The Pan Frito is a must! Really enjoyed the food and service with our dinner. All dishes we tried we really enjoyed. The Mole on the Amber cooked purple yam was fantastic. Mushroom with black garlic and fried parsnips, really enjoyed those. Finished with spectacular Dessert of Flan and coco bean. Will be back again soon.

Service is outstanding. Food does not match service level, ambiance or price level. Not as flavorful as expected. Enjoyable evening, just short of expectations for the setting.
