I recently visited this restaurant for the first time. When we walked in, we were seated quickly,…read morewhich was a great start. There was also a DJ playing and the music was really good, creating a fun and lively atmosphere. One thing to keep in mind is that they do not have a parking lot, so street parking is the only option. The prices are also on the higher side, but I was still open to seeing if the experience would be worth it. We ordered the picadera Dominicana and the waiter asked if we wanted guacamole. At no point did she mention that it would be an extra charge, so we said yes assuming it was part of the dish. We also ordered a passion fruit sangria pitcher, which was delicious and a good size for sharing. The picadera itself was good and we enjoyed the flavors. Unfortunately, the experience changed when the bill came. Since we were splitting the bill, they charged the appetizer as two separate portions, which ended up costing more. On top of that, we were charged $13 for a very small cup of guacamole, which they labeled on the receipt as "decorative guac" (it was presented as a Dominican flag in the middle). For just an appetizer and a pitcher of sangria, our total came out to $70. What really left a bad impression was when the server brought the bill back and pointed out where the tip section was, as if we didn't know how to read or weren't planning to tip. That felt unnecessary and a bit rude. It's unfortunate because the food and atmosphere had potential, and I likely would have given this place a much better rating if the lack of transparency about the guacamole charge and the comment about the tip hadn't happened.

If you're looking for authentic Ecuadorian food, this is a place that has been around for many…read moreyears and holds a special place in my heart. It used to be called Cejas and for a while now it's Garcia, the food still gives me that same taste of home. I was born in Ecuador and still have family there, so getting to eat here always brings me right back home. Everything tastes so authentic and delicious! I usually order the same thing because when you find something you love, why mess with it? Haha My go-to is the Bollo de Pescado, and it never disappoints. They also have some really good lunch deals during the week, which makes it a great option for a weekday meal. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so it can get packed, especially during busy times, and they don't take reservations. But honestly, it's worth the wait. A few things to know: parking can be a little challenging, but I can usually find metered parking or a spot a block or two away. Also, paying cash is a little cheaper than paying by credit card, so keep that in mind. There's also a small unisex restroom available. When I lived in New Jersey, I would sometimes order ahead and take the food home. Now that I live in Florida, whenever I'm back in the area, I always try to make my way here for a little taste of home. Authentic, comforting, and full of Ecuadorian flavor, definitely worth a visit if you're craving a real taste of Ecuador!

Well, now. Finding truly authentic Venezuelan cuisine wasn't on my 2026 bingo card (as the cool…read morekids say), but I'm definitely stamping this square. Dios mio, what a meal! There was not a bad bite to be had. We might've cut the roofs of our mouths with the crisped-to-perfection Patacón, but I don't care--I think all sandwiches should be encased in fried plantain instead of bread. And the succulent pernil filling? Dios mio otra vez! Though, tbf, when is pernil ever a bad choice? Then there was the stuffed-to-the-brim Cachapa filled with carne mechada and Venezuelan cheese. It was enormous. Like, Jesus pulling from the neverending fish basket enormous. It never ended. We had to take it home. But before we did, I practically ate all of the arepa, which was the sweetest, bursting-with-corn-flavor arepa I've ever had outside of South America. It was so good, I practically cried with every bite. Tears of corny joy, mind you. We got an entree of grilled fish (Filete de Pescado a la Plancha), which came with a complimentary side--in our case, arroz amarillo cuz I gotta have my grains. The fish was perfectly crispy on the outside, meltingly tender on the inside. As with everything else, it was also way bigger than it had any right to be. Finally, we ended with what we THOUGHT would be a small item--the Arepa Arcoiris Llanero--but we were mistaken. It was stuffed so full of fresh avocado, shredded chicken, and various veggies that it had to be further encased in a paper wrapper for fear of the arepa wrap giving up on its job. We didn't make it more than a few bites before having to regretfully pack it home, but those few bites were chef's kiss. Venezuela has long been on my bucket list (who doesn't want to see Mount Roraima or Angel Falls?), but until I can get there, I'll be more than happy to "settle" for coming to this beautifully modern paradise of culinary delights. Throw in the huge portions and unbelievably low prices, and it's kind of a no-brainer to make the trip.

The atmosphere was cozy with dim lighting, and although the restaurant was lively, the noise level was just right for conversation.

The octopus and seafood paella were the standout of the night--perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. The sangria was also refreshing and paired well with the meal. It was nice that they gave out a shot of drink on the house at the end. Overall, it was a great dining experience with good food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'd visit again.

Here's how: They're yellow rice is so flavorful. I love their rice. Their encebollado mixto was rich in flavor, soft and easy to chew. The guatita in the Bandera was just made and was silky smooth. The sauce in that dish was mmm and the tripe soft and moist. I try to almost always get seco de chivo when I see it on a menu and that's what I did here but unfortunately it was dry. I get it chivo is tricky to make. Maybe it was made earlier in the day but I'm used to the dish being like a stew. But the seco de chivo wasn't bad! The quaker was the best way to end the meals. The tarrin serves about three 8 oz cups. When I went yesterday they only accepted cash and I don't know how long that'll happen for but bring cash! I paid about $43 for 3 meals and a quart drink. Parking can be tough so you should probably call ahead and pick up your order. There are parking meters which is 30 minutes for a quarter. I am definitely coming back. But wouldn't order the seco de chivo unless I'm craving it.

We'll likely just get sandwiches in the future though, because the combos are basically deconstructed sandwiches and end up just being messy to eat. Clean, nice ambiance.

They seemed to serve other customers before us time and time again, and we had to try very hard to flag someone down to get our complementary cups of orange juice, extra napkins and check. They aren't short staffed, we think they just preferred to interact with Spanish-speaking customers. Other than this service aspect, we really like it 10/10 and will be back.
