Jill Grafflin: This is not sloppy burrito Mexican. This is family recipes, lovingly made by a native chef trained in French cooking. Balanced flavors, complex mole, love the sopes. Very close to 7 Train too.
Carissa Miller: Amazing and fresh! I would definitely recommend the Sopes de Chorizo and the Enchiladas Salsa Verde!
Nathan: Get the chorizo sopes and the lengua tacos.

debz: Braised beef sopes. Do it.
Sarah Lee: Getting the empanadas was the best tip ever on foursquare. If you're unsure of flavor, go for the empanada sampler. It's worth it and great to share for two or more people.
TenantKing.com: This place comes with a beautiful view and stylish interior decor. While you enjoy the sights, make sure to get the chips and salsa to start!

Alicia L: Bar side is the best, the seafood is fresh and delicious, oh and the caipirinha's (drink similar to a mojito, made with rum, limes and brown sugar) are on the $$
Rosalina Alves: Eat at the bar. The dining room is nice, but the bar is better!
Elizabeth Mardones: Sangria us great, nice & strong- seafood dishes are always on point! Lobster was yummy
Kathleen Nichols: The service is warm, efficient, and friendly. The food is authentic, well prepared, and beautifully presented.
Jack Teng: Get the lamb chops. And paella valencia. You will not regret it!

Marcelo Fleitas: The milanesa de carne sandwich, chicken empanadas, and churros con dulce de leche are AMAZING and this is coming from a guy who was born in Uruguay and knows his Dulce de Leche ;)
Andrea H: 45 minutes to get here by train from UWS but it was with every minute of traveI! Left with 2kg of Argentinian yerba mate, a cafe con Leche, an empanada, and dulce du LECHE for under $20! LOVED IT.
Nicolle Vee Loayza: Has amazing desserts, empanadas, and great sandwiches. They're mainly Uruguayan/Argentinian, but they carry some decent Colombian items. Try the alfajores cookies, which are dulce de leche cookies.

Bill Murphy: Get the Milanesa De Res but ask for Salsa Crilola & a couple fried eggs on it: AMAZING!
Bill Murphy: There's a bunch of these bad boys around the hood, not all are 24/7 unfortunately. Bandeja Tipica is a good start but there's tons of good stuff on the menu, w/ lots of pix if your spanglish sucks
The Mister Mister: Been coming here since 1993. Best damn restaurant, I love this place.
