If you like pre cooked food with pleasant service this is the place for you. Staff is very nice, atmosphere is ok but the food could be given more attention.

Food was cold! Never got our drink. 45 minutes plus to get our food. Chicken tenders were horrible and the kids were the last to get their food. Also, has reheated tostones . This place sucks.

Ever Ruck

The food taste like a good home cooked meal . Not the best (the flavors could use more pop) but you'll leave full.

Do not eat here!!! 1st waitresses are horrible, food comes out cold along with appetizers all at the same time. They don't tell u credit card machine is broke till bill comes. Very deceptive . Crap!!

This place is terrible. Nothing authentic about it. Skip.

Bad customer service. Too expensive and chicken was very dry and tough.

Seriously the best empanadas anywhere. The cheese one is so good that I want to have it for breakfast with eggs on the side. One minus is that it's cash only. - Rebecca Chadwick
