Stumbled upon the place in Park circle and we were intrigued by the menu…read more We came in with a group of 5 girls and it wasn't too busy. We had A LOT of questions but our server was very helpful in explaining some of the dishes but more importantly the pictures helped greatly. The passionfruit and spicy marg were both delicious. We all tried something different when it came to the food so we could share. The trio empanadas were banging! Crispy outside and filling inside was tasty accompanied by 2 dipping sauces. You got one cheese, chicken and beef unless specified. My friend and I shared the "Max dog" which was topped with fried potato sticks, mozzarella cheese, pulled chicken, pulled beef and corn mixed in their house made tártara sauce, smoked bacon, and house made pineapple sauce. It was an epic hotdog for sure, a bit hard to eat so we had to break it down a bit lol it had a lot of textures and flavors. The mozzarella kind of fell off since it got hard so I really didn't eat it with the hot dog and enjoyed it as is. We also got a chicharrona arepa which was a Colombian Arepa (corn flat bread), pulled beef, chicharron (fried pork belly), sweet plantain, mozzarella cheese house made tártara sauce. If you haven't had an arepa it's a must try! If you love corn and protein then you will enjoy the maiz Bonito which was a bed of corn, layered with grilled chicken, gilled steak, smoked bacon, potato sticks, colombian sausage, mozarella cheese, tártara sauce, pineapple sauce. The pineapple sauce is delicious and helps cut through all the savoriness that can be a bit overwhelming. Lastly my friend also had the chuleta which was a t bone steak grilled and topped with chimichurri. The only thing I will say with the service was that we didn't see our server after the entrees were dropped and had a hard time finding her when we were trying to get boxes and pay. Eventually someone else assisted us and found her but it was quite a delay towards the end. Overall we did enjoy our experience here with this cuisine and I actually came back not too long after with a different group of friends. I do think the pace of service can improve as a whole.

Newly expanded and remodeled, same great and authentic Southamerican food. The place was very small…read moreand always packed. They've now closed the store and doubled the size of the restaurant. There is plenty of sitting space, less wait, and more good eating! The only mystery here is that they stopped serving COFFEE. WHY????? A good breakfast is not complete without coffee. Come on, guys, what's the deal? They even used to serve hot milk for your coffee and regular cold milk for the kids... as of today, it's gone. When and if you bring coffee and milk back, I will change my rating to 5 stars... until then, you get 4 because coffee or not, the food is still great.

La comida esta rico…read more I'm choosing to leave this review in English in hopes that more non Spanish speaker give this place a try. Definitely, on of the better Spanish food restaurants outisde of the Mexican restaurants littered all over Charleston. I always get the "Bandeja Paisa" typically a Columbian dish but the make it pretty good here and since I don't know of any Columbia restaurants in the area. I'm all in.

My only complaint would be that the sweet tea was more of a northern sweet tea where they probably poured sugar in after the tea is already cooled. I would definitely skip then sweet tea if you are expecting a southern sweet tea. The staff was friendly and sweet. They gave us pitchers of our drinks for refills so we didn't have to wait for them. Our waitress was also able to split the check evenly between us without a fuss. Overall it was an enjoyable experience and I would recommend for the food.

Different cuisine, more Mexican and seafood than Latin fusion. Low quality ingredients and a flat menu. The charming interior design is also remodeled to something much different.

I used to make it a point to stop here every time I'm in town for work--but after this experience,…read moreI won't be coming back. Last night I placed a large order: burrito de birria, two tamales, pozole, large bag of chips , guacamole, drinks . After driving 30 minutes back to my hotel, I opened the bag to find the tamales were completely missing. Then I tried the pozole, and it was so salty it was absolutely inedible. On top of that, they didn't include a single condiment--just a bland, overly salty soup. I tried calling for 30 minutes straight--no answer. Left a voicemail--no call back. Not that night, not the next morning. Completely ignored. The next day, I went in person to give them a chance to make it right. I had my order number and explained everything clearly. Instead of even attempting to help, they refused to do anything without a physical receipt. No effort to look up the order, no accountability, no customer care. Just excuses. Expecting someone to drive 30 minutes back with uneaten food just to prove a mistake is ridiculous. I ended up having to go to Wendy's just to eat dinner after spending money here--that alone says everything. Mistakes happen, but the way a business handles them is what matters. This place clearly doesn't care once they have your money. This wasn't my first issue here, but it will definitely be my last. Antes hacía un punto de parar aquí cada vez que estaba en la ciudad por trabajo--pero después de esta experiencia, no vuelvo. Anoche hice un pedido grande: burrito de birria,dos tamales, pozole, bolsa de chips guacamole y bebidas. Después de manejar 30 minutos de regreso a mi hotel, abrí la bolsa y me di cuenta de que los tamales no estaban. Luego probé el pozole y estaba tan salado que era completamente incomible. Para colmo, no incluyeron ni un solo complemento--solo la sopa, sin nada más. Intenté llamar durante 30 minutos seguidos--nadie contestó. Dejé un buzón de voz--nadie me regresó la llamada. Ni esa noche, ni a la mañana siguiente. Totalmente ignorado. Al día siguiente fui en persona para darles la oportunidad de arreglar la situación. Tenía mi número de orden y expliqué todo claramente. En lugar de ayudar, se negaron a hacer algo porque no tenía el recibo físico. Ni siquiera intentaron buscar la orden, cero responsabilidad, cero atención al cliente. Puras excusas. Esperar que alguien maneje 30 minutos de regreso con comida que ni siquiera se puede comer es ridículo. Terminé teniendo que ir a Wendy's solo para poder cenar después de haber gastado dinero aquí--eso lo dice todo. Los errores pasan, pero la forma en que un negocio responde es lo que realmente importa. Aquí claramente no les importa el cliente una vez que ya pagaste. No es la primera vez que tengo un problema aquí, pero definitivamente será la última.

