Their staff keep their restaurant clean by wiping tables in between customers. There is plentiful seating, but note that this is a popular place to eat! Rice was flavorful, and the chicken was moist. The only thing is that I'd do dressing on the side for my salad as mine was soaked with dressing. For those thinking about that Costco roast chicken, it just isn't the same! I highly recommend it for all folks looking for a hearty meal for a decent price! If I'm ever in Madison again, I hope to try their Lomo Saltado!

I came for lunch with a friend and the experience was good! I can see why it is considered a staple. The space itself is large. Bigger than you would expect and has a decent amount of seating and very cute decor. It felt Disney esc and like they were trying to get you to have some interaction and immersion. The service was top notch. Our server was very attentive, informative, and friendly. She did forget to give us the lunch specials menu, but quickly got it when we asked, which PROTIP, there is a lunch special but it's not on the main menu at all. Now, lets talk about the food. We ordered the following - - Beef Empanada: Small, but mighty. Packed full of shredded beef and fried to the top degree, almost edging on too crispy, but realistically can there be too much? Like I said, it was small for $3.75, but was piping hot and I loved the cilantro dip that came with it. -Arroz Con Pollo : Super Flavorful rice that is piping hot when it comes out. I'm not a fan of plantains usually but these were fantastic and went well with the meal. The lunch doesn't come with Fries or a drink, but the amount of rice you get is enough to fill you up -Pechuga al Limon: Fried chicken with a buttery lemony sauce on top. This was a massive dish that also came with fries and salad. -Hazelnut Latte: Not too much hazelnut, lots of milk Overall, I'd probably give them closer to a 3.5, but rounded up as the food was good and the experience was solid. If I'm on the east side I would consider meeting up with a friend there, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

It was a cold day outside and it seems that they need to do some improvements in this place. We were freezing the entire time we were there. Actually had to eat with our jackets on! They had a space heater by our table but it put out zero heat! The place was also pretty dirty. Now for the food review...super basic and bland. Potatoes were kinda hard, omelet bland and pancakes seemed like they came out of a box. The staff was pleasant and the guy who delivered our food was very polite but unfortunately, that's not enough to encourage us to come back. We really expected more out of a place with "bakery" in its name. Super disappointing.
