Reserved online through OpenTable. We got there a little early but were seated promptly just before our reservation. Very quaint and charming. Food was excellent. We tried a few dishes including the paella.

Found this place by accident last year. Came back twice on this year’s visit. Great food, good drinks and friendly service. Food cooked to order and delicious. Large portions so the more in the group the more you can order. Shrimp tacos, alcapurrias, snapper bites and the rice specials are all winners.

I got the grilled mahi with creole sauce and it was phenomenal. My husband got the shrimp tacos. We weren’t aware that they were made with breaded shrimp, but he really enjoyed it. And the tostones were excellent.
