The bartender was very friendly and attentive to the bar. I ordered the Al pastor tacos and steak tacos. The Al pastor tacos were better, but the steak was also good. The tacos were packed full of meat and guacamole. I had a side of their green sauce, which was very good., not spicy and had a tangy fresh lime flavor. They were all out of the spicy red sauce. I would definitely come back to try more. I want to try more off their menu and I want that hot sauce.

The indoor space had a lingering hookah smell that was a bit distracting, but there was a cool ofrenda display that gave it a unique touch. If the weather allows, I'd definitely recommend sitting outside on the patio for a more enjoyable vibe. Our server was excellent -- attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. We started with complimentary tortilla chips that were perfectly seasoned and served with a fresh, flavorful salsa. For tacos, we went with the Chicharron and Adasa, both topped with cilantro, red onions, radish, lime, and a green taquera sauce. Each was authentic, well-balanced, and absolutely delicious. Despite the indoor atmosphere not being ideal, the food and service more than made up for it. I'd happily return -- next time, definitely snagging a patio seat!

The food was out of this world from the very first course with the homemade hummus pumpkin hummus by the way right straight through to the end of the homemade desserts, etc. it was just amazing. The customer service was impeccable. The girls never let the drinks get too low in your glass. It will be off the cocktail. The water was always filled. They cleaned the plates right away. She weren't waiting. The variety of proof was out of this world. It was a beautiful, beautiful restaurant. Everything was individual rooms quiet but we do other people together. Really felt like you were special cause you were in a separate room and it was decorated so beautifully. The first course was appetizers. We had the fresh pumpkin hummus with homemade pita bread and then we had a calamari dish with some hot sausage in it then they have these beautiful steamed mussels with homemade bread, focaccia bread and it has some nice hetbs and stuff soaking in the broth. Then we had the buffet is started out with some fresh Scully bread, as well as some fresh rolls and butter, and the first part of that was a beautiful assorted salad. That was lovely. I had two of those cause. I can't eat a lot of meat and then. The next dish was a ziti with homemade sauce and then they had a beautiful Parmesan risotto with herbs and the next one was like a Portuguese chicken with vegetables and tomatoes that just fell off the bone it was amazing and then the last dish was a a Portuguese dish of roasted pork with little neck clams the husband I got him that cause he likes that type of thing, but everybody was cooked so beautifully presented wonderfully. I didn't get a chance to take pictures at the beginning, but I did get some during the buffet and then and everything was just impeccable. The desserts were delicious. There was some beautiful custard tarts with fresh fruit, homemade macaroons, brownies, and some petty food type of desserts. But I would definitely go back there for dinner, but I know for a fact while waiting for my friends to come that many people had a very long weight. One couple came in there was only two people the wait was 45 minute wait and then somebody else came in and there was an hour wait I like a party of six people just took it in stride like they must've known this was happening and they took and came back. if I definitely come over again to eat, I would definitely do it under the reservation. I learned that just by sitting there waiting for my friends to come. But everything was definitely an 11 out of 10 I could not have asked for better meal food was just impeccable and everything just went really great.

Since we did not, we were told the only place we could sit was at the bar. We took a seat at the bar, and the bartender was pretty attentive. The menu offered a good variety of food, I decided to go with the meatloaf form their list of Specials. Food didn't take too long to come out, and WOW, their portions are huge. Unfortunately my picture did not come out, and I didn't realize until I had left. It was (2) giant portions of meatloaf with a mountain of mashed potatoes and some mixed veggies, and despite going in hungry, I was only able to eat half. Pricing is a bit high, the atmosphere feels a bit stuffy and lighting at the bar is a bit dim, they definitely cater to an older crowd, but their portions are very generous, and the food was very flavorful. I'd go back again!

I normally don't order that because honestly it is usually served watered down. This sangria had oranges, apples, cherries and strawberries, it was refreshing and absolutely delicious. I would honestly say that you should visit here just for the sangria alone. After the sangria it only got better. We have the chimi sliders for an apps - we'll make son order s them for himself but they were so good that we may have forced him to share. I had the octopus salad, loved it. My husband had the charrasco and loved it the mamajuana burger was devoured before I realized it and the crispy chicken was also a hit All in all this place delivered on every level.

