This place has a fun flare and a touch of Mexico, Cuba, and Brazil, Jose says it's influence is Havana Vieja. It has a busy busy bar and young crowd. Bartenders make good-sized drinks. The white Sangria is a good mix, and is always a good choice. Jose loves the Mojitos. We only waited 10 mins for a table on a busy Friday, not bad. The banana and yuca tortilla chips are unique. They are specialists with cerviche: My salmon had mango and the tuna special had watermelon. A salmon mango "tango" treat.Parrillada is our 1st choice. When ever we see it, and here it's called "carnitas". Which is a mixed grill of chicken lamb sausage, skirt stake and ribs.... RICO! Even though this says "feeds two"- it could feed four easily.. The table near us ordered "ponchos" which is satay with chicken beef and charisso that you pass over an open flame yourself.. Very cool
The place is a bit noisy but well worth every sound decimal. Not kid friendly at night but a great place to bring friends.
Our waitress was really sweet and attentive, even with a Packed house she never forgot us.
Price: $$ Medium with value
