"Let me start by saying do not order the boneless chicken.. I've ordered boneless chicken from other restaurants before that were prepped with 100% chicken breast.. we had to send the boneless chicken back for a second time because it was chewy and it smelled like they used recycled oil to prepare it.. Aside from it looking pink and undercooked inside...smdfh...The rice and beans was ok... When the waitress returned with the second order of newly cooked boneless chicken, it looked and tasted the same as the first order..We have had enough and just paid for what we were able to eat and left..That chicken seemed to have been made from other chicken parts as well like legs and thigh meat...Was not tasty at all and nobody in my group liked it adults and kids) .. I Don't recommend the boneless chicken..To be honest, I wont ever eat there again..Their Dominican style cuisine was subpar.. I've had better from other local spots.. They dont even have a restaurant by grade yet pending)..My honest opinion...Go to Campesino Dominicano in the Bronx instead or Casa Del Mofongo in the Heights...smdfh at this restaurant.."

"Was looking for a quick meal to grab when I stopped here starving. This Venezuelan eatery offers all the typical fare you?d expect (at great prices) and even has a couple notable specials like 2 of their Engy Hot Dogs with a fountain soda for only $3.99 after 3p.m. I decided to go for their ?You Can?t Eat Just One Empanadita? special to start which includes 3 fried empanadas of your choice and a fountain soda for $3.99. The empanadas were mediocre, nothing special to rave about though I really enjoyed their house sauces served with them which you shouldn?t miss out on! For my entree I decided to get their Steak Pepiarepa $8.99 since I had never seen anything like it before. Their Pepiarepas are fried arepas cut into chunks, cabbage, tomatoes, ham, boiled egg, mustard, ketchup and their house ?engy? sauce so kind of like a deconstructed arepa served in a bowl with your choice of protein. I think I would have preferred ordering a normal stuffed arepa to this even though the flavors and combination were somewhat tasty. Some of the ingredients (like the arepa and steak pieces) were over cooked making it chewy and the whole thing taste pretty second-rate. I did come 30 minutes before closing which I usually try to avoid and maybe is why my meal came out just okay. The staff was very friendly and it was an inviting eatery, but I can?t see myself venturing back any time soon."

"Having lived in San Francisco my entire life and having eaten at every salvadorian restaurant for the last half century, I have to tell you hands down these are the very very best pupusa's in San Francisco. The staff is very helpful always especially when you are on the phone ordering something for take out. The owner makes sure that everyone is made welcome by the entire staff. During the pandemic I believe they made some remodeling upgrades which makes it even nicer and yes there is a parklet outside for outside dining. They have the most delicious orchard I like it by the pint. Thank you to the amazing staff. Muchisimas gracias"

"I look forward to tasting this new restaurant at grand rapids and finally had the chance to do that. the items on the menu are marked to display elements that are gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan. I was pulled to the jibarito sandwich, as it had a bunk of fried plantains and was filled with vegan nut case chorizo (nut case is an organic vegan meat substitute made from chreide and nuts and does not contain soy or gluten and is made before site in grand rapids). the sandwich was very tasty and the bungalow had a nice snack on it. they have very well paired the aromen together to make a tasteful sandwich. the Malangaries are different from traditional French fries; while they were good, I'll probably try the Malanga chips next time. while the menu can be small and has only a few vegan options, I hope that they will continue to add more options in the future and maybe contain a vegan dessert option. had 5 stars given, except there is no vegetarian/veganes restaurant. will definitely go back!"

"One of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. The service was excellent, especially with my entire Spanish class here. They were very patient and I'm so happy we chose this place for lunch."

"I felt the need to share my experience at this restaurant because, well, why not? The empanadas were just okay; the chicken was pretty bland, although the beef was acceptable. I would give the cheese a 5/10—I'm sure it would taste better if it were made fresh. I definitely wouldn't recommend their quesadilla. It was filled with shredded chicken, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, ketchup, and mayo inside a flour tortilla, which was, to put it mildly, unappetizing. On a brighter note, the juices were fresh, and the fruits were sliced right in front of me, so kudos for that! I just wish I had known they added both ketchup and mayo to my quesadilla. Unfortunately, it ended up going straight in the trash, and I'm sorry about that."

