The service was awesome and I know we came a little late around 7 so them being nice and accommodating definitely added to their credibility. The food was good, I wouldn't say great because things were a little dry and could've been a bit more flavorful but I'm not sure if it was a timing thing or just how they prepare their food. I would give it a try if you're looking for a quick bite and you're in the Salinas area.

I will give them a pass as it was Labor Day weekend they were understaffed drinks were in small plastic cups, that was a fail. The sausage links in wine was a fail overcooked and warm not hot.

The only 4 star was the beans as they were cooked and had Calabasa and ham and had flavor.

Highly recommend mofongo mero and arroz mamposteado. The drinks ALL of them were top notch. Plus lots of beautiful photo ops around the restaurant. Can't wait to come back!

Por suerte pedimos varios aperitivos y estuvieron tan malos que no llegamos a ordenar nada más para almorzar. Empezamos pidiendo un caldo de pescado, parecía grasa pero estaba aguao' aguao' y soso, malo. También pedimos un coctél de carrucho, por $16.99 literal solo tenía 7 pedazos de carrucho pequeñitos y el resto era lechuga mojada con el picadillo de cebolla y pimiento, de sabor, nada espectacular. Los camarones al ajillo, que son imposibles de dañar, no sabían a nada y parecían hervidos (hasta tenían la espumita blanca por encima), hubiera querido pedir sal pero la joven no salía a atendernos; los tostones parece que habían estado sumergidos en aceite frío por varios minutos, así que también fueron imposibles de comer, y por último los chicharrones de pescado, más bien parecían haber frito una tilapia, con un poquito de mayo-ketchup nos lo pudimos tragar pero no era un buen filetito de pescado. En fin, lo único bueno fueron las cervezas porque ni el jugo de toronja tenía sabor. El servicio fatal, ni a cobrarnos se acercaban a la mesa así que tuvimos que ir personalmente a la caja. Un lugar muy bonito, solo necesita unos nuevos cocineros (porque chefs no deben ser) y empleados que disfruten y valoren su trabajo.
