"The service was straightforward, yet the attention to detail was exceptional. The waitstaff was patient and highly knowledgeable about the dishes. Although the restaurant has a Costa Rican theme, the menu offers a diverse selection beyond just Spanish cuisine, allowing for a variety of options. It seems they either have a well-staffed kitchen or an incredible level of organization, as we waited no more than 10-15 minutes for our food despite being part of a party of 20. The bartender was very skilled and generous with the portions; I ordered a mojito, and it was perfectly balanced – the lime, mint, and rum were integrated just right. The restrooms were clean, further showcasing the restaurant's excellent organization."

This is the second time I've ordered the Tres Leches Cake, and it was never delivered. They charged me for it, but they never take the time to check if everything I've ordered is actually in the bag. They've done this twice now!

If you call and try to order to go you have to pay upfront while you are placing the order otherwise you have to come in order and wait till they get the food ready. Food is okay but they got really pricey. Presentation really bad. Service: Take out Meal type: Lunch

They are rude to people who are doing their job and is you work for them if you want to eat it's coming out your pay. Like I don't even have to be there I came out of my own free time to help you at least you can do if feed the people working for you Food: 4 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 4 View menu

It's hard for me to judge the food, but it seemed pretty good. I usually judge the food based on sopa de mariscos, which I didn't order. I really liked the spacious dining room, ambiance, and great service. They don't play music too loud in the dining area, also a plus.

My reason for a star is based on what I ordered the most since it was the first time ordering chicken soup at that place where they told me 10-15 minutes which turned into 30, about the soup, it seems like they went to the grocery store around the corner to buy a box of Lipton soups. They added two eggs and a few cilantro leaves to charge $10.50 for a plate of Lipton soups that my wife couldn't even eat because she was allergic to eggs. Thanks for stealing from me!
