Casual atmosphere, clean and tidy. Excellent food. Drinks were good and quick. Clean bathrooms! Our waitress had a beautiful smile and was attentive, im sorry i didn't catch her name. We felt welcomed. It was a slow time of day and I noticed staff keeping busy in the back of the restaurant. No one sitting around looking at their phone or goofing off. Everyone had something to do and they all smiled while they did it. The potions are nice. I highly recommend saving room for Flan. Perhaps the best I've ever had! Thank you for a great meal.
My husband and I came here for lunch during happy hour and were so impressed! Our server Rihanna was incredibly kind, sweet, and very knowledgeable about the menu. She made the experience very comfortable for us first timers. The whole vibe of the restaurant is so easy going and inclusive. Their decorations and color scheme are such a vibe. When our food came out the tacos were much bigger than I expected and very filling. My husband had arepas for the first time here and he loved them! Will be coming back again soon. New favorite lunch spot
Food came out quickly. The guacamole has just the right amount of lemon juice, the tofu taco and the brisket tacos were huge and super tasty. Even the chips had good seasoning. I'll try the Arepas next. Definitely will be back! 10/10. Good job!
Picked up some today after our banana splits next door! This place was fantastic. I ordered the sampler which was delicious & didn’t get a picture. I’ll be back for more
Lovely arepas (much bigger than normal ones!) and great, friendly service. Their yucca fries are excellent, well fried and with a smooth texture. The horchata gets an A+ from one in our party who has high standards for the drink. Their flan is quite good too! Stop by Creole Creamery after for a delicious ice cream to finish!
