Everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious. The peach iced tea was refreshing and yummy. The owner was a delight and the service was friendly and efficient.

We took home the tres leches cake and the pineapple upside-down cake for dessert. Oh my goodness! Sinfully tasty. We will be back!

I went to their soft opening and they ran out of chicken and never came back until now 2/2025. They…read morewere apologetic and gave me a free meal on next visit, but I never used it because I lost the piece of note she (the owner) provided. This visit, the moment I walked to the counter I was greeted with a smile, and I remember her from my first visit. I ordered the 1/2 chicken because it was only $3 more than a 1/4 chicken with 2 sides. You get both white and dark meat and I order fried Yucca and black beans & rice. The chicken has so much flavor from the charcoal. The Yucca was perfectly fried fresh, and the black beans and rice were satisfying. It is a little pricey about $27 with fountain drink and a 15% tip (in my opinion they should not ask with their point of sale system when it is not a full service restaurant). This is the reason why they got a 3 star instead of 4 stars. This reminds me of Peruvian style rotisserie chicken that I use to eat when I lived in Washington DC area. Here, they are branded as Latin American Charcoal Chicken. This not a full service restaurant. You order at the counter and pick up at the order at the other end. They have a small but adequate dining room. I wonder how they are during a lunch and dinner rush. I will soon see.

Stopped in mid-morning and ordered a "Cachapa" - a thick, very sweet, cake made with fresh…read morecorn/masa. The half inch thick "torta" is sometimes as a thick pancake and often folded in half for serving. This one was a bit too thick to do that and, instead, covered the serving plate (see photo posted). This thick corn cake was fried to a crispy light golden brown crust with a moist and tender very sweet interior. It was topped with melted cheese (queso a mano) or white mozzarella. It also was covered with a fairly tender layer of barbecued beef plus slices of fresh avocado. Big serving - big flavor. Also grabbed a half dozen "Colombian" style empanadas (2 of each type: chicken, beef, or cheese.) Well cooked, slightly thick cornmeal crust and amply filled. These came with garlic-forward Colombian "Aji picante." Many more Latin dishes to explore on another visit.

You can tell this food is made with pride. The yuca was a little thick but was still fried pretty well, very light and no signs of too much grease. The empanadas were light and flavorful just amazing. The flan has to be the best flan I have had since living here.....seriously. It was firm and the perfect texture. Safe to say this place will be in my rotation!

I fell in love with the Ceviche and the Arroz con Mariscos had so much flavor, it was addicting. I kept going in for more bites. We also ordered a side of fried sweet plantains and Yuca. Everything was so delicious. We will definitely stop by when we are back in Destin.
