Was highly disappointed that with 15 open tables, they wouldn't sit me while waiting for the 2nd person in my party. So I left. But have been here otherwise. Meh, it's okay. Outside seating is nice.

Get the Sushi Latino. Best thing on the menu.

A-MAZE-ING churrasco appetizer and sugar cane capirinha! Dissapointing service by the wait staff. Do NOT order white sangria pitchers, order water-it's cheaper and tastes the same.

Parsley sauce on steaks and eggs is delicious. Great brunch deal but slooow service.

The platano relleno is a must have, along with the sangria or mojito.
Raul C.November 17, 2010
Come here before 8pm for happy hour specials, drinks are half off and they're really strong. Get a mojito!

Has good latino music but they discourage dancing and service staff will ask you to stop dancing and is very rude to you.

Attempting to be seated before your entire party is here is a nightmare even when countless available tables are visible.
Prince NarangSeptember 15, 2013
Great drinks but the food was ok. Would definitely come back for the mojitos or the sangria but not the food.

CRAB CAKES BENEDICT is off the charts good!
Damon JohnsonJanuary 9, 2013
Eh, if a couple orders the ceviche taster and two entrees with drinks... You may want to comp the extra tortilla chips. You might not lose another customer.
