The service is amazing! The bartender was attentive and accommodating. However, I found a piece of very long curly hair in my extremely sweet margarita. He was apologetic about it and made me another drink. Most definitely was not the best margarita. I ordered a red sangria which was absolutely delicious. The flavors were well blended and there were lots of pieces of fruit. For dinner, I ordered the chicharrón with rice and black beans along with a side of avacado. The food was cooked too perfection and great portion sizes. The star of the show was the black beans. They were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. I utterly enjoyed them and the chipotle mayo dipping sauce for the chicken. Would I come back?! Hmmm....Maybe!
Mauro and Juan Carlos are simply the best servers you could ask for! The Churrasco was nothing short of spectacular--absolutely delicious and mouthwatering! This restaurant deserves a full 5 stars without a doubt! Don't miss out!
stumbled in after a random meet up in yonkers, it was PACKED on an early saturday evening. service was slow! the shrimp rice is a must get - its a huge portion, its called a side, but i had it as an entree. the chicken & seafood mofongo was amazing. we split it. we did mix of chicken and seafood. the place is beautiful. the parking can be annoying.
Came in on a rainy Saturday, and was quickly seated and greeted. Ordered a drink and couldn't help but want to eat everything on the menu since the aroma in the restaurant was mouth watering. Started off with the Pollo Cubano which is boneless chicken breast with peppers, olives & capers in a white wine sauce served with moro y guandules. All I can say is this was so good , literally cleaned my plate . Also ordered the chicken empanadas, which were freshly fried , the chicken was moist and the sauce was perfect for dipping. This place not only has a great aesthetic, but the staff is very welcoming and the food is authentic and very flavorful. Of your in the area definitely stop in .
This restaurant continues to stay heads above the rest. The food is consistently delicious and succulent. Let's not even discuss the drinks this place presents from red and white wine to the best frozen margaritas even better than Cancun.
