I've been to this spot at least 20 times. I love how the food is so tasty and the staff always have a smile on their face. The prices are reasonable and the parking is plentiful. I normally get the half white meat with mashed potatoes and gravy with mixed veggies. If you decide to stop by, you will be very pleased.

CHAT BROKE IT DOWN!

Oh hell no!!!!! I'm done this year is the worst "f 2024" & let's please make sure people don't treat empanadas like hand sanitizer when covid first started. please go out of business! I use to pay HERE........ for "2"empanadas $3.75 I asked chat what the increase was because I just payed (rounded up) $18 for 4 empanadas they increased by 380% this places empanadas are not even that good I am just hungry from working a 12 hour shift i'm done eating out. Why are they treating Americans in America like Americans in A foreign country this has to stop. I'll never shop here again, nor any other place that is overcharging. I'm done with merica. Please, if you are a hacker this is the one you need to hack and cause chaos too! No thank you to this buisness! Owwwww weeee

a plastic container filled with food

Read some of the reviews for this place but the ones that gave it 5 star is questionable at best. I decided to give it a try and this is what I know. The chicken is so-so and dry. Slaw is okay, about the only thing that taste decent. The yucca fries upset my tummy so I only ate one. The yucca fries have a good texture and flavor but can't eat them after my stomach started flip flopping. The sauces are blah, too. The staff was not too friendly and the price was a bit high for what you get. Save your money and eat elsewhere in my opinion.

chicken with French fries

A small business that definitely is worth a try! Their Peruvian chicken tastes pretty good and I think they give out generous portion sizes for what you order. It's a bit overpriced but I know it helps out small businesses like themselves. The chicken is generally juicy and tastes warm and flavorful. For their sides, my family and I usually get their Yucca or Fries. As for the sauces, my favorite is the green one, but they also provide a white sauce as well. Any extra sauces have an additional charge. They don't give you a lot of sauce compared to how much food you actually get so that is a bit disappointing knowing that you're already anticipating on paying for extra containers of sauce. Otherwise, it's a great option in the area.

Very little portions for a big price, and if you dine in watch out for the bag charge ... they will rip you off in your face.

Oh, I can't believe I didn't leave a review for the spot, even though I've been a few times though!…read moreIt's been a while, but man are they delicious. I would describe them as a combination of classic and elevated Latin food. The vibe of the restaurant is very casual, but the presentation of many of the dishes takes it to another level. They also have a wide selection of beer and wine. I have had tacos, octopus, breakfast tacos, and tamales. Everything was flavorful and quite tasty. I will admit service was a little slow the last time I went, but given the weather and the fact that we weren't in a rush it wasn't a big deal. If you haven't been yet, you should go. The colorful presentation reminds me of Palette 22, and rumor has it they are expanding to the Ethiopian restaurant that closed next door. I hope that's true!

Nice ambiance and good brunch menu offerings. I didn't know that they only offered brunch during…read morethe weekend so I was a little disappointed as I wanted to try something more complex but we enjoyed what we ate. Could work on those fried plantains as they were a little soggy. The quinoa salad was good, a bigger portion would have been nice for the price paid and maybe if it would be easier to eat if served in a bowl. The chorizo sandwich was okay. Presentation and bread could be better. We left curious about their regular menu so we may give it a try some other time. Their staff were nice but not very knowledgeable about their menu items. They didn't really know how to answer my question about their vegan tres leches and told me it was not actually vegan after indicating it had condensed milk and heavy cream.

To be honest, I am not a big fan of Latino cuisine, but it doesn't mean their food isn't good, I…read morejust didn't have much chance to explore them formally yet. I have tried some Mexican & Pan-Latin food many times before, but never from real restaurant. This is first time for me, and I'm already hooked now. This place is very close to my home but I just had paid attention on their menu and it looks so variety, yummy and interesting. I choose Carne Asada, that the famous one I heard among their food. It was really tasty with marinated and grilled perfectly, (medium), so that make me quite sure others their dishes will be great too. I ordered take out, so I can't say much about the service, anyway everything went smoothly, food was ready for picking up when I arrived and the staff knew their job right away. Moreover, I could see inside the restaurant, it is so charming and lively decoration. (As bar style) It is spacious dining room and some patio seats are available outside. Very convenient to stop by, and huge free parking lots at Layhill Shopping Center.

Ada was very impatient and kept asking about my tab, which made me uncomfortable. She even added…read moresomeone else's items to my check. Thankfully, the bartender fixed it right away. Big thanks to Daniela for helping me choose a great dish with the carne asada her customer service made me feel comfortable again I would of gave it 5 stars but Ada made the experience not very well
