Gave this restaurant a try since it is right around the corner from my house. I was not disappointed at all. So nice to be greeted by happy people that look at you and smile (A rare thing it seems these days). The menu is impressive but not too expansive. Most dishes are priced under $20. My son (Do they have pepperoni pizza?) was even impressed. But none of that matters if the food doesn’t deliver. It did! Appetizers of guacamole and empanadas were delicious. With so many things I wanted to try both my son and I Decided to get burritos (An odd choice I admit for a first try). The burritos were a foot-long and were actually beautiful to look at and tasted awesome. They do offer a 3 foot long burrito as well. I love Mole’ but often find it too spicy, which overwhelms the flavor of the sauce to me. Their Mole’ was delicious with a small kick on the finish. At the time of this Review they are approximately 10 days from serving alcohol per the owner, but you are allowed to bring your own wine or beer and there is no uncorking fee. All to say that I highly recommend this restaurant. I certainly will be returning to try...
Read moreWent with a friend for dinner. The interior is so pretty! The food was really delicious. We had the guacamole for an appetizer. It was a huge portion and very tasty. I had the Pollo Tropical, which I enjoyed. I saw the Camarones Al Ajillo come out at another table and will definitely try that next time! My friend had the Sopes, which they said was really good. For dessert, we had the sopapilla, which was AMAZING (they’re my favorite), but also got to try the flan, which was coated in liquor and lit on fire to carmelize the sugar, which was also delicious. The service was friendly and fantastic. The owner is very customer focused and eager to make it a good experience. Also, there is a really nice bar that I hope to take my husband to for a drink one evening. We did also order cocktails. The strawberry mojito I had was really refreshing, with muddled strawberries in it. I really hope people will give it a try, as I think it could easily become a local favorite...

This place just opened and had some of our favorite dishes on the menu, so we thought we'd give it a try. There were some highlights, but they're not ready yet, and we should have waited.
The Good: Our server was excellent. Very personable and super nice. Also, the place looks good. It has a nice layout and cool decor.
The Challenges: No bar service yet. Had we known this, we definitely wouldn't have come yet. A cocktail at a latin restaurant is half the experience, and the lack of it made things fall flat immediately. The app we got which was queso with strips of meat in it was unrefined and difficult to eat with chips. The meat was unimpressive (except shrimp) and I wouldn't order this again. The Arroz con Pollo also fell flat. The rice was mush and the chicken dry, with not a ton of flavor.
This was a 2.5 experience overall. There is potential here if they get the food right and the bar approved, but they have a ways to go before we dip...
