"Went on a Friday night around 9:30 and they were very empty. So much so that there was only one waiter and one greeter whom we had to wait for. The waiter was still great but he was so rushed between our table and the others that he was almost running to give us good service. The owner came by to invite us to watch a belly dance performance that someone had hired for his birthday out in the mall but I never saw him again. Nice, but not why we were there. One of the female employees was holed up in the only bathroom stall with toilet paper for nearly ten minutes. IDK what she was doing but she had the stall door open when I walked in and closed it quickly. I waited patiently and listened while she shuffled papers, plastic and clothing. Finally I had to ask if there was another female to address the empty stall since she wasn't coming out. They never did and when I went back five minutes later, she'd packed up her stuff. My husband's food was okay, he had the Puerto Rican Platter which wasn't anything special at all. I had the Jerk Chicken and the spice level was okay, but it tasted as if someone had dropped the whole canister of salt onto my dish. They replaced it with the street tacos which turned out to be good. Unfortunately I think they were ready for us to go because my beans and rice came out in plastic take out containers on my plate. All in all, not worthy of a return visit for us. Should have gone next door to the Cheesecake Factory."
