    Mofongo with chicharron. Lawd, just LOOK at it
    Quandra T.

    Five stars for having the sweetest waitress ever and the most scrumptious mofongo I've ever had in my life. Now I'm not saying I'm ANY kind of mofongo expert here; I've only had the dish a handful of times and discovered that I'm quite partial to it, despite not being a fan of plantains. But the experience I had at THIS place... I had Abba on my Yelp list for awhile and realized it's in the neighborhood of my salsa studio. Stopped by this past Friday night and while it was busy, we were easily seated. Our waitress was SO sweet and friendly, warning me of the strength of their alcoholic beverages (WARNING: they're tasty but POTENT), offering to bring extra dishes for sharing, giving great suggestions. My friends opted for burgers, but at this authentic Latin place, I was determined to have an authentic Latin dish. I ordered the mofongo with chicharron, and it came out VERY quickly (from what I've experienced in the past, it usually takes a lil minute to prepare). First of all, it was BEAUTIFULLY plated, aesthetically-pleasing-to-the-MAX, so I was salivating the moment she placed it in front of me. From the first BITE, I'm sure my face reflected some kind of nirvanic ascension. It was DELICIOUS, the pork belly wonderfully crispy yet juicy, and the unique SAUCE it's coated in blew my tastebuds away. Flavor freaking central. Gladly worth the $20 it cost. Only thing to watch out for here; it seems after 11pm the DJ turns the volume up FULL BLAST in here, so the vibe goes from...lit Friday night hotspot to JUMPIN CLUB SCENE REALY QUICK. Nobody was dancing (and we kind of wished there were some salseros up in there because we would have loved to get some practice in), but at that point, there was absolutely NO way you could hear anyone at the table speak anymore or have a conversation anymore, so we decided to take our leave, with my precious mofongo leftovers in tow.

    BBQ Wings , Fries, Mango Marg

    Food good, drinks good , 10/10 Happy hour is always a good place to join. Service A1

    Tostones and Yucca fries

    The food is delicious, we.had empanada (2 for $6) during happy hour, nice size amd very tasty. I had a mofongo w shrimp as the main. Delicious, fresh,.tasty, flavorful. The drinks during happy hour were a decent size, my frozen margarita was not frozen so that was a bit disappointing. The dessert of cornbread a la mode is so yummy, I would return just for that dessert. The ladies who work here provide a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I liked the music, vibe, we arrived right when they opened. I did not like that they had hookah, and the smoke was bothersome. I am not a smoker, I went there for food, drinks, music & all was nice until the hookah smoking started. I probably would return early and leave early.

    Chimi
    Emily B.

    The food was good, I really enjoy the Chimi and the sauce of the mofongo. During our visit the police showed up so that kind of killed the vibe. The hookah was expensive and not so great. It was okay however I will not be returning to this establishment.

    The outside

    A cool Latín bar & grill with great music. The waitress was friendly, we all had the Churrasco for our dinner which was good & juicy. We also had lemon pepper wings the wings were crispy which I liked but needed more seasoning. The chicharrón was good it came with fried yuca & tostones. The drinks were good as ℓℓ. If you like hookah they also have hookah.

    We had been to a few spots, and this would be the nightcap location. The bar itself is cute , nice open air flowing indoors . The bartender wears too many hats (waitress, hookah, etc) which slows the service for the bar patrons. We had two beef pastellios and they were good. There isn't much vibes here for me to come back .

    Wings with hair
    Ben R.

    Got a pickup order from here. I found two huge disgusting clumps of hair in my wings. Unfortunately, the rest of my meal was cooked in the same oil that fried this hair. I should have known not to eat the food when the bones in the wings were all broken. They were clearly just sitting at the bottom of their dirty freezer for who knows how long. Update: It's been about 30 minutes since eating one of the wings and I'm having terrible stomach cramps. The chicken had to have been rancid. Update a day later: I got food poisoning but am feeling better now :/

    Chicken Quesadilla
    Amber H.

    Came in as a group of 4, we were out at a table but were only given 2 seats because they were waiting for a party to leave so we can get their table (i don't understand why they didn't give us 4 chairs at our table while we waited, but whatever). I ordered a burger which came with fries it was really good and juicy i liked the sauce it came with. My boyfriend and friends got the chicken quesadilla. I tried it and it was extremely tasty and stuffed. We ordered a hookah which was $35 and we are able to add it to your bill. One down side is they only have mint flavor. We also got passion fruit frozen margaritas which were pretty strong. The waitress had an attitude that's why i took off one star. Tip is automatically included in the bill. The music is really good. Would i come back? Yes. Worth the money? Yes

The ceviche was probably the best ceviche I've ever had in my life. It was blood orange based, but the citrus was really well balanced. The king oyster mushroom dish was soo delicious.

It's a beautifully designed space, and we went in the evening so it was dimly lit and had good tunes, contributing to an intimate and cool vibe. The service throughout was good both by our primary server and the rest of the team that was bringing out dishes. For the food, we did not feel that it was a strong start, but the ending was great! The first dish to come out was their cornbread, which we agreed was very light and had a super tender texture, but there was just nothing special about the taste profile to us. The second dish were their prawns. We couldn't put our finger on the off-putting flavor in there, but we agreed that something just wasn't right and almost tasted spoiled. You also had to work a bit to dissect the prawns and remove the heads and skin. To work for it and then not enjoy the taste wasn't a great combo for us, unfortunately. It started turning around with their sweet potatoes, a type I'd never had before that were "baby" and purple on the outside while white inside. They served the potatoes with a gorgeously whipped Greek yogurt that added the exact right amount of tang to balance the sweet potato and the herby topping. The stars of the night were the coconut basmati rice and the lamb shank. My goodness! The rice dish was so complex from a flavor and texture profile and just hit all the right notes for us, and that lamb! Definitely one of the best lamb dishes I've had - Impossibly tender and seasoned to perfection. One other note I'll make regarding drinks is that they did not have a strong wine list. I ended up ordering a red, but later heard our waiter recommend against getting their wine to another table and suggesting their cocktails and mocktails instead. Just something to keep in mind if you're a wine lover!
