The restaurant was not busy.
We were the only table.
We were ready to order and had to wait for the wait person took a phone order.
The wait person seemed very disorganized.
When we did order, I did not time how long it took but, it took a long time to get water and a tea.
The food also took a long time to come out and when it did only my wife's came out.
I had to wait for my burrito to come out several minutes later.
My burrito was good, my wife said her meat was dry.
During our meal we had to listen to a very loud grinding noise.
I had to get up and go to the bar to get our bill.
As I paid I asked what is that noise?
Our wait person said I can shut that off.
It was nice and quiet after that but, we were on our way out the door.
Overall, this was not the same experience we had on our first visit.

We walked and and noticed several things; seat yourself, not busy, clean, well lit, and warm.
We were greeted by the owner as we walked in.
The owner is also our waiter.
The drinks in the menu are listed as fountain drinks.
I do not know if the means Coke or Pepsi, or something else.
I saw a beef burrito on the menu, I asked if they could make a chicken burrito.
I got my chicken burrito and it was awesome.
I have no problem giving this restaurant my recommendation!
What a great find, on accident! I flew in for a 24-hour business trip and took an Uber to a Middle Eastern restaurant but when I got there they were closed. My driver was Cuban and he and I had a great conversation in Spanish the entire ride. When I inquired about a Latin restaurant he took me here instead. Everything about this place is top notch from the service to the food. The owner is the waiter and is the nicest guy ever, thanks for letting me practice my Spanish with you Noé!
Love the atmosphere. Clean and ethnic decor. Drinks excellent. Rylan is a very hard worker and server. Tostones Rellenos, empanadas and ropa vieja were delicious. Mojitos needs to a little sweeter and more mint leaves. Rumba drink was refreshing.
Amazing food and service! Delicious, fast hot and fresh. We are so thankful for a wonderful meal. Beautiful quiet and clean restaurant!
As you may know, some things don't taste exactly the same, but over all it was ok.
I wasn't a fan of the desserts we had but the plate I ordered was delicious ???? and the appetizers were good!
Also I was sad to hear that they don't have Malta anymore or red beans :(
Came here with some friends after an afternoon of playing games. I have a little dog that goes everywhere with me because she has a heart problem. They were very understanding and even made a plate of chicken for her because she can't eat any other meat.
I ordered empanadas and got three different flavors. The chicken, pizza, and cheese. I asked the waitress for some sort of sauce and she recommended the creamy cilantro. I really enjoyed the pizza empanada especially with the creamy cilantro sauce. I enjoyed the pizza empanada, the chicken not so much.
Everyone was impressed with the amount of food they got and they enjoyed their meals.
Our waitress was very friendly, helpful, and attentive.
*Update* We visited AGAIN yesterday, and the food was even better than when we visited two years ago. I'll add more photos so you can see the large portions and delicious options. If you haven't been here, please take time to check it out. Get the yucca frites - they're amazing! My favorite was the chicken empanadas. The chicken was so tender! The tostones were excellent! The prices are reasonable - 4 hungry people ate tons of food for less than $100.00
*Review from 2 years ago*
Excellent food and friendly, kind service. We ordered the empanadas, lechon (pork dish) and ropa vieja (beef dish) - both were extremely tender and tasty. The portions were very big! The rice was perfectly done.
I had a very good mojito and my husband got a cortadito (coffee), very tasty, but could have been hotter temperature... I'm being very picky here...
The empanadas were supposed to be 3 different ones, but they accidentally gave us all three of them beef. We received a genuine apology, and we joked around that that's good marketing to get us to come back and try the other empanadas. Great experience. Very clean restaurant worth trying.
The drinks are great and the food is tasty. Very relaxing and homey experience; with very friendly owners and a welcoming feeling. My wife is celiac and had no issues finishing gluten-free items as everything is labeled on the menu.
