Hope Ruth: First time here!! Amazed by the food!! I had chupe de camarón & roasted half chicken.... I'm happy
Kate Griggs: The waiters are so caring and awesome. Ask for recommendations!! Also, the Nutcracker is a stellar drink, worth the NYC price
New York Habitat: Get a pitcher of sangria and the pollo a la brasa or lomo saltado. Yup, it's gonna be a good night.

Richard L Gant: Pollo ala Brasa, black beans and yellow rice, each and every time. Its the best dish in the house.
Kevin Tung: half chicken yellow rice!
