Nice find - recommended by a friend who ate here the day before. The menu has plenty of options, and I struggled not ordering everything in it. Based on what made to my table, you cannot go wrong. The pernil is great, and the mojo and mofongo are as well. I also tried the carne frita and it was the way you expect it. Someone recommended the tres leches for desert but I went for the churros and they made me happy.

We came in for empanadas but stayed for the music. The dj was great. The drummer was also. We really enjoyed the shrimp empanadas. You can tell that the dough was handmade. It really felt like I was eating a tasty pastry. This place is great for salsa/meringue.

I received the empanadas along with a corona with lime. There was plenty of dancing on the floor which I took apart of as well. Everything was smooth. Mixed drinks give a club vibe and the food was excellent. Service as well.

The food was very authentic and very delicious. I had the churasco with chimichuri along with red beans and white rice. This was the best steak I ever had in my life. The wait was long but well worth it since they do everything fresh. Love this place.

If your looking for a Kareoke night or a night of Latin dancing check this place out on Friday and Saturday's. Place gets full with awesome people. Also try there empanadillas as a starter. Your are treated as family and the food is great. There is plenty of parking so no worries. You should go and really check out the Kareoke if you want to sing some of your favorite Spanish/English songs. I had the grilled chicken with some yummy rice and beans. Check out the lively bartender Bambi. She makes some awesome drinks. We had a big group birthday and we're comfortably accommodated. Check it out
