  1. Went here on a whim because we were craving Spanish food. Boy, was it worth the whim!! The good was tasty and savory, not to mention the portions were more than enough. I had the shrimp in garlic sauce and I loved it! I also had a glass of sangria which hit the spot. The service was wonderful; they were friendly and even gave us two shots on the house. Nothing but tastiness at this place! I recommend!

  2. I was here a few nights ago to celebrate my friends birthday and I'm very happy with coming here.

    First, the full staff is very friendly and accommodating; they double checked our order, checked on us a few times throughout the meal and overall made it a very nice dining experience.  

    At first, I had looked at other reviews and photos to gauge what might be best to order.  Between four of us, we had decided we would order five dishes and we could split it among ourselves and try them all.  That was both a good and bad idea; everything we had gotten tasted great but on the other hand the portions were certainly larger than anticipated.  

    The Jalea serving for 4 was enormous.  It was delicious – the fish, calamari, shrimp and yuca.  The seafood fried rice was also a good recommendation.  The picture of pescado a lo macho tasted as good as the picture looks.  The creamy sauce complemented the tender fish excellently.  There was a skirt steak with rice and fries that was pretty good.  Lastly, there was a seafood with special sauce dish that was good and the sauce was probably the same as what was served with the fish filet.  

    The meal was excellent even if we barely finished everything, although I'm not counting the extra white rice that came with each dish.  

    At the end, we brought a cake to celebrate the birthday and the staff was happy to accommodate us.
