Great experience. Did the tasting menu and almost everything was a hit. I would probably not order the pollo en chicha again in the future. Good sauce, but chicken thigh and legs needed to be cooked more. the lengua pupusa was amazing. The salvi side plate was so flavorful and delicious. The yuca was amazing! Really loved pretty much everything.

Great meal and service. Fun and enegertic place, but I wish the volume of the music was a bit lower.

The lobster club is amazing! Great service. Beautiful room.

It was excellent- great food, service and ambience
