeezed juice and very flavorful

    Horrible service. Drinks came out wrong although they were delicious. We ordered the restaurant week meal for 1 person and the other wanted an app as their meal. The app came out as an app. It was wrong and it was cold. The waitress then brought out the meal and dessert at the same time. Which was also cold. Asked for manager. Was told the manager was gone that night which was a Friday night?!!! They comped the app and 2 drinks. McDonald’s food is better then this place. Ambiance was real cool and the drinks. But the rest really ruined it. Unfortunately this restaurant is not going to make it.

    LULO KitchenResponded on March 22, 2023Thanks for coming in and giving us a try, we appreciate it. The app, quinoa ceviche is a cold dish, fyi. We are training new staff as we have been growing and apologize for the mis-haps. That said, I think our team did right. If you love McDonalds so much our food is probably not for you! Thanks again and much love to you and yours!

    First time here. Atmosphere aesthetics were pleasing and unique. Food seemed fresh and light. The mango salmon was tasty. Had chicken empanadas and the sauce with that was delicious. Was there on a Sat. night at prime dining time 7pm. It was super busy and the service was just so-so. There was a table across the stairs that was wildly obnoxious loud, obviously that's no reflection of the establishment but it was hard to even carry on a conversation 20 ft away. The ambiance was very lively and energetic. Food was good but not blow your socks off, like a 6/7 a little above average good. I felt like it was a little over priced, competitive prices but perhaps not for what we received. I know the cost of everything has gone up though 😕.

    Upon arrival we went to check in and waited for about 10 mins. before anyone came to greet us. After which the hostess pointed to the only remaining table on the first floor, so at this point all tables are occupied. After another 10 minutes we were given water and the menu. We had questions regarding some items on the menu and the hostess/server could not answer them because she said no English. We took this as she didn’t speak and/or understand English. I ordered the Chicken Empanadas and they were out so I ended up ordering the Cubanito Sandwich and it do not disappoint. My daughter had the Teriyaki Salmon and reported it as being flavorful and the Salmon seasoned well and cooked to perfection.
