Very nice place to have a meal and spend quality time with tour friends and family. Love the…read moreatmosphere the place exudes. GPS routed me to the other side of the building which was a bunch of offices but I kept driving and found the Refuge around the corner. Had I waited one road to turn Ii would have pulled into their parking lot. My mistake or rather my GPS' mistake. E we were a very large group of people and they were very accommodating. We had several tables set up and actually had another person show up and they quickly added another table for us. Everything was served in waves which kept things flowing and allowed us all to catch up on talking. Appetizers were excellent. The fried calamari especially, these are probably the best I have had as they were not as chewy as most other places. Great job. Entrees came out and we were amazed at the portions and taste of the meals. Excellent dining experience. Have to mention the bathroom area as there are all down a corridor with a small room for each toilet area. Comfortable and private. Overall a great place to dine and socialize.

Sandwiches were poor. Someone in charge of the food needs to taste what they're serving. Seems like the recipes are well conceived, but execution falls short.

La Mesa is so good…read more Located in a small parking lot with an unassuming storefront, La Mesa is exactly what you'd consider a hidden gem. When you walk in you're immediately greeted by a smell of delicious food and a beautiful and quirky interior. They have many drinks and snacks based on the Filipino and El Salvadorian roots of the restaurant! We've had many items off the menu but our favorites are the tocilog, longaniza, garlic rice, and tamal de elote. Portions are large and always fresh. Everyone who works here is also very nice and accommodating. They always substitute garlic rice when requested which I appreciate.

We enjoyed the food at La Mesa. Everything was fresh just prepared right in front of you.read more

The breaded steak was hot crispy and also as big as the plate. Too much to finish in one sitting. Everything was delicious. We definitely will be back

Come hungry... seriously. The portions at Sabor a Colombia are no joke! Most of our table ordered…read moresteak while one person went with chicken, and those steaks came out sizzling, which definitely made an entrance. If you're starving, go ahead and grab an appetizer. If you're just normally hungry, skip it because the entrées are more than enough. I had the steak with mushrooms and onions. The steak itself was cooked well, but I would've loved more mushrooms, and personally I think it would pair much better with rice and beans instead of French fries. The chicken options also felt a little limited compared to the long list of steak dishes. The appetizers could use some love too. Three empanadas on a plate and calling it an appetizer felt a little... phoned in. Give us a little flair! Service was a bit confusing because it seemed like everyone was helping every table, so we never really knew who our actual server was. We asked for the check because we had a show to get to, got an "okay," and then watched our server head over to another table first. Cue everyone checking their watches. The drinks were tasty, but I'm still on the fence about whether they were freshly made or not. Overall? It was a decent experience. The portions are generous, the steaks are the star of the menu, and there's definitely potential here. Would I rush back? Maybe not. Would I tell you not to go? Also no. This is one of those places where you'll have to grab a fork and decide for yourself.

My friend and I were in the area, hungry, and stumbled upon this gem on Jericho turnpike. We…read morethought the name was funny and the outside of the premises looked really nice so we pulled in. Upon entering it felt like we were going into some exclusive nightclub. The outdoor dining section is covered and beautifully decorated with tropical flowers and plants. It looks like something from the Caribbean. If the weather was cooperative we would've asked to sit outside. The inside ambiance was nice too. There's a lot of natural light that comes in from the large windows and skylight. Again flowers and chandeliers adorn the space. There are also decorative carving figures mounted in the back wall. A DJ came in and was mixing Latin music which gave an upbeat vibe. I truly felt like I was on vacation in the Dominican Republic. The food was even better than the ambiance. We really were sure what we wanted to order but after speaking with our waitress we both ordered Mama Fango stuffed with meat. This is a dish consisting of sweet plantains mashed, seasoned, and fried into a little bowl shape then stuffed with your meat of choice. I went with the white chicken. The flavors were complex and overall delicious. The white sauce is like an Alfredo with cilantro. It is a very filling dish and I ate every last bite. My friend ordered the same but filled with churrasco. The meat was tender and rich with flavor. If you are celebrating a birthday, then this is the place to be. They make such a scene with light up signs and cakes and singing... the whole place becomes a party. I've never seen anything like this before and it was great! My Cuatro Leches cake came with a candle and happy birthday written in raspberry jam across the plate. The caramel top was a nice touch and complimented the cake well. The best part was the service. Our waitress, Laura really made this visit special. She was upbeat and attentive. She had excellent recommendations and was very accommodating. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend to others!
