    I'd give it 3.6 stars. There's plenty of parking for the size of the restaurant. Allow me to differentiate between mofongo which is a Puerto Rican dish made with plantains, a protein, and Mangu(tilde on the U) which is a Dominican dish also made with plantains, and a protein. I've read some reviews that indicate this is a Dominican restaurant, and although the staff is for the most part Dominican, the dishes, and food they serve are Puerto Rican. Even the music they play is while you eat. They start you with hot, delicious, toast you'll eat more than one i assured you. So we ordered passion fruit margarita, regular margarita (the size, taste, and price don't coincide). For apps calamari(a bit greasy appeared refried), fried cheese( cheese, fresh, hot, with a guava sauce delicious), yuca frita ( fried cassava fresh and tasty). Main course ordered a chuleta kan kan(pork chop usually twice as big as the regular chop. The texture was rough, and too thick). We also ordered a mofongo with churrasco ( skirtsteak which juicy, tender, fresh, at the right temperature, the size was very small). The other churrasco that was ordered was cold, and it tasted good. The service by the staff was professional, attentive, and courteous. One more observation the men's restroom needs an upgrade desperately. I probably won't return again.

    When we arrived, we were seated and served water. After a while we had to remind the waitress that our order had not been placed.When we received the bill we were surprised to find that they charge two dollars for each glass of tap water and there is an additional charge if you use your credit card. I was not impressed at all.

    The drinks were watered down and extremely overpriced ($20 for a margarita). It was literally lemon juice. To top it off, my husband and I ordered a platter of appetizers and we stepped away from our table so he could grab a smoke and our server grabbed the platter to throw it away. We had ronchad after her (we had not even touched it). She thought we were leaving. Mind you, we still had half a bucket of beer and liquor on our table. The music wasnโ€™t the best. Terrible customer service. I am Dominican and was looking for a nice spot to in Tampa to eat, drink and dance some merengue, bachata and tรญpico. Save your money. Food is good; the club however, not worthy

    One of the worst meals Iโ€™ve ever had. I try to one post good reviews. But this place was awful. Food was tough and bland. Water is served in bottles and service is terrible. Waited an hour and the waitress came ONCE. Never coming back and do not recommend at all. Expensive and low quality..

    Iโ€™ll start by saying this: the staff is great here. Everyone had a nice personality and was very helpful. The food is ok, I wouldnโ€™t consider this a steakhouse though. I ordered a skirt steak, and the size was so small compared to my wifeโ€™s skirt steak. It had to be maybe 6 oz of skirt steak maximum. The calamari we ordered looked like onion rings, it had to be some frozen Restaurant depot type calamari, and it was way over cooked. It actually had a snap like a rubber band, which I did not enjoy. The mofongo was decent, there were some dry pieces of pork that were not edible. Overall not worth the money.

    We had a group of 8 people and we're very impressed by our server's ability to keep everything straight. Food was great. Only problem was time to pay everyone paid separately, and we were not told of large group tip minimum so we paid double tips. Make sure to check your bill. Lesson learned!

    It was a disappointment going to this restaurant. There were 2 waiters and the younger one was nice but the other one was not so good. They didn't give me one of my sides but they did charge me for and they overcooked my steak. Meat tastes weird, like it was frozen multiple times.

    I have never been to a place with such bad service. You ask for something and they forget it. The food of some never arrives. When we made the reservation, they told us to see the music, the music never came. I asked for a cancan chop and what they brought me was a round of ham fried in old oil. It smelled of burnt. I'm not going back to that place.

    Mae was amazing and very attentive to everything we asked for. I give this place and Mae a100 stars. The food was also great. I apologize for the picture of my half eaten food but it was amazing.
