Fresh shrimp marinated in citrus, mixed with tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, served chilled for a zesty seafood delight.

"Visited here for the first time with my husband and his cousin who was visiting NY. It was one of the few places that had available tables on a Friday night and took reservations. When we arrived we had to wait a few minutes for them to clear our table and the entire restaurant was super crowded. They did have glass partitions between tables but considering COVID-19 is airborne, those would do very little in terms of protection. Thankfully, we?re fully vaccinated. Our server was a real gem. She was so sweet and attentive. We had to yell everything across the table because it was sooooo loud! Turning the music down 10% would have made it more comfortable. When the mariachi band played, as fun and enjoyable as it was, the combination of that plus the music raised the noise levels to about 110 decibels. Workers should get their hearing tested. The food was alright. Nothing too special. Tostones were hard as rocks! Shrimp tacos were dry, overcooked, and flavorless. Chicken fajitas were bland. I actually ate the sides that accompanied my husband?s main course and didn?t touch my tacos again after 1 bite. The highlight of the night were the drinks. God damn they make a mean margarita! I tried the Willy?s Panchos margaritas. It was sooo strong but so delicious. This is definitely the place to go if you want great tasting and well-priced cocktails but don?t care too much about getting food. Everyone says the other locations are more spacious, perhaps I?ll try those next time."

"I went to Rumba Cubana Guttengerg yesterday for my mom's birthday. Our waiter was very accomodating, friendly and professional. We had an assortment of diahes. All good. My thing is the place was packed and hectic with students graduation and their families arriving in masses. You could see the place gradually getting more and more crowdy amd yet the staff kept pushing food out amd taking orders. We spent several hours in there but it was enjoybale and fun to watch and be part of the celebrations. The staff was gracious and hard as well as smart working! Again, we had so much food yet the prices were decent and the drinks prices were equally decent. I will highly recomend the Papamaya made with Patron White and natural papaya puree. The best amd healthiest cocktail I've had in a while! In addition, the Rumba Cubana in Guttennerg has valet parking which is extremely convenient because althought street parking is available more often than not at peak hours parkin is not easy. People are friendly and they go there to eat and drink. I will come back and have been for a number of years even if this is my first review I've been a customer for over a decade and Rumba Cubana in Guttengber gets better with time. See you'll there!"

"I absolutely loved this restaurant. I ordered the Quesabirria and I must say, I am very particular about my Birria. The dish was delicious, and by adding a bit of salt to the broth, I was able to enhance the spice flavor even more. The extra hot salsa served with the dish was a great addition. The meat and cheese inside the tortillas was fantastic and there was plenty of it. The dish also came with rice, which I poured the leftover broth onto, and it was just as excellent. The restaurant has a fun Mexican decor, despite the name not quite matching, and the food was amazing. I tried a huge quesadilla with steak, chicken, and shrimp for a reasonable price, and the choriqueso dip was top-notch. The salsa was flavorful and fresh, the chips were crispy and warm, and the service was very attentive. From the outside, the restaurant may not look like much, but I highly recommend giving it a try. It's a great experience."

"I love the ambiance inside. You would never know from the outside how welcoming and inviting the inside is...it feels like you have been transported to a mini vacay in someplace tropical and warm. The service is very good and everyone works quickly and efficiently. I had a limeade with my lunch special and it all really hit the spot. The lunch special is not on the menu...but it is good home cooked food and incredibly reasonable. The chicken soup it started with was the best thing I ate by far...next time I want an even bigger giant bowl of that please....soooooo good with the cilantro!!! The ribs and rice and beans were good but nothing to blow you away like the soup. I would like to go back and try a larger and more creative entree. Something a little more complicated and or substantial with more seasoning...if they nail that I will change my rating to 5 stars. Nice touch at the end with the mints that came with the check as well."

