| - It's good but I guess I wasn't as wowed as other yelpers. My fiancé and I came here a few weeks ago on a Sunday around 3ish. There was only 2 other tables occupied which we were pleasantly surprised about. I will start by saying I was literally floored and disgusted at how filthy the 'velvet' cushion on the long communal bench in the dining area is. It literally looks like people wipe their dirty hands on it and then I'm expected to sit on it and also put my purse down? Absolutely not.
I can't remember our waitresses name, however she was nice. To drink, I ordered a mimosa and my fiancé ordered a punch. Our drinks came out probably 10 minutes later (I was literally facing the bar, to which I just saw the waitresses congregating and chatting). The drinks finally came over, my mimosa was warm and my fiancé's drink was huge and meant for two people (two straws). You would think our waitress would tell him that.
For apps we had the ceviche and my fiancé had a few things that are slipping my mind. The ceviche was good but the fish wasn't cut up small enough. It lacked quite a bit of flavor but that was made up by the arepa triangles, which were fantastic. For entrees, I had these open faced small chicken tacos and they were absolutely delicious. I ordered plantains as my side which were also yummy. My fiancé ordered a shit ton of food and I really can't remember all of it but he really enjoyed his stuff too. We had sauces on our table, however none of them were explained to us until we asked, which wasn't helpful seeing as there was like, 4. I took the leftover ceviche home and cut the fish into smaller pieces, added more red onion + lime and it was bomb. The arepas triangles don't reheat well (to be expected). I will say the elephant in the room was the fact that my fiancé had this dumb punch half drank on the table the entire time. He couldn't finish it since it's basically just sugar and I didn't want it so it was a huge waste of money. Had he known it was so big he wouldn't have ordered it. Again, this could have been mentioned from the waitress seeing as we then got beers and it just.... sat there.
Like I said, everything was good but the service is slow, lackluster and I refuse to get over the dirty bench. I'm not dying to go back but would go if I was in the area.
