I ordered the mofongo with longaniza ( the mofongo was dry and it appears that they ran out of longaniza because I had 5 to 6 small overcooked pieces. The salad was full of water and no dressing on it or offered. We also ordered fried chicken & tostones. ( chicken es mostly bones).I asked for garlic sauce or ketchup something to dip my tostones and mofongo in ( there was not even salt and pepper on the table). The server came back with a weird yellow looking sauce ( I didn't feel comfortable trying it). The whole experience was Disappointed, I expected more.

This place is kind of a trip. I came here not really knowing what I was getting into: there is no…read moremenu online and I was just getting food here based on Yelp reviews. It was a Friday night and I wanted some take out, so I decided this was as good a night as any for an adventure. So, I stopped in and they are blasting merengue/salsa music. I get it: it's Friday night- time to party. The waitress handed me a menu and I knew right then this place was legit- the menu is completely in Spanish. I noticed they had a Cuban sandwich, so I pointed to it (the waitress didn't speak English very well) and I gave her the signal for "to go" and I sat and waited. The food came out pretty quickly and I was on my way. I got home and dug into the sandwich. WHOA! Okay, this is pretty delicious. This isn't what I would call a "classic" Cuban, but it was delicious shredded pork and cheese on pressed bread, so I was pretty happy. The sandwich was really big and came with a side a fries; it was a total steal at $9. If I'm being honest, if I was dining in, the music would have been a little much for me. It's a small place and it was blasting, but hey- run your business how you want. I was really happy with my take out experience and I would absolutely stop back in and get that sandwich again.

It literally means 12 very thin cut pieces of oyster. I would guess that my $15 dollar plate had maybe 4 total oysters. It was more like vaguely oyster-flavored batter than an oyster plate. The batter was nicely seasoned, though. Sides were generous and tasted fine. Also, the music ranges from moderate to very loud. At one point, I was tempted to ask for my food to go it was so loud. Wait staff is friendly and attentive enough.

We…read moreordered the muscles appetizer and 2-3 of them were bad - the muscles were mushy and fishy and actually made me sick later. The others seemed fresh but I wouldn't say they're tasty. Seems like they are prepared in advance and sit in the fridge until ordered. We also ordered the mushrooms which did not look like the photos I've seen on Yelp, nor did they match the description from the menu. They were little pieces of mushroom smothered by an au jus that did have a bold, tasty flavor. I had been really looking forward to the paella, and was very disappointed. Very minimal flavor. No carmelized rice sticking to the bottom of the cast iron. Bay shrimp. The two black muscles in the dish had zero flavor. Even the garlic aioli served with the bread wasn't good (regular butter would be much better). I wondered why no one came by to ask how our food was tasting. Maybe they knew that the kitchen was falling short that night. One of the servers kindly comped us for drinks because we were forgotten about at first. So that jesture, and the ambience, are the things that earned the stars.

I cleaned my plate. I also tried other people's appetizers like the coconut shrimp and Jerk ribs... both were really good. I tried a taste of the bbq shrimp dish, which was also good. Lastly, I tried a slice of someone's steak. It was lacking flavor compared to everything else. Also, they brought out birthday shots and supplies for us to cut and pack the cake. The service was amazing. I'm definitely going back and im probably going to get the chicken again. Lol
