I happened upon this restaurant while on a early evening meandering through downtown Sarasota…read more Not wanting to cook and having a taste for something different, I scanned tge menu and spied several entres that I thought would serve my appetite well. The wait for a table was only a few minutes. I was escorted to a table in a section that they just opened. Since the section was just open there was a clear scramble to get staff situation and the table set But no worries, within a few minutes I had a drink in my hand and chips on the table. I ordered the enchilada. The presentation was lovely, the food looked appealing and was served hot. The food lived up to its look. A mighty favorable bite was had. The service was a tad hit or miss, alternating between overly attentive to absent.

The pico de gallo was very good, but very small for the price $7 - for a third of a small container, maybe a couple of heaping tablespoons. Also very hot. The fish and shrimp fajita was good, but very expensive for what you got. The 2 enchiladas (1 beef, 1 cheese) with enchilada sauce was just ok. A strange orange color. Not a lot of flavor. Removing the beans doubled the rice, which was good but the rice was just good, nothing exciting. Overall, very expensive for underwhelming meals.

We also found out they only use blue corn, which I have never come across at a restaurant before and I think we were all big fans of that! We had a table of four and ended up ordering esquites and guacamole as apps to share. The both came with warm, fresh blue corn perfectly salted chips. Everyone enjoyed both the dips. The corn in the esquites was a bit sweeter than I would have liked for a dip with chips. For our main dishes, two people ordered the chicken quesadilla and then two of us ordered 2 tacos each (octopus, blackened grouper, carne asada & sweet potato. The quesadillas were enjoyed. My friend really liked that the carne asada was petit filet; she also had the sweet potato taco and said it was well seasoned. I had the octopus and grouper. The octopus was good and thought it paired well with the napa cabbage, pico & micro cilantro. The grouper I was unfortunately not a fan of... It tasted fishy, which really took me by surprise. After tasting it, I had wished I would have chose the oxtail instead. I did really like that napa cabbage was used as a nice green crunch on some of the tacos rather than icky shredded iceberg! There is limited indoor seating; there are a few tables and a small bar. There is also outdoor seating. For the bathroom, you have to go around the restaurant to the back. Just a friendly heads up for planning your visit.

From the moment you walk in, you can literally smell the difference -- everything here is homemade, fresh, and full of the kind of flavor you only get when someone actually cares about the food they're serving. Every dish tastes like it was made from scratch in a real kitchen, not pulled out of a freezer or microwaved like far too many places do. The meats are perfectly seasoned, the tortillas taste freshly pressed, and even the sides have that "made today, not last week" feel. You can tell they're using real ingredients and family recipes, not shortcuts. What really sets this spot apart is the consistency. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, the food hits every single time. The freshness, the seasoning, the textures -- it's all on point. You can taste the pride in every dish. If you want authentic Hispanic food that blows the big "high-rated" places out of the water, this is the one. Once you try it, everything else feels average.

With the beef and sauce, it had more Nopa, which are sliced cactus than it did meat and the meat was Ray thin and very tough, and the sauce kind of flavorless. The rice was pathetic and the beans were just OK but a very small serving and the cheese wasn't even melted. The other dish ordered was the chicken and enchiladas in the brown sauce, I forget what it's called. I ordered the Jamaica and I wanted a picture but they didn't have that they just had the cup. The food was really lousy. I spent between tax and tip for two meals $46 and some change and on the drive home I just felt so disappointed and ripped off. I don't even know why a boxed up the leftovers cause there's no chance in hell that I'm gonna really gonna eat it. And it wasn't enough steak in there to be a dinner and so I just stopped off at the drive-through at Culver's and order two hamburger patties, which is so far better than anything I had at that restaurant for over $46. I'm never going back and I don't even know how they had a five star review unless they had some friends and family put that up there cause I'm giving them a one star and it's not even worth that.