"we are regularly at this place, but the prices have increased and the service has gone down, as I had to ask for my server several times.) I ordered an acewitschado sushi roll and it did not taste well, as they pour more of their homemade eel sauce than acewitschado did not like it,) they finally eat it. other than that, it was late, there were not so many people; so it was not loud. they have the tables newly arranged, more stands so that it was private, that was beautiful."

"I haven't had the chance to dine at the restaurant yet, but our neighborhood organized for the El Griton Food Truck to come by on Memorial Day! First off, the people running this food truck are incredibly friendly! We pre-ordered some carne asada tacos, a carne asada super burrito, and some chips with queso. We picked up our order and brought it home, and I must say, the food was AMAZING!!!! The quality was excellent, it was cooked to perfection, and it was the best meal we've had in months!!! Now that Georgia has reopened, I will definitely be taking my family and clients to the restaurant! Fantastic food!!!"

"My wife was over the moon when she found out the menu was 100% gluten free. It was the first time we were able to share our entrées with each other in ages. We are looking forward to going back! Definitely a place to try if ur looking for something new. Parking: Don't be discouraged if parking lot looks full. The restaurant has plenty if seating. Park on side street. Dietary restrictions: 100% gluten free Mexican cuisine! (Except for beer but there were 2 cider options and amazing margaritas."

"I was put on this place by a buddy of mine who said it's worth the visit, and he was not wrong at all. Amazing food, reasonable prices, authentic vibe, and they even had live music playing when we went for dinner! I got the tacos cecina (thin cut steak) dinner with all the toppings and it was a beast. They did not skimp on any ingredients, and the salsas on the table were a perfect complement to the meat, guacamole, and beans. Generous portions of rice and refried beans rounded out the meal. But the sneaky winner of the meal was the torta especial: loaded with lightly fried chicken milanesa, cheese, ham, avocado, Chipotle peppers, onion, and Mayo. One of my favorite tortas that I've ever had. This is the item that I would come back here for again and would recommend to anyone who comes here. Highly highly recommend"

"Open Table let me make this reservation. When our party of 6 people arrived, we were told that this restaurant isn't on Open Table and they had NO reservation for us... They were very nice and found a table for us but we had to wait 35 minutes.. Now I will be anxious about making a reservation on Open Table... do you mis-represent the restaurants?????"

"Our first time eating at Samba Taste of Brazil (recommended by friends). Very enjoyable evening. Our server was extremely helpful recommending items to consider. The fried yucca was a fabulous appetizer. My wife had the fish special, which was delicious, and I had their steak, also very good. Would definitely recommend Samba to family and friends."

"C+ rating for the First Visit. We’ve been meaning to check out Mexico Lindo for years now and although we pass it while driving down Highway 280 weekly, we always seem to forget about it. My brilliant husband reminded me of it while we were shopping this past Saturday afternoon and we agreed that we had to check it out. I’m not sure why I thought it would be the average strip mall ambience, but I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in. It was warmly decorated and sectioned off into 3 different dining sections, which made the space feel warm and cozy. We were seated in the bar area along the wall, which I thought would be loud and drafty. Nope – I never even noticed that we were sitting next to the bar. We received very friendly, prompt service and the gentleman that served us was very helpful with the menu – explaining each dish that was in question. I chose the Quesadilla Sincronisada with Shrimp that was served with rice and beans. It was really good – I would definitely get it again. My hubs chose the Pollo a la Charra, served with rice, beans and chorizo. The chicken was super tender and flavorful. Overall, we really liked Mexico Lindo and will return when the craving hits us. I would give Mexico Lindo a C+ for our first visit."

"It was my first visit. It was a busy night, but fortunately we have places. We were told that the paella would take about 40 minutes, but the drinks and small plates we ordered were very tasty (also the small plates with olives and buckets were very tasty) and I didn't feel too long waiting. And I recommend her paellas. The seafood Paella has plenty of good flavors and it was very tasty absolutely waiting. I want to try another paella next time."
