We had the fries platter for two and loved all the things on the bite size appetizers. I am glad we got that because our main dishes took a really long time to come out. We ordered a carafe of really yummy (strong) sangria and the view was beautiful so we made due. My whole fried snapper was seasoned really well and the rice and beans was yummy. My husband ordered the large steak nachos and in short they were bad. The cheese sauce was cold and had an odd taste. The waitress told us the sour cream and guacamole was under the blanket of cheese but there was none.

The empanadas were DELICIOUS- definitely the highlight of our lunch. The rest of the dishes were good- the fresh caught red snapper was deep fried- which took away the experience of it being fresh.

Sitting outside facing the Atlantic Ocean with the cool ocean breeze was such a beautiful and peaceful experience. The views alone made the stop worthwhile, but I was pleased with the entire experience. The service was great from start to finish. For appetizers, I ordered the Chicharrones de Pollo, which were flavorful and crispy. I also tried one of the mozzarella sticks, but it didn't have that satisfying cheese pull I was hoping for. My man ordered the shrimp mofongo and really enjoyed it, while my brother-in-law was very happy with his snapper fish. For my entree, I chose the Mofongo Relleno de Pollo, a mashed plantain mofongo topped with chicken, and it was delicious. The portion was decent and packed with flavor. For dessert I tried the guava flan. While the flavor was nice, the texture was a bit too tough for my liking. Overall, the food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the oceanfront views were absolutely amazing.
