Other things we liked: the decor was nice, our waitress was a friendly young lady who made the experience pleasant, and the restroom was very clean.

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!

Amazing food, large portions, wonderful sauces, reasonable prices. Positive, upbeat music streamed in. I wish we had one of these where I am because I would be there all the time. Highly recommend if you are a local or if you are traveling through. I think it's a great option for groups as well b/c they have a strong varied menu. Vegetarian options as well. The plantains are amazing as well. We both had the palmillo bowl. Hands down perfection. Opt for yellow rice for a more authentic feel. I feel like this place is classified as Cuban but it's really just yummy bowl food! A wonderful place to spend an evening eating good food with good company. Come and check them out!

On the inside of the place they were very kind and service oriented. I review the inside of this establishment and gave the a very favorable review. So yesterday I went there ordered the same thing I ordered the first time ( Cuban sandwich) but this time I went thru the drive thru and not at all the same experience. Order was correct. Sandwich was under grilled not hot thru didn't have the same amount of that delicious mustard on it as the first time. Inconsistent food. Upon time for paying my order I gave the girl a gift card that I had partial money on and told her how much was on it. She told me it was invalid. I said I had just used it the week before and it was valid, please call the manager over to help you with it. She said OK she handed me my food. I told her to please try the gift card again. She says she said OK. I'm ready for the remainder fee with your credit card so I gave her my credit card when I looked at my receipt. She had run the entire amount of the bill on my credit card. I then responded. This is the entire amount on my credit card. What happened to the gift card? It's invalid was the response I got I asked to please call the manager since she had tried to lie to me at the window. She then proceeded to ask me if if I had a problem and I said yes I do. I need to see the manager. The manager came over immediately and fix the problem, but that's an employee that lies at the window. That is exactly what the problem was the lying employee.

This place is in my top five of Greenville restaurants.

Literally a hidden gem of a find in downtown Greenville…read more.. We only found this place by visiting the Greenville Drive team store on a Saturday afternoon. Decided to check it out for dinner on a Friday night and was shocked it was so empty. It's only a matter of time before this place fills up! I'm assuming baseball season will have this spot packed. This is the second location (original is on woodruff rd). If you look up the other location- they have fabulous reviews and rightfully so. They have daily specials, lunch specials and happy hour! A DJ on Saturday afternoons as well as brunch. We sat at the bar and Vanessa took great care of us. She gave us great recommendations. I love that they make their own drink mixes! It makes all the difference in quality. We tried a mango mojito and Pisco passion. Both were yummy! Pisco passion is strong fyi. The mood for something filling/delicious was fulfilled and then some! We both got mofongos which come with your choice of plantains: sweet, green or trifongo. We only tried the trifongo with roasted pork (which was amazing) but our favorite was the shrimp al ajillo (garlic shrimp). For the record- last time I had mofongo this good & flavorful I was in Puerto Rico. Safe to say we LOVED everything about both dishes. Still thinking about the garlic sauce with the shrimp! Chefs kiss! And the crispy pork belly pieces on top of the plantains that just melt in your mouth! The Ribeye steak board was recommended by a local (also dining at the the bar). He RAVED about the steak and the sides it comes with. Apparently only this location has a magical creamed corn dish as one of the sides for the all steak boards. Will be back to see how magical it really is! Ambiance is hip & fun with a splash of casual elegance. Great for a family dinner, date night, girls night- whatever. The only downside to planning your visit here is the parking. No private lot & street parking is scarce. I believe there's a garage across the street? The food, drinks & service will make the parking situation worth it. Planning on coming back to try their brunch. Cannot wait!

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.

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.

Again able to keep the dish as traditional and true to their identity. The empanadas were delicious and a good amount of meat and potatoes ratio. Made to order to maintain that freshness. Some where a bit extra crispy! Some of the maduros were overcooked but no other big negatives.

It took about 10 minutes for somebody to greet us and seat us. We ordered the trio of empanadas, which is one chicken, one cheese and one beef. We asked if we could substitute chicken and no beef and we were told not a problem. 15 minutes after the order was given to the server, she came back and advised us the restaurant had no chicken. This was at the beginning of dinner service not at the end of the night. I then proceeded to order the grouper sandwich and asked for extra tartar sauce. When the grouper sandwich came out was advised that they were out of tartar sauce. After the third bite of the grouper sandwich, it was so disgusting I could not eat anymore. Since the server was not very attentive by the time, someone came over to check on us we had decided we would just get the check and leave. Not sure what happened to this restaurant that had been so great a year ago, but if you don't have chicken at the beginning of dinner service and you can't afford tartar sauce, something is obviously wrong with your business. We will never eat there again! Zero stars given RM & party
