This is a small spot but add it to your list - Nevenka is worthy of generous (tax-free!) tips as she's taking care of everyone in this family-style restaurant. The food is as flavorful as it is colorful - Trio Marino allowed me to sample, and 2 of 3 knocked it out of the park. Peruvian arroz (like a Spanish paella or Asian stir-fry) with peas, red bell, tender calamari, clams, and mussels had bright flavors and a slow, warming heat. On the other side, generous portions of fresh white fish ceviche in a citrus coconut broth topped with toasted corn nuts and purple onion (texturally complex, flavors exciting for Midwest palates) was exceptional. A roadside attraction!

The staff is incredibly friendly, the place is cozy, and the food is delicious. Everything we tried tasted authentic and homemade. The papa rellena was huge.

It came with rice, fries, cilantro crema and a cilantro mustard crema. Will be back!

They have the robot that brings out food for you like at certain hot pot restaurants. The robot was not precise and it would stop at random table instead of the exact table where it should be. Could be because the restaurant is small for this robot or the set up was not good. Service was excellent. Server came to check on me four times. Plantains were great. The el mar which is a seafood combination dish and included lobster tail, shrimps, and a piece of salmon. The dish was really cheap, only $23.99. The shrimps and salmon were good. The lobster tail was not the most fresh. The meat at body end was soft/soggy. The mixed vegetables were frozen vegetables. Please never ever use frozen mixed vegetables. I would rather pay a little more for fresh vegetables. I didn't quite understand the use of salsa as there were no chips for it. There were tortillas but salsa and tortillas don't go together, am I right? Who knows? I didn't touch neither. This restaurant also has burgers, steaks, and pasta which I haven't tried. I feel like wether you give this a 4 or 5 stars all come down to what you order. An incorrect order will automatically knock it down to 4 stars. It is such a cool restaurant though. I wish Tulsa has something similar.

It's a small place but an authentic place for sure. She brought out my taco salad and it was in a huge lettuce bowl. HUGE. (Most places just slop it on a plate which is fine because I just don't want the fried shell) I was in heaven! Brilliant! My husband threatened me (easy, it was all in fun) that if I started asking for my usual taco salad in a huge lettuce bowl rather than without a fried shell, he'd never take me to Mexican places again - that's never happening lol. I certainly got some weird looks but I didn't care, I was thrilled! It was delicious and an enjoyed having a double serving of lettuce!

Upon walking in, we were told to sit anywhere we like. There were tables and chairs and booths to choose from. You are given queso, salsa and relish to start. The queso is good, the salsa was different than I am used to. It almost had a sweet taste. I am not sure what was in it, but it was different. One of the people with us said they were the best carrots she had ever had. The food came quickly. It was cooked fresh to order. On the table were multiple sauces to choose from. You were also offered green or red sauce. The beans and rice were very good. The chicken fajitas could have used a bit more flavor, but they were good. Taco salad was fresh with big chunks of avocado in it. They were friendly staff. It is a nice little place, but would be easy to miss. We would all go again.

When we walked in, an older woman greeted us right away with the sweetest smile and seated us immediately. She ended up being our hostess and was so kind and attentive the whole time. The atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming. The menu isn't huge, but it has a good variety and the prices are very reasonable, especially for how much food you get. I'll admit I was a little unsure when I saw queso wasn't complimentary, because sometimes when you pay for it, it's not that great, can tell it's made with velveeta. But we ordered the large anyway and it was actually really good. The salsa was just right too, not too mild but not overly spicy. I ordered the enchilada platter and wasn't sure how I'd feel about the red sauce, so I also got a beef chimichanga on the side just in case I did not like the red sauce. Both were really good, and the chimichanga was way bigger than I expected, honestly a full meal by itself. My daughter got the Cowboy Quesadilla and said it was the best one she's had in a while. My husband ordered the steak fajitas and really liked them, his only comment was that the steak pieces were a little thin. Overall, everything was great. The food, the service, and just how genuinely kind our hostess was really stood out. We had a great experience and will definitely be coming back.

And then we had to wait for our server to finally greet us. He was friendly enough but whispered the entire time, so we couldn't quite hear him over the music and had to keep asking him to repeat things. Not sure if he lost his voice or something. The mocktail drinks were decent so we had high expectations. But the appetizer Tiradito de Tuna was so disappointing with the quality of tuna. The sauce was citrusy and okay and they added bits of carrots and flower pedals like that would make up for the quality. The Lomo Saltado and the Churrasco were just okay too. I feel like other hispanic/latin places have the same dishes that are way better. It's like you're paying for the downtown nice location more than for the food. The Churros were good, but not any more special than any other Churros elsewhere. Not sure I would go back, just based on price for the food.

There was a gaggle of teenage boys in the business uniform horsing around, throwing fries at each other, choke holding each other and just acting a mess. We are larger people and we had a party of four. They tried to sit us at this half moon booth with a rectangle table. No one could comfortably sit there with more than two people. Once I got them to let us move to a table, we were told the QR code was the menu. This link takes you to a menu with pop up adds all over it and it's horribly hard to read. We were not even allowed to read past the first page before the server asked "what food you want". Still hasn't taken our drink order. Asked for ice water and was told they have bottled water. Later to find out from seeing another table ask for ice water and was given it without question. Teenage boy brought our water bottle and asked 2 more times if we were ready to eat and order. Once we did order we wanted some beef empanadas. What we got was mashed potatoes with cornmeal around them fried with no beef in any of it. Was hungry so we ate them. The green salsa that came with it was the best part of the meal. 3 of the 4 of us ordered cane asada and was labeled as skirt steak but what was brought out was flattened flat iron steak. Maybe 4 ounces of meat pounded over a 10x6 inch plate. Should have been a $12 meal each not $20. My food was flank steak which was suppose to salsa on top and just had tomato and onions. Green salsa was 8 of 10 all the food was 2 of 10. Not to mention of of the boys that brought our food ripped a very large fart and did not apologize for it just pointed and laughed and ran off. Save the money and go to Taco Bell at least you know what you are going to get.
