I was hesitant to come here after reading the awful reviews, but ended up being pleasantly surprised. Mainly, the food was solid - I had the chicken soup which was flavorful and quite good w yucca, chicken and a half corn on the cob. Accompanying rice, avocado and plantains were excellent . Companions had snapper (warning! Whole fish served fried!) which was a bit salty but still good. Sampler platter was heavy on meat - could've skipped this one.
The service was shaky, mainly because our young server was clearly not fluent in English and not experienced managing multiple tables in a busy restaurant. He was pleasant however, as was the host and any billing errors were sidestepped because a different person processed our check. I'd recommend anyone on the fence to at least give this place a shot.
