I love our Latin Caribbean culture. The food, drinks, and service were spectacular. We love everything about it. I was worth it to drive 2 hrs!

We had a girls’ night out on the patio last night, and we had an amazing time! The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, and our server, Yeimi, truly went above and beyond to make our evening special. Her friendly attitude and excellent service made the experience even better. I highly recommend the Croquetas de Maduro and the 3 Leches de Coquito—both were absolutely delicious and full of flavor! We will definitely be coming back again soon. And while you’re here, enjoy my professional photos… just don’t steal them! 🤪📸

I had been wanting to visit this place since they opened. Unfortunately, getting a reservation can be a little difficult, which I completely understand. I made a reservation for two, and from the moment we walked in, everything was beautiful and the staff was very welcoming. We went around 5 PM, which I highly recommend since it wasn’t too crowded. Our server, Ashley, was very attentive and helpful throughout the night. She patiently answered all of our questions and guided us through the menu. The drinks were beautifully presented and tasted great. The food was cooked perfectly, including our steak. The sushi was delightful, and let’s not even talk about the desserts… The tres leches was absolutely delicious (I’m a baker, so I know exactly how I like it to taste!). Overall, this experience met all of our expectations, and we will definitely be back!! ✨

Went for my birthday on 01/01/26. Great service. Great show and amazing food. Loved the Tomahawk steak cooked to perfection 🥹. I love that they cook it right in front of you. The appetizers were really good. The drinks are too sweet and mediocre for my style but they have good presentation. They make any drink you ask for anyways so if you know what to order you’re good. I know they opened the patio recently but I haven’t seen it. Looks amazing in the pictures. Looking forward to going back.

The food was excellent, though the service was a bit slow—likely because it was busy that day, even though it was a Wednesday. We didn't have to wait since we had a reservation, but plenty of people arriving without one had to wait over half an hour for a table. The cocktails are very good; they’re sweet, obviously, but the presentation is 10/10. I would definitely come back here. The music is loud, but you can still hold a conversation; it has a Latin vibe, so it works well
