"As a Latin couple from Miami and New York City, we’re discerning when it comes to Spanish and Latin cuisine. We hoped the food would be exceptional alongside the live entertainment, and we were not disappointed. The pork appetizer was tender and well-seasoned, and the yucca croquettes were excellent. Our main courses of fresh seafood, including shrimp in salsa criolla, were served over perfectly fried green plantains. They also offer a variety of paellas. The service was attentive and friendly, with the owner personally ensuring that everyone’s needs were met. The dancers were entertaining and encouraged audience participation, making the experience even more enjoyable. The open doors added to the ambiance of dining outside, and if guests needed a quieter setting, they could simply request to sit back inside. There were also seating options on the balcony, and while families with children are welcome, it seemed appropriate to keep the area calm and pleasant. While this restaurant is pricier than others, it offers an exceptional dining experience that far exceeds typical tourist spots. Our evening was a memorable one, filled with fantastic food, excellent service, and lively entertainment. To our surprise, our costs were lower than we anticipated given the quality we received. A little gesture, like a complimentary drink to celebrate our anniversary, would have been a lovely touch, but nonetheless, we will definitely return here in the future."
