    The food, drinks and service here was very good! The sangria was very tasty. We ordered lots of different things but my favorite was the solomillo con bacon and an avocado dip that was fantastic. I can’t remember the name for the avocado thing. Phenomenal though! Actually thought about ordering a second one all to myself. Parking is literally nonexistent. You will need to valet park for $5 and they will actually double park you around the block so don’t go in your fanciest car if you are particular about how it is parked. Other than that, 10 out of 10 would do again!

    Absolutely FANTASTIC! I would travel back to Newark just to go! Decor was awesome. Place was big but so well designed. Food was incredible. Every bite of everything we ate was tasty. The staff couldn’t have been any better. We had 2 littles and they were SO kind to them. And engaging. Note they have very limited children’s menu options BUT our kiddos shared a skirt steak and loved it! They ate the entire thing! Can’t say enough good!