3 Stars for perfectly acceptable food and a massive dining room/bar…read more We stopped for a quick late lunch at an off-time, so there was plenty of room (almost empty!) so we grabbed a table by the window. The menu was pretty typical bar food, but I really appreciated that they offer vegetarian options- including the ability to substitute their housemade gf/vegan veggie burger to any handheld on the menu. The food was good, but not memorable or something I'd come back for. If I was interested in sports bars, I could definitely see the appeal. It was a bummer to as for club soda and see on the bill that they charge $3 for a glass of club soda from the gun (not bottled or anything). I've not seen that elsewhere and think it would've been useful to note that when I ordered it. In that case, I would likely have chosen tap.

This Latin restaurant and bar serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and there is ample seating here in the front dining area with bar and in the back room. I stopped by for lunch recently on a quiet afternoon. I dined in and picked a table near the bar. I started out with a water ($1.99 bottle) and ordered the 3 Grilled Chicken Tacos ($11.99 plus tax) served with rice, which was served to me within 10 minutes. The 3 Tacos were filled up good with tender pieces of grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese & cilantro with a cup of mild taco sauce. The soft flour tortillas were a bit dry, but the tacos still tasted pretty good. The side bowl of rice & beans was very good, soft with great flavors. I finished all of the food and got the check, which was $15.10 with tax. Overall, a good filling lunch of tacos and rice. I thought about ordering the Spaghetti & Meatballs or Seafood Paella, but I would have to be really hungry. I would return here for the breakfast.

So it was an easy yes, to say the least! When I arrived, I walked around the corner to the entrance on Rochambeau. The waiting area inside is bright, colorful, decorated with some personal tokens, assorted cookbooks and accolades. You can just see into the kitchen and suddenly the chef and owner, Milena Pagán will appear over the cafe style doors to greet you and get you checked in for your reservation. Highly recommend a reservation if you plan to come on the weekend. The place was busy! We were taken to our spots at the bar and greeted by Milena's partner, Darcy. He took care of us from start to finish. I could not resist the brunch prie fixe menu for $45. What a steal. An entree, house made pastry, juice/coffee/tea and one of the house cocktails. I chose the shakshouka, a cardamom knot, the guava-pineapple fizz and the rebujito. I also added an iced horchata latte because I was at brunch after all! We had our drinks and pastries in front of us quickly. My juice was refreshing, tangy and just a hint of sweetness. I love guava and this was exactly what I wanted. The latte was simple but effective, hitting the spiced notes you want from horchata with the depth of good espresso to back it up. The latte in particular was delicious with the cardamom knot, the two harmonizing together for a moment of heaven on this rainy Sunday afternoon. The outside of the knot was caramelized in spots adding this great crunch and the inside was soft like a cinnamon bun. My friend mentioned it was one of her favorites and I can see why! When the shakshouka came out, the smell hit me first. Warm tomatoes, the herbs from the chimichurri, and the tostones fresh from the pan. The presentation is beautiful, inviting you to dig in immediately. I of course opted for the smashed avocado upgrade and they thoughtfully plated it on the side. I like to taste everyone together so I added it to my skillet, and began eating the dish using my tostones as my utensil. It was amazing. All those smells I mentioned before played through beautifully in the tasting. It was one of the best dishes I've ever had. My only wish was for more tostones but I know if I had asked for an additional side, they had that as an option to take. I'll make sure to do that next time! The rebujito cocktail was something I hadn't tried before so I was looking forward to it. It felt like the kind of drink you have on a hot summer day. Similar to a mojito, but with good sherry as the base alcohol instead of rum. As a side note, I think it's an incredibly clever to create a cocktail menu around sherry when you have a beer and wine license. Using a fortified wine? Brilliant. But after my experience here today, I know that brilliance is in every brick of that space. If you were like me and haven't made the trip to this spot on the corner of Hope and Rochambeau, please fix that ASAP! I can't wait to go back, and bring all my friends and family here so they can share in what I enjoyed today. Just an incredible meal and service.

However we did end up finishing within the hour - I'm not totally sure how strict they are about that rule. They also have the kitchen right where you wait to get seated, which just added to the hunger and anticipation
