“ I went here for lunch and this was a good stop. I ordered the scallops with black beans and the sweet plantains I like. I ordered a crab cake appetizer which had 2 cakes and they were very good. I had a small lobster bisque. This scallops were blackened and tasted great. I do recommend ”

Our server Reindel was a treat, he was caring and very attentive. He even served us the paella and made sure to explain the menu in great detailed. Another great night ! We even got shots and they were delicious, get the melon flavored ! ”
“ I never expected to find such a nice place like this. I had the pleasure to be served by Ernesto. He is the best. The menu is amazing it has so many choices!!!. The food was extremely good. It was fresh and the flavor would tell you that it was made just after we ordered. It is natural (not frozen) and it is organic. The service was also amazing, they are all professionals at what they do. The atmosphere was also excellent. They played Boney M while we were there and it made me remember those times when I was a kid. I really recommend everybody to visit this place you will not regret it ”

“ I recently visited this wonderful Latin restaurant with a friend and had an exceptional experience! We enjoyed delicious mussels, shrimp with sausage, and a rich, creamy lobster bisque. The highlight was definitely the rice with squid ink—flavorful and perfectly cooked. The ambiance was lively and inviting, and the friendly service enhanced our experience. Highly recommended for authentic Latin flavors and seafood lovers! ”
