Walking in was initially confusing with two doors upon entering but self explanatory which is correct. The host booth was small and could easily been walked by. The paintings and bar were nice with a tv. The bathrooms were single person and big and smelled nice. Our server Erika was nice and upon the second visit to the table she let us know she spoke Spanish, which with the cuisine served is to be expected. But this was ideal for my dining partner. We had their fried plantains for appetizer and they were not what we expected at all. They were not bad but they were whole shaved plantain slices fried and served with mayo ketchup sorry i didnt take a photo of that. Bread was brought to the table after the appetizer and it was mediocre. We had mofongo relleno with chicken for our entree and it was surprisingly delicious. The texture was soft similar to a thick oatmeal, the sweetness mixed with the savory and they had an interesting twist by filling the mofongo with peppers and onions. We had the coconut flan for dessert and i have to say we could not taste the coconut at all but the flan itself was very good, authentic and legit. The atmosphere was more of a bar although that was its own section it didnt feel kid friendly so to speak. Overall i thoroughly enjoyed their menu physically they were beautiful and pleasant to look at but their take on worldwide cuisine was refreshing. The price for the mofongo and appetizer was reasonable for the quality. 4 stars!

I've been before and I've enjoyed it. I had a large group for my birthday and it was horrible. We called ahead and if they were unable to accommodate they should of said that. The food came out sporadically amongst the tables. Some of my party received their food right before we were leaving. They had to take it to go. Some of the dishes were undercooked, Sent back and came back very overcooked. The porkchop dinners were salty and hard to chew. Then after the long wait for the food the manager asked when were we leaving because they need our tables. Very disappointed.

We went here for lunch on a Friday and it was pretty empty, however once we sat down people started filtering in. We got our food pretty quickly. There are a lot of menu items to choose from, which took me a while to pick from. We all got something different and had no complaints. The service was good, our waiter was helpful and attentive. Definitely a hidden gem, I’ve passed by this place for a while and never noticed it.

Overall great experience! I had high hopes that the eclectic array of food would taste authentic.... as the saying goes, " jack of all trades master of none". On a more positive note, the service was exceptional and the ambiance was stunning with the many art paintings that were made by one of the staff. Not opposed to giving it a second chance.

My husband and I have been hesitating about this place for a while now. A good friend highly recommended it but my husband feared that with soooo many menu options they wouldn’t be good at perfecting a smaller amount of dishes. I hate saying this but he was right. I’ll start with my dish, which was supposed to be a mofongo. It was definitely not authentic. It was a good mangú (mashed green plantains) at best but none of the fried texture a true mofongo has and although the menu said it’d include chicharrones (fried pork skin) it didn’t. The mangú however did include a ton of steak strips that were pretty good. My husband had the fajitas. The beans looked blended and dry and the guacamole was brown like if it had been sitting out for a while before serving it. The chicken however did have good flavor. The tres leches was waaaay too sweet. I never thought I’d say that about tres leches but it was. The layer of merengue was thicker than the cake layer and it was crunchy like it we were chewing sugar. Service was ok. She was nice when she was there but it seemed she was spread thin and it took a while to get my drink and then the check.
