I also liked the variety of baked goods available, including a few savory options for something different. Everything was packaged neatly, and the staff was friendly while helping me with my choices. It's a small bakery with a simple, welcoming feel.

This little Latin bakery is tucked into the back of a retail center and definitely feels like a…read morehidden gem. They offer cakes, empanadas, and a variety of pastries. I stopped by a little later in the day, so they were almost sold out, but I still managed to grab some guava and cheese pastries. They were light, fluffy, and exactly how pastries should be...absolutely delicious. I also tried a chocolate cupcake and a slice of red velvet cake. Both were a bit denser than I prefer, so I'd personally stick with the pastries because they were fire! The café itself is very quaint, with a few bar stools inside and a couple of tables outside, making it a cute spot to sit and enjoy a coffee and pastry. Overall, I'll definitely be back for the pastries. Yum!

This was our fourth time visiting here bc we had liked it. This last time was not the same. Felt…read morelike the service wasn't that great. Came in and wasn't sure what to order. We looked at the menu provided to us. We like to look at pics online too. There is a special for Monday. That information was provided to us after we asked, but if not, we would have not known. It was for different burgers. We ordered two empanadas first, Then ordered a burger, the burger was the Oh Oh Burger. On the menu, this burger included ground beef, salami, Caramelized onions, maduro, and fried cheese. I only noticed it having the fried cheese, nothing else. This burger was very salty as well. It also came with fries. In regard to the empanadas, I liked the ground beef empanada and my husband liked the chicken. I ordered a passion fruit mojito and my husband had water. At the end, when leaving they said they had specials each day. In the beginning that was not even mentioned because those are on separate menus, & if you don't Ask, then you don't know.

They had an awesome lunch special going on where I got teriyaki chicken with vegetable rice and a side salad. The staff were super friendly and the service was excellent.

This place kept coming up on my Facebook feed, so I decided to give it a try. The parking lot was…read moretight for my truck almost all of the spaces were taken. When I entered, there was only one person waiting for food and the manager owner. Whoever told me that they only had takeout available because they didn't have a server. Then he stated that if I wanted to eat in, I could order in this eat at the table just nobody would be able to serve me. I said that was all right. He was nice enough. We didn't talked about whether I wanted hot sauce or not and I said yes I do. He brought out a bottle of their homemade hot sauce so I'm ready to go. I ordered two of the Birria Tacos with shrimp and a Birria quesadilla with shrimp. I have to say that the services really excellent the gentleman was very friendly open. Ask how my day was going. Ask what I was planning to do for the day. The food was around $33 and you can see the amount I got for that price. Well, now it's time to try it. Started with the tacos ate the first one just dipping it in the sauce and it was good then I added the hot sauce. They're special sauce and that has a hit to it. It is not too hot so that you can't eat it, but it will clear your sinuses I like it. Hot sauce is the way to go. both the quesadilla and tacos was great having a broth adds to the flavor plus with the tiny Ines of the hot sauce magnificent. Well, now I'm going to finish my food and I will give this place 4 1/2 stars.

The sofrito chicken and steak lacked flavor and also on the drier side. The rice & beans could also use some love as far as flavor goes.

Our server was friendly and attentive. Always happy to support local mom & pop shops like this in the area!
