“ Food is absolutely delicious and they give big portions. Our waitress was also very nice! Will definitely be coming back. ”
“ Parking is really difficult around this area. We found parking that was available till 4pm. After that time, it becomes a No Standing zone. The restaurant itself is decent and clean. I wouldn't consider it a romantic spot. I tried the ceviche from fish. I needed to add more lemon to bring it up to par. It was served with rice. I ordered an empanada, which was a bit greasy. The cheese inside was more liquid than melted cheese. ”
“ Good food. Will definitely be going back. Finding parking is the only issue. But u can park at a muni meter. I think it was 4 dollars for 2 hours. Not bad at all ”
