We went for brunch. The folks that ordered lunch enjoyed their food much more than those of us who ordered brrakfast. So… go for lunch or dinner. Great people and the place has a great barrio vibe.

After waiting for over an hour after placing our order, our waitress checked in on us once (and only appeared in the dining area once during that time) to ask if we were served our food yet. Another thirty minutes later, the food came out without us being checked on (or our waitress to be seen) until then. During that time, multiple parties of 10+ that came in well after us were served and even finished. The food was alright when we eventually got it home, as we had to box it up and leave (which took another 10-15 minutes itself), but definitely not worth the price or service. Will not be coming back.

Always on our list to stop in when in town. Great food choices all taste exceptional. Picked "Lechon" entree this time, as good as all others tried over the years. Paired with Yucca frita and Tostones Ellenos/Shrimp enough for 3 and leftovers. Exceptional consistent pleasant service and beautiful evening to sit outside.

Still a favorite neighborhood spot of ours, with delicious food and fun ambience. This visit disappointed on the service side, with long stretches when our table (and seemingly the entire patio) was neglected by staff. Our appetizer came out with the mains, and we had to request our check 3 times. I'm sure it was just a tough night, but hoping service experience improves in the future. They did redeem themselves a bit with a free flan and birthday song for our 3-year old son.
