We were the first in the restaurant at 12 noon, Thursday reservations with just one person at the bar. Greeted warmly upon arrival and seated immediately and menus were brought. Food didn't take long to come and everything was tasteful and enjoyed and prices were very reasonable. Everything went great except for a very minor issue: the meat portions were great but the small portion of rice was eaten much more quickly before the meat could be. I'd suggest a proportionate amount of rice to go with the meat and beans. After all this is a Latin restaurant; perhaps, give the option since many are on diets and cut back on carbohydrates. PS What's also good is that the waitress alerts you that the tip is included in the final bill without you having to ask, that was a nice little touch.

We took a chance from the reviews on open table. We were very pleased with the choice. The restaurant had an authentic vibe. The waiters entree suggestion was spot on. The best guacamole and chips I ever had. Everything we ordered was excellent. Will definitely go back.
