Attentive wait staff, ready to refill your water, or check in. We had the cocido, with tender beef, vegetable, and excellent broth seasoning.

They didn’t know how to use coupon. Last time we went there they used the coupon but our bill was only 21.34 and they discounted the $10.00 so I think they’re confused

All of the wait staff was wonderful! Waitresses that weren’t with our table would offer to refill our drinks and check on us. The teamwork was apparent. The food was delicious!
