    The food was delicious as always. The service was fast. It’s a little loud but it’s part of the overall experience.

    I have been there before and I am a recurring customer at the one in Westbury. I was disappointed with the food distribution. We ordered appetizers and drinks then ordered the entrees not 5 minutes after receiving our appetizers the food came out giving us no time to make space for our food meanwhile not finished with the apps we scrambled and turned the table. Also, our steaks were to over cooked for medium well though our waitress was good the food experience was not. You need to give your customers time to finish before bringing out the orders.

    The experience was amazing, all of my friends, including myself, enjoyed the food, the presentation of the plates, and how well everything was made. The only thing was that the nachos were very salty, other than that, we had no issues.

    Server was very helpful. Place has a good vibe. Food was favorable as expected. The only complaint was that the chicken was overcooked.

    It's in a great location near Times Square. The restaurant has a nice layout and has a great vibe. The drinks are outstanding. I ordered an appetizer (which I never received) and a main course (Vaca Frita). My meal was okay. The meat was dry and lacked any flavor and the fried egg over the rice was like rubber. Not great. Our sides: maduros and tostones were great. The tres leches desert was delicious.

    Anthony was the best server! He made our aunt’s birthday so special! All that was missing was the live music on a Saturday night.

    The drinks are good and the ambience is good and the service was very good and the waiters were very attentive, but the food was mediocre at best. Very disappointed with the quality of the food and the flavor. It seems like they were just kind of mailing it in with the food. I was looking forward to this, but I was quite disappointed honestly.
