It took a good 5 to 10 minutes for a server to come over with water and introduce herself. We got the plantains which came with a dipping sauce that was pretty watery. The plantains were OK and came quickly. I got the mango salad with grilled chicken, which was good but not great. The place did not seem very crowded. However, the service was atrocious. The server was very nice and I'm not sure if she was the only server there. Getting water refills, which is pretty important was far and few between. She also never asked if we wanted dessert. if you're in the area the place is decent, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

I had Churrasco which came with yellow rice and black beans. It was incredible, and I always get a tad scared with skirt steaks being overcooked but it was the perfect medium with grilled marks. The chimichurri was great too. I am nit-picking here but a little more salt and pepper on everything would of been great. Don't come with out having the sangria, they pack a punch!

I ordered a half baked chicken with white rice and beans because I was craving good fresh chicken. What I received was extremely disappointing. The chicken was incredibly dry hard and almost impossible to bite into. This was not slightly overcooked. It was clearly old and had been sitting too long. There were several chickens still in the warmer and anyone cutting and serving it could see immediately that it was not good enough to give to a customer. By the time I got home and opened the container I was shocked. The chicken looked terrible and tasted worse. Dry tough and flavorless. The entire reason I came here was for good baked chicken and instead I was served something that should never have left the counter. When you are serving food that late you still have a responsibility to serve quality or to say it is no longer fresh. I would have preferred honesty over being given food that was clearly past its prime. Imagine having to spend $15 and then you get home to unwind and encounter this? Very disappointed and I will think twice before referring anyone.

We also asked for the check 10 minutes before the game ended, and we just saw the waitress walking back and forth into the kitchen and out of it. Finally, she took a glance over our table and remembered we asked for it. Waitress at this restaurant should be better trained and have a better synchronized system with the tvs. Not recommended if you're going to see a sports game.

The only thing in the restaurant to help with the heat was one big fan at the back.

I did not have a problem with the gratuity itself. My issue was with the way he responded when I changed my mind about staying and asked about the gratuity. He rolled his eyes and handled the situation with an attitude that was completely unnecessary. I eventually had to get my own food from the counter. The rice was dyed red, and when I asked whether it contained pork, his response was unnecessarily aggressive: "Does it have pork?" I was simply asking a reasonable question about the ingredients in my food. When I asked him to stop speaking to me because I was trying to de-escalate the situation, he continued arguing with me as if he needed to prove a point. I had already made it clear that I did not want to continue the conversation, yet he continued. Again, the gratuity was not the issue. It was the way I was spoken to and treated as a customer. After coming out of work just trying to have lunch, this experience was incredibly frustrating. Unfortunately, this was my first visit and will also be my last. The service and attitude completely ruined the experience. Customers should be treated with basic courtesy and respect.
