This is a really good restaurant, great food, good drinks, funny names for the plates and drinks, prices are fine. Service was ok, the waiter was more interested in her phone, that in her tables. I can understand all that,but the music was extremely loud, don't get me wrong, the music was good, but we had to yell trying to have a conversation with the friends and family that haven't seen in years.

I like to try the ceviche when it offer and was pleasantly surprise how authentic it was versus many other I have had. The Paella was excellent and a good size. Enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant.

appetizers were correct and delicious. Waitress did not write anything down and it took 3 times to get my main dish correct, though for the third attempt, I had to completely change my order. Asked for a manager and was ignored. I will never return and would not recommend.

A neighborhood bar with an incidental restaurant. We went to eat Cuban style but seems they were trying to be "fusion". Bottom line for us: "confusion" - where are the rice and beans; "illusion" can't be a couple making out at the bar? ( Yes!). Not our kind of place.

First, the Margarita cocktail was made with margarita mix: embarrassing for a Latin restaurant not to make cocktails from scratch. It's expected at the airport but not at a Latin restaurant. Second, beet salad with canned beets and carrots. Third, farm-raised salmon that was overcooked and dry with a corn and onion side dish made with frozen corn. Fourth, a flavorless Tres leches cake and under baked profiterol. All the courses were pushed on us in a rushed. $50 prix fix tab without drinks for 'Diner' food in a rush? I don't think so. My first and last visit.
