"This place never disappoints. Every time I go there is something new on the menu to try. Love the tapas style as it allows to order different dishes to share. Also it is small and quaint. This is a regular spot when I have guest coming to town"

MUST for Happy Hour

This place is a MUST for happy hour. My friends and I come here a lot to share some sangrias and small plates. The arepa con chicharron is amazing and I love the flight of sauces, salsas, and aiolis they serve. I could put that Chimichurri on everything! Don’t skip on the cocktails! They’re super delicious and picturesque!

If you haven't been here yet and you live within 100 miles... you need to get in your car now and make your way. The food is off the charts good! The staff is fun and friendly. Places like this are hard to find so take advantage asap.

The food here is excellent, especially with those sauces they bring out. The staff is very nice and they also make some good drinks. Had the old fashioned and the margarita before and I highly recommend it.
