Excellent food, drinks, and service. We had their brisket quesadilla to start, which was very large and delicious. Whole fish was also excellent, but even after being filleted, had more bones than we expected. Drinks were on the pricey side. Daiquiris were delicious, so we had a bunch. At $20 each, that got expensive.

Asif our server was great! Kind and knowable as well as super accommodating to my food allergy. The whole staff was excellent from the second we arrived. The guac was so fresh and we love that it came with fried plantain chips instead of just regular corn chips. The ceviche is a must! So flavorful and delicious. We had a little hiccup with the drinks but it was rectified right away and with a smile. The chicken was cooked table-side and was very moist but crispy on the outside. My friends also had the fries with sausage and cheese( I don’t eat pork so I didn’t have it) but they said that it was also amazing. Really a great experience. The place is pricey, but in my opinion so worth it for the quality of the food and the service. Thank you!

The food is really good - particularly the chicken. My biggest complaint is that the portions are a bit small for the price point. The mains say they are meant for 2-4 people on the menu but they are closer to 3/4 of the size of a regular entree anywhere else.

Seating was tight and a little awkward because of the squishy sofas. The drinks were excellent. The food was flavorful and the service was prompt and attentive. The noise level made it hard to have a conversation.
