This place is so good. Their chicken is done right. I drizzle it with the green and yellow sauce . Their plantains is also a good choice for a side. They also have delicious fried rice .

This place is amazing. I had the 1/2 chicken and it was fall off the bone tender. The spices and taste were incredible. They had a variety of sauces . I enjoyed the hot sauce with the chicken .

Buy full chicken if 2 or 3 ordering. It comes with 3 portions of 3 sides too. My favorite is Quinoa salad and sweet potato fries !! Love the food

Fun quick dine. Quinoa-stuffed avocado=refreshing. Yummy fresh juices . Canary beans have zing. Chx dark meat=moist; white = too dry. Thumbs up for Solterito side. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff !

Johnathan Smith

Everything is fresh and very delicious! Frances suggested the Viva Chicken Salad and OMG such a great recommendation!! Great food and friendly staff ! :)

Wendy Quick

Lunch crowd is crazy! If you call in an order you should pay online or over the phone so you don't have to wait in the looong line . However food is fantastic and well worth the wait!

Chef Gillian H.

Yucca fries , house salad , and 1/4 dark meat FTW! the maracuya juice is quite lovely. Stay away from herbed lemonade if you're not into "eclectic " tastes. It's heavy on the grass, mint ,and basil .

Brittney H

I love the food & the people! The owner's amazing & the variety of everything from juice to appetizers will satisfy everyone.

Brian D

Patio dining , tasty & healthy meal choices, & made-in-house drinks (Chicha Morada & Maracuya are my faves).
