We had a lovely dining experience here. It was the first time for us and we ordered a few items to try. Our faves were the chicken empanadas and the rice. Our tacos were also delicious. We both ordered the specialty margarita which complimented the food. The flavors and textures were amazing. Service was on point. Haven't had such attentive service in awhile, which is refreshing. The only thing that felt off was the choice of music, kind if an odd vibe, but it certainly didn't affect our enjoyable experience.

A very good experience. Our waiter (Ian) was a pleasure, he understand customer satisfaction and does so with a very nice smile. Food was solid and prepared very well (sometimes the Coconut Shrimp gets overcooked, but not tonight), delightful.
