rob zandJune 13, 2017this was spectacularly average. the appetizers seemed frozen. also pricey. many better options. find one.
Love the 1905 salad, sangria, and black bean soup
Michael BenedictJanuary 22, 2011Stay away from Stan at the bar, always in a bad mood, otherwise grab a mojito
Mike ZJanuary 16, 2012Way overhyped. The Arroz Con Pollo is not worth the 45 minute cooking time. Its a half tasteless dry chicken and mushy tasteless rice. Thank goodness for hot sauce.
John WhitingJune 21, 2010Mojito was better than average, but overrated. Pitcher made fresh at the table was a plus!
Call ahead and pick up the food. The service is very slow, but the food is good. The mojito is overrated.
Dr. Matt FinkeApril 2, 2010Not very kid or casual dress friendly. Server seemed rushed & bothered that we were at his table.
- Peter ParradoNovember 19, 2017Nothing, not happy with the fish or the Milanesa or the rice or the 1905 salad
