    Very full. So the service is very slow and it was after 2 pm. Bathroom were not cleaned properly, water around the floor. The tables in the main salon were not clean and garbage can overloaded...That happens when the managers stayed in their office and doesn't walk around their store.

    Hoy fui a comer y mi experiencia fue horrible, muy mala. Pues estaba sentada comiendo cuando de repente una empleada alta empezó a fajarse con una compañera que es media chinita. Amenazandola de golpes y cosas horribles. La verdad que temo por la compañera afectada. En ningún momento vi que salió un gerente o supervisor para controlar la situación. Demasiada falta de profesionalismo y respeto entre misma compañeras. La falta de respeto y agresividad no solamente a su compañera sino con los clientes que estaban comiendo ahí hoy. Cómo yo.

    Estive em Miami semana passada e tive a oportunidade de almoçar neste local. Nós fomos muito bem atendidos, ficou pronto em tempo bom, comida que pedimos estava uma delícia o tempero. Ponto a melhorar: ambiente não estava muito limpinho.

    I gave this place one star, not because of the food, but because of the manager's poor customer service skills. The chicken and black beans and rice were good. Unfortunately, we found a piece of hair in our soda cup. What made it so awful was that it was not discovered until we tried to get a refill. This is not acceptable. I brought this to the cashier's attention who said he'd let the manager know. At no time while we dined did the manager approach us. I asked to speak with the manager when we were leaving. His nonchalant attitude and response that he wasn't told about the incident annoyed me.
