My order: cortado, breakfast arepa with plantains, and a carrot/ginger juice because I just got off a cruise and my stomach was still feeling a way. Very nice to have REAL FOOD again. My heart and stomach both left here full to the brim. Thanks! Note: it does come with more plantains but I was too hungry lol

The place is also really small. It's almost like a little hole in the wall. The BEST things offered, were the agua fresca and the guacamole.... Which the guac and chips were $16. Crazy price honestly. But the flavor definitely made up for it. But as for my entree, I chose the steak and shrimp combo. The shrimp stuck to the shell, the steak was dry and a bit flavorless (it's a t bone... and I have pork chops at the house that are much thicker). The rice in the dish? Amazing. I would only change the amount of garlic used, as it was extremely powerful. Ended up spending $100 on lunch to not truly enjoy it. I'm not bashing the place by any means. I just hope that kitchen changes a few things.

We ordered a few things and everything was delicious. The arepas were my favorite and the Cuban sandwich was good. The flan was absolutely standout, and much appreciated after so many bad flans I have had in the city. The chef even came out to help me with some menu questions I had which I appreciated. The restaurant is small and quaint. It was packed by the time we were leaving and it was nice to be in such a lively place. My only recommendation would be better training of staff. Several times things were reached over, and the server did not understand my questions or have knowledge about menu ingredients. There were also several items not available, from an already limited hh menu, and our server could offer no real recommendations.

But the overall experience brings it down to 3 stars. Prices feel high for the casual setup, the place looks tired and really needs a thorough cleaning (a deep clean and freshening up the vibe would instantly boost customer enjoyment a ton), and better interaction with guests would make a huge difference -- friendlier service, quicker check-ins, and making people feel truly welcomed would go a long way. As a local I'm still rooting hard for them because the potential is there and the music is solid. spruce up the space, and improve guest interaction and this spot would be packed and loved by everyone. Definitely worth trying for the food, just come with realistic expectations

I opted for the spicy jerk chicken. The lady preparing the food asked if I was sure I wanted spicy because it was not the typical American spicy. I opted in to take the plunge. My nose did run, yes.

The lady taking my order and the lady preparing the food were both dynamic. They provided excellent customer service.

Pina Coladas aren't usually my brand, but damn Gina...these are good! Hand blended and elevated to creamy perfection (hafta recommend the extra rum floater on top). We tried a Toffee & Tequila drink because the flavor combination won our curiosity (it tasted like an espresso drink which I don't enjoy) but we sure liked the thought. She switched to an off-menu drink the server recommended called a Saturn which was quickly emptied. I had a few bourbon & rum cocktails called the Fancy Bombo - and those got me right. We only wanted a couple of shareable small plates to hold us over so we tried the Crab Croquetas and corn tamal. The croquetas were had a crunchy fried exterior and cheesey crab goodness within. I could've eaten about 82 of them if we didn't have dinner reservations elsewhere a few hours later. The corn tamal was a polenta disc topped with so much deliciousness that had me considering cancelling my other reservations. As good as the food & drink are - the service really seals the deal. Everyone in the place is a foodie and exudes a level of sophistication when you inquire about anything. The staff is quick to engage, explain and recommend when called upon. There is a vibe here that will keep me coming back for more. I will just put this out there for those that may need it (and you know who you are) - if you are intolerant of different lifestyles, sexualities and flamboyance...this IS NOT a place you may care for. Many of the staff is diverse and LGBQT adjacent/forward. Don't misunderstand, this is not a place advertised as anything for a certain type of person or group, but if these things make you uncomfortable - don't ruin it for those of us that support all diversity.
