This place has 4.5 stars but let me tell you, it needs at the very least⦠six. After the tasteless disappointment last night at that other Nicaraguan restaurant, I swung by here on my way to the Natural History museum in LA. I ordered one of the typical nica breakfast dishes which was huevo con chorizo, gallo pinto, crema, maduro frito, and queso frito. (Eggs mixed with chorizo not spicy, rice and beans, fried plantains, sour cream, and fried cheese) Dear lawd this was awesome⦠everything tasted just as I expected it to taste having grown up eating this food. The portion was great, not too much and more than enough, and last but not least the service was great. Now I have to figure out how to have dinner here later or lunch before I head back home tomorrow lol. OH⦠and the photo should say it all⦠I only left some pieces of onion cause Iām not a huge onion fan but everything else, as you can see⦠is GONE. Highly recommend...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI am Nicaraguense and have been to Nicaragua several times throughout my life and eating here was like eating in Nicaragua! The plates were HUGE for very decent prices. I ordered the gallo pinto plate which comes with fried rice and beans, plantain chips, fried cheese and curtido for $7.99! The cacao (chocolate milk) was soooo good! They even have Nacatamales! These tamales are the best I have ever tried! They have bajo, milca, rosquillas and so many other Nica foods! I will definitely be back! Since we are from out of town, we are taking 10 Nacatamales back with us to Arizona! They are only $5 each and as the photo shows, 2 people can easily share it. Amazing...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI got the carne asada lunch; Meat was tender and chewy, the fresh fried cheese is something Iāll never know how to live w/o again𤣠and all of the flavors were š¤š¼. The gallo pinto (fried rice/beans) were a little dry but have good flavor. The platanos were also a lil dry. Overall though itās fantastic home cooked style of restaurant. Now customer service? 1000/10. Everyone was professional but warm and kind. I ordered online and I had no wait when I picked it up. I went on a Sunday with lots of family traffic so itās a lovely place to enjoy with your people. I will definitely...
