    I really love the idea of offering three distinct Latin menus. Cuban, Mexican, and Spanish. We…read morekicked things off with chips and salsa, and I was seriously impressed. The salsa was hands-down the best I've had, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly textured, so it stayed on the chip (you know what I mean). Service was so kind and efficient! I ordered the seafood paella and was blown away by how fresh everything tasted. Even the single portion was filling and satisfying with leftovers. The paloma was a bit heavy on the liquor but if that's your thing, it's perfect! What stood out just as much as the food was the atmosphere. Even with families and young kids around, it still felt calm and relaxed. It's clear this is a spot the local community truly loves. I just started an Atlanta food list to share with friends, and this place is definitely going right at the top.

They also have outdoor seating. Jamaica drink was pretty good but went fast. I think no free refills. No pico but they have chunky, flavorful salsa and it wasn't too spicy. We were so hungry I forgot to take pics but I had the shrimp tacos and queso. We also had double rice and beans. Everything was a hit for us. My son was very happy the rice and beans weren't spicy but he didn't like the green garnish. I thought it was cute though lol Otherwise it was good. We spent less that $40 for the meal, drink, kids meal and queso. Not too bad. Quality and great tasting meal. Nice portion size. We will be back.

    First off I love me a good arepa! They were so kind as it was my first time…read more Presentation Ambiance Good food The ambiance resembled being outside. I was really impressed by the food presentation because a rice pyramid was not on the books this day but trust me when I say I wasn't mad at it and we enjoyed the taste even more! The arepa was out of this world. Just what I asked for! I love the sauce options. So good Must return and get it again I just didn't enjoy the dessert. Something about hot guava sauce wasn't my thing.

We've ordered the same dishes twice because they are so good: arepita frita: tiny fried arepas. Interestingly, these are just like what my family called fried cornbread growing up. It hit a nostalgic taste note for me. cachapa: a sweet corn pancake (has egg) filled with seasonal market veggies. I can't say enough good things about how those veggies are cooked. They are perfectly sauteed and seasoned. Next time I'm just getting a bowl of them. Lately it has been broccolini, kale, mushrooms, squash and zucchini. Empanadas: these are made to order so you can remove cheese from the filling. I don't even like sweet plantain but the combination of sweet plantain with the savory black beans in the crispy shell is perfection. These reheat well also. Guava juice is otherworldly. Soooo good. The food also holds up well for leftovers, if you have any!

We visited after a graduation celebration and were looking forward to a memorable meal. The experience got off to a rough start with hosts who were not particularly warm or welcoming. Once seated, things only went downhill. Our waiter seemed disorganized from the beginning. We ordered appetizers first, but they arrived at different times, and to make matters worse, the graduate in our party received her main entrée at the same time the rest of us were receiving appetizers. I politely explained that it didn't make sense for one guest to be eating her entrée while everyone else was still eating appetizers and waiting for their meals. His response was confusing and didn't really address the issue, so we let it go. Unfortunately, the graduate's steak was served cold. Rather than preparing a fresh one, the restaurant simply took it back and returned it about two minutes later. It appeared to be the exact same steak based on how we had left it when it was sent back, and while I'm not sure whether restaurants typically reheat food or prepare a new dish altogether, this one was reheated. To make matters worse, the graduate ended up with a stomachache after eating it. As we continued waiting, our entrées never arrived. The waiter was polite but extremely inattentive. We repeatedly had to flag him down because he rarely checked on our table. After a VERY long wait, I asked about the rest of our meals. At that point, he admitted that he had forgotten to place our entree orders altogether. He then had to take all of our orders again and submit them to the kitchen. By the time our food finally arrived, we were no longer hungry and were extremely frustrated, despite remaining patient and courteous throughout the entire experience. The entrées were decent, but nothing exceptional, especially considering the extremely excessive wait and service issues. The waiter did bring a small dessert for the graduate, which was a nice touch, but it felt more like a complimentary gesture because he had forgotten our entrées than a genuine celebration of the occasion, especially given how disastrous the overall experience had been. What should have been a joyful graduation celebration turned into an exhausting and disappointing dining experience. While the waiter was polite, the service was slow, disorganized, and lacking attention to detail. Overall, this was a poor first experience and not one I would be eager to repeat.

She was accommodating to my friend's request for them to close the door. She was also helped when we both expressed our Churrasco steaks were well done when we both ordered medium. She brought them back to the kitchen and had them remade. I forgot to take photos for those but I was chewing for way too long on the first bite and barely had any pink meat. A few other things we ordered were the crab cake and Brussel sprouts, which were both really good. I got the birria empanada, which unfortunately was not seasoned at all. It was fried to perfect tho. Overall it was an underwhelming experience and I would likely not return.
