Food is VERY delicious! I ordered a carne asada with their blended beans and yellow rice and they were delicious! The girl who served me Joseline and the gentleman at the bar Don Antonio were very kind to me and my baby. I felt sorry that it wasn't full at lunch time because the food is very good and the wait for the food was very short (almost 15 minutes and freshly made) The only “negative” thing is that it smelled like gas (a little) Otherwise very good, I hope more people come to lunch!

The worst thing here is that they discriminate against us for being trans women. But here we are in the USA and the same Latin community discriminates against you, how horrible

This place is so nice, really enjoyed this place. (Traducido por Google) este lugar es tan agradable, realmente disfruté este lugar.
