An $11.50 tip was already included on my $93 bill, yet the itemized receipt showing that charge was wrapped around my credit card, while the signature copy with only the total was placed on top. That presentation feels intentional and misleading. Most people would sign without double-checking the tucked receipt and could easily tip twice. If gratuity is being added, even for a party of one, say it clearly. Transparency matters. Great food doesn't excuse shady billing practices.

It appears to be a family-owned spot with a cozy atmosphere. Although they offer a full menu, they're best known, as their name suggests, for their empanadas, which are labeled and beautifully displayed in a glass case. Although the wait was a bit long, I'm happy to say it was worth it. The baker empanadas are generously stuffed with delicious fillings. I ordered three to share with my partner. Matambre Empanada: This seems to be one of their most popular options. Filled with steak, onions, and peppers, it was absolutely delicious! Spicy Chorizo Empanada: Spicy in the best way! The mozzarella perfectly balances the heat. Beef Empanada: Packed with plenty of seasoned ground beef. Also very good, though we preferred the Matambre. We'll definitely be ordering again. Next time, we'll have to try one of their entrées or sandwiches.

I bring my mom for her birthday to their Union locations every year because she absolutely loves the aesthetics and, most importantly, the food. This year, we decided to switch it up and try the Harrison location. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the staff was nice, but unfortunately, the food did not live up to our experiences at Union. For appetizers, we ordered the calamari, ceviche de camarones, and montaditos de churrasco. The churrasco was by far the worst it had absolutely no flavor. For our entrees, a few of us ordered the mofongo, which was very dry. The fried fish was also overcooked and lacked flavor. I wish the food was more consistent.

The place was busy during my visit (always a good sign), but I was seated right away. Service was excellent friendly, attentive, and patient while explaining some of the dishes on the menu. I ordered four pupusas: cheese, loroco with cheese, chipilín with cheese, and jalapeño with cheese. The loroco pupusa was outstanding, the cheese pupusa was classic and tasty, and the jalapeño pupusa had a nice mild kick. Chipilín was new to me, and while not my favorite, it was great to try something authentic. To drink, I had a fresh cashew juice that was refreshing and perfectly balanced not too sweet. I ended my meal with a coffee that was simple but really good. The atmosphere is colorful and family friendly, with murals inside and out that make the space feel authentic and full of culture. Parking is small but manageable. There was soft music playing in the background. It was great. I could have a nice conversation with family and enjoy the moment. On Fridays after 7 PM. They have a life show so it might get loud. Just keep in mind. I'm definitely coming back to try their soups, I've heard great things.

THE DO NOT LIKE TO SERVE NON-HISPANICS. 12/11/2021 4:20 ish…read moreLets start this off by saying I am a Jamaican woman. For months I would come to this Spanish restaurant every single day because I Really enjoy their food. I have witnessed how they would treat non Hispanics and it's absolutely DISGUSTING. First incident I witnessed but I wasn't there for the full incident so I didn't really have a full understanding of what took place, however they refused to serve the woman because she didn't look very pleasant. The second incident they had a new worker and she was responsible for serving me let's start off by saying she wasn't happy to serve my food, I ordered stew chicken and Every single part of the chicken she put on my platter was the part with all bones so I had to ask her to please replace a few of them. Lastly today I had my final straw. I went there to get my usual stew chicken. There was another family ahead of me so I waited to be served next. Afterwards a couple came in after me while I was standing there waiting to be served. There is this old man, not sure if he is the owner but he has always been very unpleasant to people who weren't Hispanics. He came and served the couple that came in after me while I was still standing there without asking who was next. The gentleman looked and he continued anyway while I stood there and around in disbelieve as if I was invisible. They served that couple yes that came in after me. I was so furious at the discrimination. So I asked the lady working there if they do not serve non Hispanics and if there was anyone there that I could speak to that spoke proper English and they said no. No apology nothing whatsoever. It's so disgusting that we still have to deal with this in America. NEVER AGAIN I'm highly upset because I spent a lot of money there. Also I noticed I usually buy the same exact thing and most of the prices are different on my bank statement

It's a…read morelittle further than we'd normally want to drive for a random restaurant but we had the day off so we figured - why not? They only have outdoor seating, and you have to go around the back for the dining area. I liked that they had games on each table (giant uno, giant Jenga) so it seems like a cool spot to meet up with some friends. There was some sort of taco special going on (2 for $8, but add $1 if it's a seafood taco). Here is what we ordered: -Pork belly taco (roasted pork belly, salsa verde, pickled red onion) - definitely my favorite. The pork was so tender and flavorful -Lobster taco - (chilled lobster, chipotle aioli, red onion, corn, avocado, blue corn hard shell) - this was kind of like a lobster salad but I really liked it. I considered ordering another one of these two but I was already full from the additional pork belly taco -Crispy fish taco (panko breaded white fish, lettuce, pico, chipotle mayo, flour tortilla) - this was a solid fish taco -Spicy jerk chicken taco (roasted chicken thigh, mango salsa, crema, pickled onion, guacamole) - this one was my least favorite. The chicken was dry, and it's pretty hard to overcook chicken thigh -Birria burrito lunch special - my husband ordered this one and it was soo dry. Since it said birria, we thought it would have come with consommé, but it didn't. I don't think that would have helped much though. Lunch specials come with your choice of yellow rice & black beans, salad, or fries. He chose fries and they tasted like when you have leftover fries from McDonalds and pop them in the toaster oven the next day (not good) -Chicharron - tough and dry As I mentioned, this spot is a little far for us so I would probably only go back if I was ever in the area for some more pork belly and lobster tacos. But I wouldn't go out of my way to do so. Tip - BYOB

Okay the tip review was from 2025 I have been here about 7 times. The tacos taste a bit better but them tortillas man!
