Reviews

This is a cute popular spot in the Crosstown Concourse.
From what I understand is that they hire refugees from different countries so the dishes are authentic.
I have gotten the Carnitas tacos on multiple occasions and loved them I was that fond of the chicken tacos they didn’t have much flavor in my opinion.
My husband ordered shawarma and he said it was great.
The cocktails here are great too.


We came for brunch and it was perfect.
I ordered off of the regular menu and got the plantain soup which was enough for two people.
My fiancé ordered off of the brunch menu and got the breakfast tacos.
Again, a very generous portion.
Obviously everything was authentic and amazing.
Since it’s the holidays they were even offering a free rompope (with entree purchase) to show gratitude to their patrons… so good!


Friendly staff and good portion sizes.
It's nice to have an option of multiple ethnic cuisines under one restaurant (and have them all be good). The Asado bowl with carnitas was delicious (with rice, black beans, avocado, and pico de gallo).
My brother got the Pabellón entrée, which was another rice and black bean based dish.
The plantains were amazing, and if you've never had them before, you should order a side (or a dish that comes with some!). They have a different special every day of the week.
We happened to go on Taco Tuesday.
You get chips and salsa with an order of the special tacos. I will say, the worst thing about this place is that it's not open on Monday (but we understand everyone needs a day off).
