To my surprise when the counter called my name there were two 1/2 white chicken orders. I think that needs to be made more clear, also the kiosk doesn't allow any options for substitutions of any of the sides. That is the first issue. Biggest issue. Once I explain the issue at the counter, they advise me that because I odered at the kiosk, they can't process a refund at all. So I am stuck with two orders. It makes no sense that the counter person can't issue a refund. What if the food is bad, or gets returned, etc? No options. Hopefully management can review this and make improvements. I almost forgot, I found a hair on the black beans, which they promptly replaced.

The rotisserie chicken stood out, juicy, flavorful, and probably the highlight of the meal. Portions were decent and filling, but the overall experience felt a bit like fast food, quick service, simple presentation, and not much ambiance. It served its purpose: a casual, satisfying meal when you're hungry and on the go. Wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, but if you're nearby and craving something hearty and quick, it's worth a try.

Once you get past that part, the place is actually nice and the atmosphere is good. The food? Honestly, very good. No complaints there. But... for the prices they charge, I expected a little less "fast food" and a little more "we care." Drinks came in plastic cups--at these prices, I was hoping for at least a real glass, maybe even a little dignity. When I asked for a container for leftovers, I was politely sent on a scavenger hunt to grab my own from a table. So yes, good food, cool space--but overpriced for the experience and the service model. If I'm paying premium prices, I'd love premium service... or at least a glass cup. Three stars: come for the food, stay because you already paid

Searched food around us and this place popped up. Enough parking in front, it's in a strip plaza. It's really nicely decorated, simple and stunning. It wasn't very busy. Not a very big place, enough seating for at least 20 people, maybe more. Not ideal for large parties. Our waiter/bartender/cashier (that one guy did everything!) was so pleasant and hustled around in no time at all to serve everyone. He always had a smile on his face despite how busy he was. We ordered 2 different hamburgers and oh my gosh were they good! Don't be afraid of that garlic sauce, it's not overly garlicky at all :) The hamburgers were cooked to perfection and all the toppings were delicious! Bravo to the chef! Everything was reasonably priced. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will be back when we're in the area and also try some of the Colombian treats.

Realmente era mucho mejor años atrás, ha desmejorado mucho. Sus precios son excesivos. Los muchachos que atienden son bastante amables pero el dueño deja mucho que desear. Detalles como abrir una caja y mostrarte una cachapa recién hecha para luego llegar a casa y descubrir que las que estan en la caja de abajo estan crudas, viejas o recalentadas en microondas molesta mucho. El hecho de que el joven que te atiende te este dando una cachapa mientras el dueño le grita en frente tuya: " es cachapa con queso NO QUESO CON CACHAPAAA!!! molesta también. Que te carguen $4 dolares más por un extra queso en la cachapa y llegues a casa y no solo no lo tiene, si no que el regular brilla por su ausencia molesta bastante. Cuando compras una Susi o un cocosete el 20% más caro que en el publix y parece de cartón...descubres que la fecha de expiración muestra que esta vencido..........., Cuando venden una botella de ponche crema en $30 dolares en el 2008 estando en $13 en todas las licorerias de Weston. A las empanadas hay que buscarles el queso con microscopio. Lamento que desmejorara tanto, por que antes aunque sus precios eran igual de altos, era mejor comida y servicio. El dueño devería disimular las ganas de obtener tu dinero a cualquier precio. Positivo: Cuando hacen bien la cachapa, es muy buena, lastima que tengas que provar 5 veces antes y no pedirla para llevar. Los muchachos que atienden son bastante agradables. read more

We were told to sit anywhere, which was fine, but then we ordered 2 waters and a passion fruit margarita and waited almost 30 minutes just to get them. On top of that, the drink order was wrong. She served us what tasted like salty mango juice -- and I say "juice" because there was absolutely no alcohol in it. Then we ordered a simple meal: a few chicken tacos, pork tacos, and an order of chicharrón. Somehow that still took 30-45 minutes, and the order was missing items when it finally arrived. That's crazy for an order of 4 chicken tacos and 4 pork tacos. The tacos honestly weren't even that good either. The only thing that was actually good was the chicharrón. People always say "good food takes time," and sure, that's understandable when a restaurant is busy. But this place wasn't even halfway full. There were plenty of open tables inside and outside, so the wait made no sense -- especially considering the food wasn't worth it.

Met with the super friendly barista Astrid (hope im saying her name right since there was a language barrier) who advised me on Google translate, that the pastries in the display case on the counter was not prepared this morning, so that was a bummer, but the chicken and the tiny cheese empanadas were ready fresh for human consumption and the Pan de Bono would be ready in twenty minutes. No light breakfast for me today, only a large espresso prepared from Mazzucco Italian coffee beans. It was satisfying and provided a nice bold taste and a jolt. One of the drink specials advertised was the $5 Margaritas and 5/$25 Beers. On Saturdays and Sundays the 2 for $30 entree deal looked interesting. The rear of the dining room included a second business called Viamericas and Zia Cargo which were a courier and money transfer companies. I guess they sub-lease the space, not sure. The gender assigned bathrooms were clean with a wall painting and a corner pedestal added to the decor. My table had a used candy wrapper which kept eye balling me while I sipped my coffee.
