    Not enough on-site parking, and needed more staff to adequately cover tables on the night we were there. Food was delicious though, although drinks were a little pricey.

    Excellent portions, there is nothing bad on that menu, we ordered a ton with such a big party and it was all delicious. Good music/atmosphere and excellent drinks

    Excellent food with nice portion sizes. We definitely brought some home with us. Great prices on beer and wine during happy hour and the ambience was great, as well as the music they played in the background. A wonderful restaurant all around for Cuban food.

    Food was horrible following strong opening. Drunken lamb is now scrap meat. Sangria was terrible. Margarita maker was out of order. Coffee machine was out of order. Music was so loud nobody could have a conversation.

    We finally made our way to Pasion, after going back and forth deciding on their menu. We we're interested in the place because it was new, but at the same time their menu didn't seem to catch our interest. The menu must have been a issue because, they changed the whole menu and style of food they prepared. The atmosphere was energetic with live music and the waiters/waitress shared the same energy. To bad the energy stop there. When it comes to Latin food, I was expecting food to be spice, ethnic and HOT...I put hot in all caps to because our food came out cold. It also came out bland, no flavor at all. I had lamb and it tasted like it was beef braised in a light tomato sauce. My wife had a dish I can't even remember, but I know she didn't eat it. As for their drinks, unless your a rum drinker you will be hard pressed to enjoy the drinks. I can say though, this place is perfect for the younger crowds between the ages of 25-35 because you get a lot of food and the drinks are right up a young persons alley.

    Our first time will not be our last. Food was very flavorful and the decor made us feel like we were out of the country in vacation.

    A fun restaurant. Our server was excellent and knew the menu well and had good recommendations. The mojita 's were great, as was the Pasion punch.

    Decent food could've been better! Arrived for our reservations 2hrs before closing and seemed to be rushed and food appeared that way as well! Dine here before with better results hoping this was just a hiccup!!! Moderately pleased this time around!

    The food here was really great. If you like Cuban food they do it right. Great flavors and representation of authentic Latin cuisine. Everything we had was really tasty - especially the Mohitos.
