One of my friends was more familiar with the area and recommended we come here. She ordered a plate of fried pork with tostones, some guisado de res, and white rice. The total was around $20 which was fair for the portion sizes. The guisado was a bit oily but the flavor was really good and the meat was very tender. Since the tostones did not come with a sauce, we ended up dunking them in the guisado. The tostones were on the thicker side but crispy and tasty. The fried pork was good, although maybe a little bland. The lime helped a little bit with bringing out the flavor. The white rice was good. They offer a small, medium, and large portion - small was good as a snack for 3 people. I would come back and try more of their menu items. They have a parking lot, but it was packed and the snow didn't help. There is also street parking. It is in a lively part of town, so I enjoyed people watching while eating in the car.

We ordered the sancocho and rabo guisado (Oxtails), with white rice and plantains. The sancocho was pretty good. It had a lot of meat and vegetables, the white rice was perfectly cooked. I thought the sancocho had a bit too much garlic in the seasoning, but it was still great, especially since it was rainy and a bit chilly. The Oxtails were simply amazing! They were extremely tender and practically falling off the bone. The sauce was seasoned perfectly and paired well with the white rice. I've never had Oxtails this good at a restaurant. They tasted just like when mom recipe takes hours and hours to make since you want to cook it long enough for the meat to become tender. The service was very friendly and attentive, the food came pretty quickly. Prices were very reasonable. If I'm back in the area, I will definitely return and order the Oxtails.

He's a big fan of Chipotle (I am NOT), but he said his diced angus steak burrito blows theirs out of the water. This was after the first bite and he reaffirmed that after he wolfed it down. My Bistec Encebollado (Steak & Onions) was so tender and seasoned just right. The portion was big for the price and I couldn't finish it. My son wolfed that down too, robbing me of the joy of leftovers for lunch today. He ate his too fast for me to get a photo but here's the Bistec Encebollado. I have a dairy allergy, so it looks kinda boring but there were plenty of options I chose to skip. The beef didn't need it! It's a small place but online ordering was super easy and it was ready in 20 min as advertised. There are only a handful of tables but they're really cool wood creations and there's a great vibe. The staff was very friendly as I watched them deal with some pretty indecisive people in front of me. I got so distracted looking around that I forgot to grab the drinks I ordered but we will definitely be back!

The birria ramen was especially disappointing--it had almost no flavor, and the ramen itself wasn't even cooked properly. The birria tacos were also burnt, which made them hard to enjoy. Overall, a lot of the food I ordered was simply not edible. The only things that were okay were the horchata and the canned soda--everything else missed the mark. For the prices being charged, I expected much better quality. Sadly, this experience did not live up to expectations at all.

My entree had no price listed on the specials menu. I have never let price deter me snd I Was shocked to see it was $60. We eat out a lot but that was in no way a $60 dish. The portions were small. Seafood quality was mediocre. And the lobster tails were rock lobster. Which is a coarser meat and not as flavorful as Maine lobster. Which was misleading on the description. Overall one and done for us. In my opinion its too expensive for what they are serving.