We have gone during their Paella Sunday & Oyster Roast events and spent beautiful late afternoons outside with friends. They offer a great variety of wine to pair with the food. We got to experience a few different wine tastings. These might have moved offside with their second location but were fun and educational. Thursday Burrito special is a great way to explore their different offering. And almost always there is enough for.the next day.

We made a reservation, but ordered at the counter. We ordered a handful of dishes to share. The girl was very helpful and giving us a separate gluten-free menu that allowed us to order for my husband. This place is a Latin/Asian infusion so we were very excited to see how the flavors played out since it is two of our favorite types of food. The best thing I had was the special, stir fried udon noodles with the steak. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the chili spice on it was amazing and it wasn't overly sauced. The steak that accompanied it was also delicious. The tomato cucumber salad was fresh, but could've used a little more salt in my opinion. The bao bun and tacos were also nice and great portions. I would say for me I didn't love the pad Thai in comparison to the many that I've had before, because it was a bit different in flavor profiles than what I'm used to. I wanted a little bit more of the fish sauce and tamarin flavor. You have to get their milkshakes, I'm sure all of them are great. But the one we have was absolutely decadent and delicious! We had more than enough food, and ended up taking a lot of it home. They were multiple people helping us, and they were all very nice and friendly. I'm coming back for the udon noodle dish!

I got the house margarita for $5.50 and then I also got an L pastor taco for five dollars as well as the fresh chips and also for $1 dollar. I'm not sure you can beat this pricing for happy hours after work!! A gentleman behind the bar is very knowledgeable about his menu and what is on the happy hour menu. The ambience in here feels like a mom and pop Spanish restaurant. They have a patio lighting as well as a really cool mural. They have some use of reclaimed wood and different types of furniture. I haven't gotten my food yet, but I like this vibe. It's very chill and relaxed. They have all of their tequilas out behind the bar so you can see which ones they have. The only downside is the way they taste has their drinks to make sure they're the correct tasting wise. The gentleman in the baseball cap and the other gentleman pour the drink onto the back of their hand, and then put their hands in their mouth to taste the drink and I feel like they could just do the straw method because what if their fingers that they're using to shake your drink with I just it's kind of like disgusting to watch. 10/10 Definitely returning for the drinks and sitting at a table next time!!!

Pollo Loko - North Charleston, SC…read more The wife and I stopped into Pollo Loko for a quick lunch, not expecting much... and wow, what a surprise this place turned out to be. First off, the customer service was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel appreciated from the moment we walked in. You don't always get that kind of attention these days, so it really stood out. The restaurant itself was spotless, well-kept, and had a great vibe. You can tell they take pride in the place. Now let's talk about the food -- because this is where they really shine. We started with the empanadas, which were absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick things off. For our main, we ordered the Peruvian chicken, served with fries and rice, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired incredibly well with their signature sauces -- seriously, those sauces take everything to another level. Even the salad was fresh and tasty, which says a lot because that's usually an afterthought at most places. On top of that, they've got a great selection of sodas and other drinks, making it a perfect stop for a casual lunch. Bottom line: An unexpected gem with amazing food, top-tier service, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. **Highly recommend -- 5 stars, 3 thumbs up from us.

This is a fast casual style restaurant and not a real fancy place. My picky colleague who's never had peruvian ordered the ribs. Quesadiladas - you get 2 in an order and these are different than Mexican ones since they have grilled bell peppers and onions. A bit pricy too...the rice and beans that come with this are just average. They only had 2 salsas for the table, a green ranch like one and a red spicy one similar to a spicy Mexican red sauce. I'm still looking for a peruvian restaurant that has the spicy green sauce that most all peruvian restaurants have in California.