"The food is too pricey, they serve you only a half of cup of beans and white rice. Usually authentic restaurants serve you more beans then that especially if it's for two people. Their bathrooms have water saving old system which sadly they need to change asap. It gets clogged to easy and to me that's a big don't go back. They only get 2 stars because they do have a bar and the place is bit centric for a stop and go but I would not recommend it for a picky, clean eater like myself.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp but don't go past 4:00pm too crowded."

"The food at this restaurant is consistently excellent, but we were disappointed by the service during our recent visit. Despite usually being efficient, the staff seemed unenthusiastic and unhelpful. Simple requests for items like water and salsa were met with resistance, and even when they were eventually brought to us, the server neglected to offer us chips. The server was also distracted, sitting near the bar and engaging in conversations with colleagues instead of attending to our needs. In the past, a manager would check in on us, but this time they did not. We hope this was just an isolated incident and not a developing trend, as we typically enjoy dining at this location."

"I am compelled to write this review because even though I am not Peruvian, I grew up eating authentic Peruvian cuisine. This place is a hidden gem, I have been to many Peruvian restaurants in Miami and there ceviche is amazing. This is a small restaurant, but don't be misled the chef is wonderful. There typical traditional dishes like Lomo Saltado( steak strips mixed with French fries)and their Chaufa de Mariscos(combination of seafood) is also delicious. There beer Cusqueña, has a nice light side to it complements the dishes well. There are some dishes that are family style and can be shared. The only complaint if that is that there Sangria is average and in my opinion expensive for what it is. As for the service, they are pretty good and attentive to your needs. Lastly, the pictures on the walls give you a nice feel and are pretty. Enjoy this hidden gem."

"I just moved to the area god awful this place. Do not drink the red sangria its full of syrup and a drop of red wine, i got so sick it upset my stomach bad. The portions are a joke, huge plate such little food/presentation. The skirt steak was good but not for the price. Service was so awful to the point not worth complaining just laugh it off with your partner and make the best of it. Server is always MIA in the beginning but ALWAYS on top and around when the bill is set paid. Utensils are disgusting and so messed up. We took 4 from the table next to us to have all 3 dirty, crusty old food on the knife in between the fork head. The only one who made it nice and showed they cared a the busser. He was so sweet cared spoke with us, i rather have tipped him than our server. I will stick with East Meadow cleaner, nicer, busier, better portions"

"Initially I gave this place a good review. Unfortunately the review is going to be bad. Expensive pure garbage for what we ordered! Seriously leave town and head over to another place. We got a sampler appetizer that was over 33.00 and if !t wasn't what we got then I don't know..... melted cheese covered plate to hide the skimp of frozen products.... service non grata! Really people? Not sure why you settle? Bad!"

"I was looking for a place to have lunch with several people in Scottsdale. I knew the weather would be nice and this place looked like it had some good outdoor seating which it did. I didn't realize the restaurant was in a hotel so we had a little bit of trouble finding the place but it is in a great location in Old Town. The restaurant called me twice prior to my reservation to make sure we were coming which I thought was odd because the place was virtually empty when we showed up. At first the service was extremely good actually too good. We wanted to have a leisurely lunch start out with drinks and apps but we felt like we were being rushed to order main courses. But then, after we did order everyone seemed to disappear and it took forever to order more drinks and then to get our check. All in all, the experience wasn't bad the food was very good but I would have preferred a livelier place where my group could have enjoyed a long lunch without feeling like we were burdening the restaurant"

