Extremely Disappointing…read more It's pretty hard to confuse chicharrón de pollo with bistec encebollado, yet somehow this restaurant managed to do exactly that. I called ahead to confirm they had chicharrón de pollo, drove 15 minutes, placed a simple order of chicharrón de pollo with white rice and red beans, and waited another 15 minutes for it. After I got home, they called to tell me they had given me the wrong order and asked me to drive back to fix their mistake. Absolutely not. Sure enough, I opened the bag and got bistec encebollado with white rice and no beans. I put it in the fridge and cooked something else. This isn't the first time they've messed up my order. I've given them the benefit of the doubt more than once, but enough is enough. The quality and service keep getting worse. Maybe it's time to go back to the food truck where it all started -- because whatever they're doing now clearly isn't working.

The dining room is spacious and well decorated. The server was nice, helpful, and joked around with us during ordering. We ordered a mojito and a passion fruit margarita. My husband said his mojito was good and refreshing. My margarita was ok, a little bland to me but drinkable. For food I ordered a steak sandwich, my husband ordered roast pork with yellow rice and beans. We also ordered a bifongo to share. Once we received our food it was hot and the presentation was nice. The roast pork and rice was well seasoned and tasted great. The steak sandwich was packaged well and was tasty, one of the best steak sandwiches I've had in a long time. The bifongo was soft and you could taste both the sweet plantains and regular plantains perfectly. The bifongo was so tasty on its own it didn't need the sauce it came with. The restaurant is well decorated, the servers helpful and friendly and the food was seasoned to perfection. I would like to come back and try more menu items.

This is our second time there. The mofongo is very good. I recommend that with chicken broth…read morealthough we did have to ask for another cup of broth bc they don't give you enough... at least not enough for us. We opted for the pork chunks, rice, beans, and "salad". All good except the "salad" was some shredded cabbage and half of a small slice of tomato. That was very disappointing. It was even served on the same plate as the main course. The last time we were there we had a male server who, while not overly friendly was attentive and did a pretty good job for us. This time, unfortunately, we did not fare as well. The female server we had today came almost to the point of being rude as she talked to us and how she handed things to us; they were thrown on the table, actually, not even handed to us. If we did not like the food and based our return just on her actions we would not return. However, next time we will be sure to not have her serve us because the food is good enough that we do want to return. I do recommend the food it really is very good however they need to improve their service. Most of this time this chick was talking to the other workers with her back to us and never once came back to see if we needed anything. I actually had to call her to get her to attend to us. By the way, they do automatically add on a 15% tip and maybe this is why she could care less whether we were served well or not. I do hope that's not the case. The restaurant is open all 7 days but in the afternoon the way the Sun hits the door it looks like it is not open. They need to put something out there that shows that they are open maybe one of the employee cars or two in front of it so it signals that someone is there. A car left right before we got there because they thought it was closed I'm sure. Then another one came in and kind of watched to see what we would do because we did get down and go to the door and open it. Once they saw that they also parked and came in. I don't doubt they've lost some business because of people thinking they were closed. Four stars for good food, no star for service.

The DJ has an amazing playlist and is completely open to playing anything, making for a fun evening. However, the waitstaff really dropped the ball. Despite the restaurant not being busy, their servers were unattentive. We had to ask for napkins multiple times, and eventually had to walk up to the bar myself to refill our water carafe. Considering the food was just 'good at best' and the dishes are a bit overpriced, the lack of basic table service makes it hard to recommend or return. ** Gratuity is already included in the bill **

It was during the World Cup season, so they were playing the game on the TVs and the audio for the game was being broadcast. We got seated in a four-top table that seemed a little bit in the way of everyone, since it was by the exit door and bar area. We came on a Tuesday, so we inquired about any taco Tuesday deals they might have. They didn't have a menu or anything for it, so we had to hear about it from our server: $3.50 for regular tacos and $4.50 for premium tacos. Overall, the prices were a little high for their drinks and food. My brother ordered their specialty steak tacos which came with two and a side of rice and beans for around $18. My husband ordered their chicken burrito for $16 and my cousin and I ordered from their taco Tuesday spread. The tacos were tasty. The chicken burrito was okay, but definitely a large portion size. We also got guacamole for $13 to share as well as a mule for $13. Overall, I'm not sure I'd return. Even though the tacos were tasty, I think there's a lot of other places that do tacos well and better. The food took a bit of time to come out and I think there's better places to grab drinks at more reasonable prices.

It wasn't like that here though. EXPENSIVE!! Almost $12 for an arepa that was ok at best. Their empanadas are small yet they ask $5 for them but the real kicker... check out the pictures of their desserts. Burnt, old, and disgusting. The 2 desserts were $13 with tax and we ended up having to throw them out in the trash.

This place is still getting it's feet wet in the Avalon Marketplace, but so far, so good. For first timers, we got a little bit of everything. I had an empanada which was nicely stuffed, a side of rice and beans which was separated and plentiful and a chicken pincho (aka skewer which I learned down the road at Willie's Pinchos from DDD) which was pretty tasty and served with a fried plantain disc and a crunch AF chicharron! The Mrs. ordered the Chicken Mofongo which she enjoyed. The chicken on that dish was different than the chicken pincho. The menu was pretty basic for a new opening, but the dude taking orders that they plan on some more stuff as they continue to grow. And nothing helps you grow, like a smooth, soft opening.
