    Great spot! Food was all delicious and very reasonably priced for what you get. Ambiance was great, they had live salsa music which was a nice touch.

    Great atmosphere, but the service was very slow. The staff was very polite, but it took them a very long time to bring orders to the table. The food was okay, but I had to order at least 3 different times because they kept coming out to tell me they were out of that particular item in the kitchen or at the bar. I was disappointed when I was told that I had to come back after 3:00pm if I wanted ropa vieja. Apparently, such a popular dish isn't served at lunch. They were also out of ingredients at the bar and kept telling me to order a different drink. On top of that, the coffee tasted burnt! All in all, it was an incredible let down to a trip that I had really been looking forward to.
