This Latin America restaurant is casual cool found in a strip mall off of McMullen booth and enterprise. I was a bit concerned when it was empty at 1pm but there were still plenty of take out orders coming and leaving.This isn't a traditional restaurant with servers but rather order at the counter from the menu on the wall and either take it to go or they bring to your table. Similar to some fast food places.The main fare is roasted chicken. I had the meal with white chicken and 2 sides. Sides were fried cheese and sweet plantains. Drinks you choose from the fridge. Latin America options, American options and imported beer.The chicken came with two small sauces that were good.$14 minus the drink If you're looking for fast but not fast food lunch and are in the Clearwater McMullen booth area check it out!

This restaurant is beautifully decorated and operated by a family. The menu is displayed on the wall and is easy to read. I ordered a half regular chicken with yucca and coleslaw. After placing my order, the staff brought the food to my table. It arrived piping hot, and all the ingredients were fresh! My only suggestion would be to enhance the flavor profile of the spices; while the food is good, I believe it could leave diners craving more. Overall, I will definitely be coming back!

Everything was delicious—the plantains were cooked to perfection, and the quinoa and black beans along with the string beans were exceptional. It’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed a rotisserie chicken with such mouth-watering herbs and spices. It was so tender! The restaurant was clean and smaller in size, but that didn’t matter. The music was also quite nice. Food: 5/5

There were also two sauces that were very tasty. I loved my dinner. They also used sustainable packaging, most of it was compostable, which is very responsible. I am glad I checked the restaurant out!
