Let me start my review by saying the food was really good and worthy of a 5 star rating on its own…read more BUT...my experience with this resturant is a classic example of how service can just take away from the food quality. My work colleagues and I were greeted by a friendly host and sat at a table. But everything from service went down hill from there when our actual table server arrived. We were immediately greeted with "You ready", with a frowned face. We asked for water with lemon (never received) and was later served water from a pitcher (without lemons) only later to see an adjacent table served water from a picture with lemon and orange slices. Didn't make much of that. But when our waiter returned to take our order the second time, again with the same "you ready" frown faced I asked for help with the menu. I could hear her sigh so loud I wanted not to believe the feeling that we were bothering her in some way; and there was maybe only a quarter of the tables with customers. After placing our orders I asked my colleagues if they were getting the same vibe as I was from her and they both felt the same way. From my seating angle I could see this young lady server when she approached the front bar/seating area of the restaurant; which appeared to be where the other waiters all gathered when waiting. But I noticed her smiling and engaging in friendly conversation with two customers sitting at the bar. I noticed this difference from how she treated us vs these other guest throughout the entire time. With them she was smiling, engaging and not in any flirtatious way, but seemingly just being nice....being a good waiter. Clearly she was choosing NOT to be nice to us, and this bothered me internally because I did not know why. Our friendly greeter from when we arrived was seen serving another table and whose behavior was consistently friendly with everyone. So why the difference with our waiter I kept asking myself. I still gave a generous tip despite this service. It was important to me to do so, but I probably won't be back here, and this would have been a nice place to go back to with mi amor.

We were in Lake Worth earlier than usual and decided we'd better have lunch first before doing the…read morerest of our errands. This restaurant came up as close by on our yelp app. It's not far from the turnpike on the south side of Lake Worth Road. We used to come to this busy shopping center/strip of stores years ago. There was a Thai/French restaurant my mom liked. It's no longer, but the small movie theater and a number of other new to us restaurants are here now (that we plan to try sometime). There was ample free parking out front. The door was open to the restaurant and we noticed the air wasn't working. We decided to stay anyway and sat under one of the ceiling fans. Later, they also turned on a floor fan so it was comfortable. There is a high top counter, a high top table, and a few regular tables. It is well lighted inside. They don't have a printed menu (it's online btw), but it is featured on a video on a tv screen in the corner by the food counter. There was also a sign with their lunch specials on the window. We decided to choose one of their specials. They cost $5.99 and come with rice, a bit of salad, plantains (which is a fried tostado), and your choice of meat. I chose griot -- fried pork and my husband chose their stewed turkey. The other two choices were stewed chicken or fried chicken. A canned soda also comes with it. Meals are cooked and/or are finished to order, so this is not a fast food restaurant. So plan accordingly. The food portion is large and a bargain for the price. I wound up taking half my rice (which has red beans in it) home for a later meal. My grilled pork pieces were tender and flavorful. I didn't use much of the spicy cabbage on the side. I gave it to my husband who loves spicy food. We added their ranch salad dressing to the salad -- and it was a good palate cooler. My husband's stewed turkey came in a bowl with a nice amount of slightly spicy sauce. The meat was tender and tasty as well. He had the same rice and salad as I had on my plate. We got to meet the owner/chef who came out from the kitchen to greet us and thank us for dining with them. It was a nice appreciated gesture. We'd definitely come back -- I still need to try a couple more of their lunch specials plus explore other items on their menu.

It's a four-star, easy, with two things: Air Conditioning. I came on a 90 degree day, and it was easily 85 degrees inside. Located west of Jog Road, no Bahama breezes. So y'all need to get the air working, at least to keep the air in the mid seventies. Menus. I'm good with running out of the paper ones. They need more on the walls. Hard to order without them. The restaurant was otherwise clean and comfortable. My meal was excellent! The people there are very nice! I look forward to returning to see the last couple of things added to get this authentic restaurant into the fast lane. Then, I can focus on the food, and not feel like I earned 10 days in the sweat box...

I ordered the birria tacos, which came with a cheese shell on the outside. That part I didn't love. The cheese was too crispy and partially burnt--just not my thing. I would've preferred the cheese stay silky on the inside where it belongs. The flavor was there, but the execution took away from it for me. The hairy heffa I was with ordered a Chipotle-style bowl and a dessert, and both looked really good. No complaints from her. Aesthetics-wise, this place is super cute and flair well executed. Super nice vibe, great decor, and the service was good. And let's be real--the picture wall with the phone? Come on now. You already know I took pics. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again. I'm hardly ever in Wellington and the spot is kinda tucked away but if you're nearby, it's a cool spot with a nice bar, good service, and solid vibes. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

We also ordered the Chicken Adobo lunch combo and the BBQ Pork lunch combo. Both dishes came on the same plate for us to share, which means the portion size is not big. The chicken is dry and salty, but the BBQ Pork has a nice flavor. The pandit and white rice that comes with the combo are ok, pandit can use more flavor. Wish it is better that I can return. There is a section on the side that sells groceries too, so if you want to eat at the restaurant and then go home to cook, it'll be convenient.
