Coco cream
Giovanna A.

Good service and ambience and FOOD is sooooo good! As a hispanic I would never vouch for a place that's not spot on. The mofongo was unreal and the pállela wasssss spot on!

Churrassco with cabbage (coleslaw), cream corn, crispy potatoes, Dominican sausage, and delicious sauces.
Mari A.

My puerto rican family and I were told to check this place out, and we are so glad we did! Everything here is authentic and delicious . It's definitely worth a try if you are looking for something new with a latin twist. Wish my belly was bigger so I could try more dishes. Highly recommend!

Fisherman's catch taco
Lindsay S.

Love, love this place! Not just another taco spot! Truly Latin-owned and Latin-based. Fantastic food, amazing drinks and great service! A must-try if your downtown Greenville. Perfect before a Greenville Drive Game!

Grilled chicken bowl
Bobbi M.

Food was extremely tasty & seasoned perfectly. Everything was prepared with fresh ingredients. Will definitely go back the next time I'm in town.

My first time trying Mofondo...delicious
Lee T.

This is a great new addition to the West End. The menu is interesting and the food is really fresh. The owner was behind the bar and could not have been more friendly.

We ended up with the Bolitas de Yuca con Queso as an app. He ordered his entrée: Chayote Rellano. When I tried to order my entrée, the first two things I chose were not available that night. I said to the woman I had never been there before, asked what she might recommend and she tersely and flippantly said, "Throw a dart." I could hear the impatience in her voice; she couldn't be bothered to make a suggestion. I was out of ideas so I quickly chose the Cubano. We took our order table marker and found a seat. The ambience left a lot to be desired; the tables and chairs were cheap, and there wasn't much decor. Our appetizer was delivered at the same time as my entrée. The bolitas were actually tasty; however, I wanted to try my sandwich when it was hot but felt it would be rude to start before my friend's entrée arrived. The kitchen's timing was terrible. Eventually my companion's entrée arrived, and he was happy with his dinner. My Cubano was very unimpressive. The flavor was bland. Our drinks - sangria - tasted like there was no alcohol in them. Overall, we spent over $70 for 2 dinners, an appetizer and 2 drinks, and I was tremendously disappointed. With unimpressive food and high prices, I will have a hard time giving them a second chance.

Our waiter was a superstar- in talking with him he shared he was from Ecuador and made suggestions for our lunch choice. We started with the beef and chicken empanadas- very good- and an order of maduros- ripe plantains. We should have stopped there because I was almost full at that point. For our entrees we chose shrimp mofongo- which we really see in small cities being that it is the national dish of Puerto Rico- and the paella for one. Both were wonderful. I would argue that the size of the paella should be be renamed as a lid of a trashcan serving. It was giant and we barely put a dent in it before asking for a to go box. I highly recommend this spot!

The restaurant itself is really cute, clean, and has plenty of parking. Unfortunately, our experience started off on the wrong foot because the automatic handicap door button was broken. My boyfriend stood outside for several minutes trying to get it to work so he and his service dog could get inside. It was close to 100° outside, so that was really frustrating. I was still getting things out of the car and had no idea he was stuck outside because I never imagined something that important would be out of service. Eventually, an employee came over and opened the door for us. Our server was very friendly and attentive, so no complaints there. We ordered the morcilla with arepitas and an arepa with shredded beef, chicharrón, and chorizo. The morcilla was a disappointment. It was dry and mostly tasted like rice. My boyfriend has had morcilla at other Colombian restaurants before, and they usually have a much richer filling with meat and seasoning. This one just fell flat. My arepa was okay, but it really needed something. No cheese, no butter, no sauce, not even hogao. The shredded beef was dry, the chicharrón was chewy, and the chorizo was decent. Overall, it just lacked flavor. As we say in Colombia... it needed more sabor and a little more love. The passion fruit juice was really good, though. Overall, I'd give the food a 3/10.

