“ Despite the many complaints regarding wait time on some of these reviews, we had no issues on a Sunday. The restaurant has parking which is a huge plus. We needed a table for two and were called within 5 minutes. We did not wait for our food very long, food was delicious and fresh. Our server was very attentive. Will definitely be back to try other dishes! Thank you ”
“ We were a group of 7. We went for lunch and only had 1 hour or less. They took our order really fast and the food came out quick also. The food was amazingggggggggg. I ordered the “arroz chaufa” with shrimp, beef, chicken, ham and egg. I think at least 3 people can eat from it because they serve so much. They have my favorite freshly squeezed orange juice and other variety. The food from my friends was also excellent and delicious. Pictures tell the story. ”
