Waited 45 minutes for some refried beams, white rice, and a couple of empenadas. Food came out at completely different times and the staff could care less. Hard pass.

La comida más asquerosa que me he comido sobre el planeta tierra, ha sido la comida del día de hoy en este restaurante, tan asqueroso y de mala calidad

This is one of the best places to get a patacon- and the vegan one is no joke, either. Everything is gluten free, which makes my partner very happy :)
