Did not feel like any of the food had much in the way of flavor. If you like more bland food, I'm sure this would be great!

We did not try but they looked appealing.

We went here early evening Valentine's Day. They asked us if we had a reservation, which was…read morehilarious because the place was empty. The pros and cons of this location are listed below. Pros: Ample free parking. Lovely atmosphere kind of glam meets Hacienda. Interesting menu a cross between Tex-Mex and a grill. Tasty margaritas. Complimentary chips and salsa. Fun spots throughout for selfies. Decorated well for Valentine's Day. Large ample seating areas both front and back. Large welcoming bar. Live music, at least for the holiday. And an extra special Valentine's menu. Fun outdoor seating, as well, which I'm sure will be very enjoyable in good weather. Cons: The food was terribly bland. Everything was verrrrryyyyyy under seasoned. Even the salsa has nearly zero flavor. Even the chips needed to be salted, and we asked for salt to be brought to the table, and they never brought it. Also asked for a salted rim on my margarita, which did not happen. My husband had probably the worst tamale of his life. It had virtually no filling, and the masa was inedible. There you have it. It's a shame because the atmosphere is lovely but the food is not. I might go back for a drink or two. I will not, however, be going back for dinner.

If you turn onto St.Charles St., just keep driving. Ignore the industrial buildings until…read moreyou arrive at this small, innocuous-looking building that is this Cuban restaurant & bar. If I were to remove a star, it would be because of the exterior. But I'm not going to remove a star. Once again, I come to an ethnic restaurant that looks questionable on the outside. But as we all know, those are the restaurants that have the BEST food. So I entered the restaurant, bravely and was greeted immediately by a very friendly server, who offered me to sit in either the dining or the bar area. I chose the dining area because it had more light. The bar area was way too dark for my preference, but she explained that the state law required them to keep it dark (because it's a bar area). The bar area has seating along the bar itself, and at a few tables in the area. Plus, (and it's a big plus for me) there is a pool table and and music plays all the time. :-) So I tried the drink soursop (guanabana) which is a tropical fruit that tastes like a combination of strawberries and apples. I really enjoyed it! Try it on ice because it tastes better when it is cold, per the recommendation of my wonderful server. As an appetizer, she brought to me fried onion rings with an amazing creamy garlic sauce for dipping. I am ashamed to say that I inhaled those onion rings! I dipped each one dipped in the flavorful garlic sauce. For dinner I ordered the eight. The pork team sliced with caramelized onions on top it I could not believe how tender and flavorful the pork was. Just amazing scrumptious! It melted my mouth. Eating it along with the congri was just a delightful experience. The dish came with a side salad (chopped red cabbage over sliced tomatoes) that was nothing special , but it looked very pretty. Foolishly, I ordered a side on yucca. It comes with warm queso on the side. I tried the yucca dipped in the queso AND dipped in the creamy garlic sauce (that came with the appetizer onion rings). While I liked both flavors, I preferred the garlic sauce with the yucca (I'm just a sucker for garlic). As I said earlier, the flavors of the pork, caramelized onions and congri were the stars of this dish. The tasty food, efficient service and the friendly owner (who visited my table and talked to me while I waited for my food), almost makes me wish I lived here so that I could partake at my convenience. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. If you are ever close to here, you should try it also.

Food took a little time to come out but I expect that in-between busy times. We were the only ones eating for most of the time we were there. The appetizers were really good, we had croquettes and empanadas that were great. The meals were really good, the only problem we had was my wifes Ropa Vieja was dry. The owner stopped by asked how everything was and gave us a discount because I was wearing a USAF Veteran hat. I didn't ask for it or expect it but really appreciated that extra touch.

The beef in the fajitas is cooked extremely well done in sliver strips and had zero flavor. So if you're looking for plenty of food that you can doctor up yourself, this place has it. I had a spicy margarita and it was the best I've had in BG. And I try to get one every Mexican restaurant I go to. We also had the chorizo queso and it was great! Warm service, plenty of food, and great margs! Try it!
