The food here is amazing everyone and anyone must try their food, it’s fresh, pricing is reasonable and if you ask me quantity is right for the price keep up the good work to the cooks in the kitchen and the staff serving front. Every time I come here I try something new and I’m never disappointed it’s always a good experience

I am still raving about this food 24 hours after eating it.
The lomo salteado was perfectly seasoned and beautifully cooked.
The tostoncitos and the cheese arepa were both delicious.
Overall an amazing stop here for super reasonable price and I’ll definitely be going back.

Walked in as a party of 7.
We expected a wait but the staff told us it would be 20 minutes.
Those 20 then 30 minutes passed.
We called back to get an update but no answer.
We walked in 40 minutes after the initial check in to see if they mistaked our number.
They told us that the table was still not ready.
We decided to leave.
As we’re getting ready to find a different restaurant, driving away they called us shortly after saying that it’s ready.
The misleading wait time and lack of courtesy was disappointing but we were hungry.
We sat.
We weren’t given menus and had to ask.
They forgot some of our drinks and took long to touch our table.
The food was okay but the meal we ordered didn’t come with one item.
The arepa.
After requesting it we received it cold.
I told staff and they told me they’re made in the morning.
They gave me food sitting out since the the morning and didn’t even try to let me know they were old and cold.
It was around 4 when we ate.
At least explain to me before hand ? At least try to heat it up? The poor service would result in a poor tip but we had to deal with the auto gratuity.
I can assume that the auto gratuity made them more likely to ignore our table. I do not recommend this restaurant as they wasted our time with the misquoted wait time and had made many mistakes in service.
