My husband and I went there last night for dinner and I can only sing their praises. The food was amazing, the drinks were lovely and the wait staff were absolutely great. We will definitely be back and telling everyone we know to go and experience this place.

I like ordering something simple to see how good a restaurant really is. and this pollo a la brasa was exceptional. Perfectly cooked chicken, smooth mashed potatoes, and an incredible sauce. You can tell the chef really knows what he’s doing. I’d definitely come back and order it again. The Shisho cocktail was a great match, thanks to Héctor for the recommendation!

Fantastic restaurant. We went for taco Tuesday - $38 pp all you can eat was great value! The tacos were filled full, 6 flavours + 1 dessert taco (which was outstanding). I had gluten free tortilla which were very tasty. Staff helpful and super friendly. Happy hour was a nice surprise too. Highly recommend

We had such a great experience! The beef with cachapa was delicious — tender, juicy, and perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the cachapa. The pork was another highlight: smoky, charred just right, and very flavorful. The steak was cooked perfectly and the chimichurri added a great touch. The margarita was also excellent — refreshing and really well-balanced. On top of that, the service was very good. Thanks to the team for making our date feel special. Highly recommended!

Discovered this restaurant about two weeks ago and had to come back! This time I tried the Bondiola — absolutely incredible flavors, please never take it off the menu! Finished my dinner with the Merengón, simply perfect. Highly recommended!
