I could only manage to finish a quarter of the chicken sandwich I ordered, which was drenched in mayonnaise and utterly tasteless. The fries were equally unappetizing, lacking any seasoning like salt or pepper. Soon after, I experienced a terrible stomachache. I couldn't even eat the bread because it was soggy from the mayo. I certainly won't be coming back.

Everytime I think of this place, I would think of how yummy the fish was. Today, I came back for the fish, but decided to get the Tuesday's special, Paella. It has a nice balance of meat and rice. I has mussles, tiny clams, calamari, shrimp, sausage, and chicken. The rice was a little more moist than I prefer and I am ok with the seasoning used. I don't see myself ordering it again... But definitely the Trout next time. The staff seems more quiet and reserved, but they did their job well. The restaurant appears to be clean. They even gave me and a couple of patrons a small slice of cake. I excited because I have been staring at their cakes and am wondering how they will taste. The cake was moist and has a lot of flavor. The icing melted in my mouth. The little slice is plenty for me after the big plate of Paella. I got a table by the window and the sun was shining in. The waitress was so thoughtful and lowered the shades without me asking... I didn't even think to lower the shade because the sun wasn't shining on my, just my table. I didn't finish my food, and the waitress was so helpful offered me a container to take my food even though I wasn't planning on taking it. She cleared my table as I enjoy the free cake. One of the reviewers mentioned a 20% tip added to the order. That didn't happen to me. Maybe for large orders or group? Overall, I have a great experience. Will come back again... Sooner than several years

The bakery counter offers genuine South American breads and a delightful selection of desserts that have all left a lasting impression on me. Although the menu is quite varied, I recommend concentrating on the South American specialties, as they really showcase the kitchen's skill. Ever since I tasted the Salteñas, I've been utterly captivated!

Try the Chairo soup. Beef soup it is so good with tender beef. The Fricase soup/stew with pork ribs which is flavorful and a little spicy. The stews here are good with rice and some chocolo (corn). Nicely done and flavorful.
