Last night we stopped for dinner even though itâs a 40min drive and the food and service were perfect! My wife had the Chicken and yellow rice with seasoned fries, plantain and sweet tea. I had the steak fajitas with salad, trimmings and a soda First of all the fajitas and chicken were moist and superb, the green peppers and onions were cooked perfectly not overdone! But the surprise of the night was the Seasoned Fries!! WOW, is all I can say, I liked them so much I got an order for myself! When you go, Donât forget to ask for a large order of the Pico de Gallo for your fajitas! You WILL Enjoy this place, and our waiter was So friendly and helpful, he made the dinner even more wonderful!

We stopped and got dinner for our family based on a suggestion. It was so good. The staff was friendly as well. Between us we got the whole cuban sandwich, garlic chicken and garlic shrimp - it was all really good as was the rice and black beans.

As a solo traveler Iâm limited to what I ordered so that it usually only three things. I had the duck confit quesadilla, paella and the guava flan. All were very good. The flan is not traditional and reminded me more of a cheesecake. However, I didnât leave a crumb of it. The place was full when I came in so I got stuck sitting at the bar. There was a big table of three families with small children. The service was still good even though the single server was swamped. Prices are reasonable. Very Limited beer and wine selection. Menu should have enough variety to please a large family. They also do a fair amount of take away so the cook is WHAF back there. Iâm almost never in a hurry and if I have a beer or glass of wine in my hand Iâm happy. Overall a very good meal.

We went to this restaurant for a quick lunch on our way to the airport. We werenât disappointed. We had sandwiches and what can I say; they were delicious, substantial and importantly came quickly. Only down side was we were initially brought the wrong order which the waitress seemed a bit stroppy about when pointed out. Your fault not ours love!All in all perfect for a quick and tasty lunch.In summary:+ good food + generous portions + relaxed atmosphere+ good value- not the best table serviceKey question; would I eat here again?Yes.
