"**Restaurant Review:** Date: May 2021 I regret to say that my experience has dropped from a solid 4 stars to just 2. After being away for a few months, I returned to find a disheartening change post-COVID. I ordered a chicken salad, chips, and flautas. The chicken, which used to be warm and perfectly seasoned, was now thin, cold, hard, and overcooked. The flautas, which used to cost around $6, are now $10 and no longer come with that delicious sauce. The quality of the chips has also declined. I really wish the previous owners would come back. Looking back two years ago, the food was genuinely authentic and the restaurant was very welcoming, even to those who don’t speak Spanish. The service was generally good for a casual setting. My only issue was that there was no website to facilitate delivery, and during the summer, the air conditioning just blows on fan mode without providing any cooling. However, I did appreciate the many gluten-free options available."

Such a cute little gem of a place. Full on great homemade fresh Mexican! We had a variety of Tacos and guacamole and nothing disappointed. It's small and fills up fast. No full bar FYI.

I've ordered from there 4 times 2 times in person those times were amazing the 2 times I ordered over the phone it came quick but the 1st time it was the wrong type of beans and the second time my burrito barely had any meat at all I cut it up and still couldnt find the meat. I would recommend only if you are going in they are very nice but the delivered food was beyond disappointing, when I thought theres meat it was cheese

This place is not a friendly atmosphere. They don't serve you in a timely manner. The girls at counter have a nasty personality. When asked about a dish on the menu she shrugged her shoulders to no response. I immediately asked again and she didn't answer. I thought maybe she was having a bad day and didn't take it to no offense. I then tried their delivery service and to my luck the same girl answers the phone. As I was placing my order she then had a attitude. At this View menu

I walked into a Dominican restaurant with my Puerto Rican friend, and we both had the feeling that we didn't belong there due to the way we were treated. I found it unsettling, and my friend felt the same way. As a chef with 35 years of experience, I have never experienced anything like this before. The atmosphere was unwelcoming and unprofessional. If the restaurant doesn't want Black customers, they should put up a sign to make it clear so we don't come in. As a Black man, I felt uncomfortable in that establishment.

First of all, it's under new management. I ordered chilaquiles with chicken but received them with an unexpected extra ingredient: hard cooked plastic. I also ordered the steak and onion, which came as steak strips on a bed of onions for $11. The flautas de queso I ordered were disappointing, with just a small amount of crema and a light sprinkle of cheese. The side of nopales was tiny—only the size of my 5-year-old son's hand. The veggies in the salad looked old and had freezer burn. Overall, it was not worth the over $50 I spent.

"I have ordered delivery twice from this place. Both times the food came well packed and without any spills. I also wasn't missing any items. The first time i ordered a shrimp egg roll, wonton egg drop soup, three regular roll special, general tso's chicken combo dinner and orange chicken combo dinner. The shrimp egg roll is absolutely delicious. I would order that over and over again. The wonton egg drop soup is not that great. I wouldn't order it again. The wonton's themselves are really thick. For the rolls i ordered the crunchy spicy kani roll, the spicy crunch shrimp and the shrimp tempura roll. All three were absolutely delicious and filling. Both the general tso's and orange chicken had great flavor but by the time it arrived, it wasn't crispy anymore. I tried to recrisp it in the toaster oven and that didn't work. The second time i ordered fried dumplings, the grasshopper roll, kai roll, shrimp tempura roll, sweetheart roll and stir fried udon with beef. The fried dumplings tasted exactly like the wonton's i had in my soup during my first order. The dumpling skin was too thick and the beef looked and tasted the exact same way as the wontons. I wasn't crazy about them. The grasshopper roll i would order every single time, it was lobster salad, crab meat, shrimp, mango, avocado, asparagus, lettuce wrap, rice paper with avocado and caviar in yuzu wasabi sauce. The lettuce did get a little wilted during transit but it didnt impact the flavor at all. Very delish. The kai roll has spicy tuna, avocado and shrimp tempura inside a green soy paper. The outside has lobster salad and caviar. Another roll that i would order again. Very Very good. My husband ordered the sweet heart roll which was really pretty. Inside it has crab meat, cucumber, avocado, spicy tuna and crunchh wrapped in a pink rice paper topped with raw fresh tuna. I tried it and the tuna was very fresh. This roll is absolutely delicious but should only be ordered if your into raw fish. You can definitely taste it. Lastly, the beef udon. The sauce was very light BUT the flavor was there 100 percent. So delicous, so filling, so flavorful. I think we will certainly be ordering this specific dish again soon. It was that good. Overall we were so much happier with our second order from here. I think going forward we will continue to try different rolls and dishes from the stir fry section. I will absolutely continue to order from this place. i highly recommend it."