It's counter service--you order at the register, find a seat (there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating), and they'll bring your food out. I ordered the fish taco combo, which came with two fish tacos, yuca fries, and a canned drink. The tacos were good, but I wasn't a huge fan of the menu changes. Everything is a combo now, and I was told I couldn't order the tacos by themselves. I wish they'd bring back the à la carte option because I'd rather try a few different things than be locked into one meal. The yuca fry portion was also smaller than I expected--I only got about five fries. Overall, it's still a spot I'd recommend if you're visiting Athens since it's been a local favorite for so long. I just left a little less impressed than I remember being the last time I was here.

La Choza Restaurant - 3 mixta that I DID order!

La Choza Restaurant

OMG, AMAZING FOOD!…read more If you're looking for real, authentic Latin cuisine, try La Choza (The hut). Most of you realize the best food comes from "hole in the wall" dive restaurants. Well, that stereotype holds true here. La Choza actually sets the precedence in this case. No frills, sub-par service but delicious food. Upon entering, the only waitress in the nearly abandoned moderately sized dinning room, looked surprised when I walked in. Perhaps, I was the first white person to enter looking for a meal. When she finally realized I was there to eat, she allowed me to sit anywhere. The high schooler was inexperienced to say the least but eager to get my order. I started to order a Dos Equis, and she demonstrated the same puzzled look as when I walked in, and she explained they don't serve alcohol. None the less, I was satisfied with water. The unnamed waitress quickly returned with the beverage and kindly asked if I needed a few more minutes which she took literally because three minutes later she arrived attentively again to get my order. The menu was broken up nicely with items for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The names were in their native language with an English description of each item. A few amateur pictures doted the menu and even included a kid's menu. I decide to go with two appetizers, the nachos and papusa (tortilla pouch with filling). A choice of filling for the papusa was nice but I simply chose queso (cheese) and again a choice of meat for the nachos, which I chose pollo (chichen). A moderate wait of about fifteen minutes was not broken up by chips and salsa as you might find at an American chain Mexican restaurant but it gave me time to absorb the lack-luster atmosphere. Two TVs in either front corners of the restaurant, one of which had music videos being controlled by someone in the establishment who was browsing their favorite songs on YouTube. The authentic Latin music was quickly replaced by modern American Rap which was not well received. Minimal decor reminded me that I was in a struggling "Mom and Pop" restaurant who likely spend most of their effort on the quality of the food. My expectations at this point were dwindling but when the gigantic plate of nachos arrived at my table, my hopes were rekindled. My taste buds did not go wanting as I explored the yellow corn chips pilled high with diced grilled chicken, loads of thick queso blanco, fresh shredded lettuce and what I expect was fresh made guacamole which was outstanding. The papusas also arrived at about the same time with a sizzling, cheesy blend inside that oozed out slightly as I cut into the tender tortilla shell. A cup of orange shredded stuff was served with the papusa, which was indescribable by the waitress. The mystery stuff was amazing: a tangy, sweet, juicy, coarse, bright orange vegetable consistency was the highlight of the dish. Upon my own research, I believe it was a jicama slaw of sorts. It was absolutely delicious as was the rest of the food. In summary, they need some improvement in the service area, but with food like that, I will be back over and over. The total bill was right at ten dollars before tip, and provided more food than I could eat in one sitting. That is to say, even the modest spender will find dinning pleasure at this authentic Latin eatery.

I always come for their Pupusas. This order was for myself & a co worker who wanted just cheese. I…read moregot the mix order. I never had an issue with dine in or carry out so I was a bit taken aback when the young lady who answered the phone wasn't of any help. I told her I can not come back if she can get credit me for the extra cheese charges since I never got any of cheese. She said no all she can do is exchange then if I wanted to come back to get the cheese which was not happening! Therefore 2 stars because if it was a honest mistake by the restaurant THEY should be willing to make it right with a good paying customer! I do intend to bring this up when I go in for dine in & speak to a boss in there so this issues is not happening to anyone else! Idk if it's $4 that's gas money food is good just double check when taking out even if they said they checked & bagged the order themselves. My co worker didn't get to eat that day for break cause she doesn't do meat only cheese!