"Went on a Saturday evening and it was quite packed; a lively crowd with music playing in the background and baseball game on tv's. I ordered camarafongo (mofongo with shrimp) with a garlic sauce which I enjoyed for the most part. Wish there had been more sauce, but the plaintain with chicharron (pork) was the most enjoyable part of the dish; the plaintain was soft, great texture and very tasty. The dish contained only 6 shrimp and were not the really good jumbo shrimp which I would have preferred. They tasted rather bland, seeming a bit overcooked. I was disappointed that for the price of the dish, they did not offer some nice fresh bread and butter before the main course arrived. For hand towels, there were just regular napkins; no hand sanitizers were offered for wiping your hands after eating a meal you have to partially use your hands and fingers for. The decor of the place definitely could use a revamping; there are old unattractive pieces of art on the walls that do nothing at all to lift up the ambience of the place and the lighting is old and outdated as well. I was surprised because they seem to do good business, but it seems as if these features are not important at all. I was even more surprised when I had to go downstairs to use the ladies restroom and the hand soap was in a large plastic 1 gallon bottle with a dispenser! The bottle looked like the container the soap actually came in when purchased. Not sure if having attractive looking soap dispensers might be an invitation for someone to want to take it home with them? Lastly, I ordered a tiramisu for dessert which I decided to take home with me. I must say I definitely enjoyed the dessert and was glad I decided to order it as we were waiting for the bill. I might consider going again, but would probably try something different. Even though the quality of the food is what counts, it would be nice if they had a facelift done to their place!"

"I’ve heard great things about this place so I finally checked it out. Food was excellent. We got a fajitas and shrimp tacos. We also shared a guacamole and plantains. Our table was too small for the food we ordered, especially since the fajitas are served on a huge wood board. Service was subpar and the noise level in here is insane. You can’t even hear the waiter or the people at your own table. We got churros for dessert and they were not and edible and the worst we’ve ever had."

"I have a couple of favorite restaurants, but since this one is close to my home, I decided to give it a shot. We visited in the late evening for dinner and chose the surf and turf molcajete, which was quite flavorful. However, I wasn’t a fan of the unpeeled shrimp, but that’s just a personal preference. My daughter can be somewhat of a picky eater, and they prepared a large chicken fried rice plate for her, which was quite generous for a child. I enjoyed the taste, but unfortunately, she didn’t like it, so I ended up taking it home. The service was okay, but it could have been improved, as we were only offered a drink refill once."

"Visited for the first time on the day of work after our first and second choice for lunch for the day closed and Pollos El Paisa should have been our first choice! Outside it looks like an old dinner that turns to what it is today nothing special until you enter and are greeted by friendly hosts, owners and staff. And the food? loaded overflowing tasty food stacked on plates that make everyone happy, also the friends/family at home because you bring the uneven left remains home! We ordered the paella for 2 with half a Brat chicken and platanos on the side this could have been for 4 or 5! The seasoning was correct and not too salty on everything. Roast chicken fell from the bone. The platanos were sweating, soft and tangie. The mango lamp hit the spot. A great place with delicious Colombian dishes on your plate all served with a smile. Besides, the toilets were very clean! This will be a first choice when we are in the area in the future!"

"My date and I waited hours to be seated with reservations and then we were forgotten about once we got to our table not even a glass of water). It's a very nice looking restaurant , but unfortunately their service is very subpar. I understand it was valentine's day and I hope their service isn't that bad on a regular day. Pretty bummed since I was really excited to try this spot out, but luckily there was a Mongolian BBQ spot off Sunset that saved our night ."

"Never coming here again. I am not picky when it?s comes to eating at restaurants however I got scammed and the food was horrible. The food was just reheated and the chicken was hard to eat. When the check came, our waitress over charged us but I didn?t question her because I thought it was an honest mistake. Now that I?m looking at my bank statement she over charged me EVEN MORE. Plus, I left a great tip in cash which I regret now. Horrible experience. (Also it?s a verysketchy place)"

"I was in a pinch for lunch so I went here to grab a sandwich. I figured a bagel place on LI and you can't go wrong. Wrong! I just got a simple turkey, lettuce, tomato, mustard on a roll. The roll was yesterdays. Stale. The macaroni salad that came with it was gross. I think there was water added to the mayo in it. And the pickle was nasty. It was soggy and old. It cost me $15 for a lunch that I threw most of it away and I'm still hungry.The only silver lining was the man that helped me was very nice and had a smile on his face. However, when I walked in and asked if we order at that counter or by the register the first man who helped me was was rude and pointed the sign hanging 1 inch from the ceiling. lol. I think the nicer man may have felt bad that the first guy was so rude. Needless to say, never again!No photos to share because everything is in the trash."
