    People who work here are friendly and pleasant. Restaurant is more or less clean. There's a TV, but it's unobtrusive. The menu is extensive and fun. Fusion Spanish food. Has a lot of seafood as well as Dominican, Colombian, Mexican. Sadly, what we ordered pretty much sucked. Pernil: C+ Oh, God, it was dry. Dry, dry, dry. You get a very large portion of extremely dry meat with a "cap" of nicely crisped fat. The kind of crispy fat you'd expect from pernil. However, there is very little flavor (compared to my wife's pernil, which may be an unfair comparison, since her pernil rocks my world -- I would've married her for her pernil alone). Very little flavor, and dry, dry, dry. No pernil marinade (that I could taste). There was lime served on the side, but the pernil should be *cooked* with lime. Not enough fat. It was either vastly overcooked or reheated aggressively with dry heat. Tip to the chef: reheating things in a pan and sprinkling water on the meat yields much nicer meat than popping it in the microwave. Using a microwave to reheat meat never works. It overcooks the meat. I consider it inedible. Pollo Mexicano: C+ Similar problem as the pernil. It has a beautifully flavorful salsa, but the chicken was so dry that you have to choke down the chicken When you take a bite, it's difficult to get the chicken to go down your throat because it's bone dry. They vastly overcook the chicken and make the salsa separately. They then toss the bone dry chicken into the yummy salsa and you get cardboard chicken in a delicious salsa. I consider it inedible.

    Freshest cut in town, these dudes got people coming in from 4 or 5 neighborhoods over. Service deserves a 6/5 but Google wouldn't allow it.

    This place is terrible the woman that runs it has a nasty attitude the food isn't fully cooked I told the waitresses it wasn't fully cooked she gave me attitude when she took the food back to re cook it then the owner finally showed up I explained to her what was my issue she told me there's many other places me and my family could eat rather than her establishment the food finally came back I just paid the bill and took my family to another place but here's the kicker before I left a roach came out and killed it I couldn't believe my eyes all that attitude and have roaches in your restaurant unbelievable I wish I would have taken a picture or video or the roaches ready to join me and my family at the table

    Excellent food and hospitality! You get a significant amount of value for your money as the food keeps on coming. Also, there are many food options and drinks that are complementary. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant especially if you are hungry.
