Omigosh. This place was DELICIOUS. It was our first time, certainly won't be our last. First, the bread is FIRE. We loved the guava butter. We shared the chicken empanadas, which were very tasty and had a lot of filling. Husband and I both had the picanha steak, which was cooked perfectly, very tender and so flavorful. The black beans were literally the best I ever had. Our son has a Cubano, which was huge and had a lot of meat. I wanted dessert, but no room. Someday, though.
