So good! I wish my appetite was bigger or I would've tried so many things. I'll have to come back…read more I started with a pineapple limeade and wish I had a gallon of it. I had the Cuban on the fried plantains and it was just sooo good. My boyfriend got it on the roll and tried both, he liked it on the roll better. He also got empanada with carne, pulled pork, and chicken. He added the hot sauce. It comes with a pica de gallo that I ate, very tasty and fresh. I wish I lived closer, but I'd journey here just for this!

It is a café x vintage shop x surf shop. I love how sustainable this business is with anything from plastic-free shampoo and conditioner to reef safe sunscreen to sourcing used clothes. The staff was incredibly nice while recommending what to get and I'm glad I listened because it was delicious! I got a raspberry pastry, which was so moist and flavorful. A strawberry Matcha, which was topped with fresh strawberries, so yum! However, my favorites were the brown sugar shaken espresso, and the breakfast empanada. Their espresso came out so foamy on the top and was spiced with cinnamon. I'm normally a coffee sipper, but this went down in less than 15 minutes hahaha. The empanada was stuffed with scrambled eggs and cheese, and is actually sourced from their neighbor Lorena's empanadas! I will be back the next time I'm in southern Maine:)

If you've ever had Mexican especially tacos this is one of the closest places I have tasted to Texas or California tacos.

Was in the area for work and needed to grab some dinner on the go. Decided to stop in and try this…read morespot based on reviews. Was super quick in getting my order complete, I placed my order 5 minutes down the road and only waited a few more upon arrival. Tried 1x grilled shrimp taco.... Was okay lacked flavor, did not have much avocado sauce, if any at all. Probably would not order again. My main plate was the barbacoa burrito (as a bowl) this was great. The meat was very tender and flavorful, and a nice portion of it. Only thing I'd say for this is there was not a whole lot to it besides the meat/tomato and lettuce. I added rice, there may have been less than a scoop and seemed to be missing some of the included toppings. Either way it was tasty, I would order again!

Ambiance is great! Lively interior with a wraparound bar and lots of booth seating…read more In terms of service, the host was not very attentive. We (parents and a toddler) arrived hungry after driving two hours and had a hard time getting his attention at times. We arrived before 6pm on a Friday but still there was a wait. Once we were seated, the server was pretty prompt and really friendly, though generally service was somewhat slow with a wait for food. We were waiting almost an hour for entrees and about to change our order to to-go because of stress with our exhausted toddler, but of course that's when the food arrived. We had to shovel it in and leave. The food was the most disappointing part. The chips are clearly not homemade. The salsa didn't have much flavor, and the guacamole was a huge letdown. It had a dull green color and very "slop" style texture (think sour cream texture, not chunky like real guac) that all pointed to store bought / not fresh. I had the chicken enchiladas, and the sides of rice (so salty) and beans (very soupy) brought down an already undesirable dish. The enchiladas were cooked nicely but far too cheesy. The green sauce was nearly tasteless, the red sauce is what made it all edible. Wouldn't ever really come back here. I wish I could say something more positive!

This place has gone seriously downhill…read more What used to feel fresh and made-to-order now feels lazy and low-quality. The guacamole was shockingly bad squishy, overly processed, and nothing like the fresh guac they used to make in front of you. The chips tasted like they came straight out of a grocery store bag, which is pretty unacceptable considering how good they used to be. My partner's pork belly taco was almost inedible. It was tough, dry, and bizarrely similar to overcooked chicken with a gristly texture...definitely not pork belly. We ended up leaving most of it behind. We came back specifically for the mushroom taco we'd loved before, and it was a huge disappointment. Instead of something thoughtful or flavorful, it was just a massive pile of chopped fake meat with no seasoning and no balance. The vegan avocado taco was just as bad basically a bland grilled slice of avocado with zero effort put into it. Honestly, it feels like the kitchen has completely given up. The only saving grace was the bar, the bartenders were great and the margaritas were genuinely excellent. That's the only reason this isn't a 1-star review.

Ambiance/atmosphere: really nice and quite inside. The place wasn't too big, but not small enough you couldn't find a secluded spot if you wanted to. Nice music, vibrant color, and a really nice smoothie bar. Food: I ordered the steak and papas and it was delicious. Very well seasoned filet with crispy and fluffy soft potatoes with rice and really good pickles pink onions. I added quac and cheese onto it after mixing things together and when I ordered an extra side of steak they really hooked me up. So delicious. My dad ordered the patacon which has a very large and perfectly friend piece of savory plantain and topped with chicken and added steak with quac, lettuce, tomato, and a side of rice and black beans. For starters we ordered the yuca which was perfectly fried and crispy with a really good garlic aioli and cheese blanket over top. We also ordered the sweet madudo(sweet plantain) which came with cheese and was perfectly sweet and tender. So delicious. The side of tostones(savory plantain) was again perfectly friend and salted and with that garlic aioli dip and quac with pico de gallo it was fantastic. The empanadas came with all types of flavors. The beef was my favorite and had an amazing juicy, salty, and tangy flavor with the crispy casing. I'll say to skip the chicken, it was bland and had no flavor. My mom ordered the dessert empanada with cheese and a fruit inside and she said it was delicious and I'll say I can second that. The smoothies were delicious and had plenty of options to choose from. My mom ordered a Columbian milk coffee and said it was one of the greater ones she's tried, possible the best.

After driving 40 minutes we arrived 10 minutes early as they don't open until 430; no problem ,they saw us in the parking lot and waved us in. Unusual as most places guard the door to the second. They sat us immediately, and introduced us to our server Alyssa ,who turned out to be the most knowledgeable , professional person we have ever met. And we have been dining out and working in the industry for many years! The fun began; my wife ordered her Filet Mignon and I asked Alyssa what she recommended , shocking me she said The Skirt Steak with marbled potatoes with the empanadas as an appetizer. I was certain she would have said the Porterhouse or Tomahawk to upsell us but she was spot on as it was incredibly tender and flavorful . In summary it was the most delightful fine dining experience we have ever enjoyed! Thank you Alyssa and your incredible chefs and fellow servers for unforgettable 56 anniversary dinner!

Highly recommended by a coworker, my wife and I were very excited to go for our anniversary…read more To start, the atmosphere is nice, seating is comfortable and the staff were great. We wanted to try a little bit of everything, so decided on the mixed grill for 2, with mashed potatoes and fires on the side. We started with the focaccia bread and oil dressing that were very good. We also got the enchiladas, one spicy cheese and the other beef. These were okay, nothing crazy but enjoyable. However, the mixed grill was simply not worth the money. The sausage was over cooked, strip steak flavorless and the long short ribs were tough. The chicken was okay, but nothing better than anywhere else I've had grilled chicken before. Our waitress Jennifer was amazing. And when she asked how our experience was, she could see by the lack of food we had eaten, and the expression on my face, we were not impressed. We ended our meal with the tres leches cake that was very good. Overall, this place is a gimmicky tourist trap that over charges for their "atmosphere" and prays you get drunk off their $250 wine before you order. I thought for sure it would be decent, and was wrong. I would hate to see the quality in peak tourist season. Leaving hungry was not something I imagined.

You'll find Greek, Korean, Mexican, and classic American pub favorites all in one place--yet everything feels thoughtful and well-executed rather than all over the map.

I'm already looking forward to going back so I can try their bánh mì sandwich, which caught my eye on the menu. On my last visit, I ordered the gyro along with the curry fries; both were solid choices, with the fries having an especially nice kick. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and the staff delivers consistently friendly, attentive service. It's the kind of place where you can try something new every time you go and still walk away happy. I'll definitely be returning for another round. Bon appétit!
