Description
Dining here often comes with a soundtrack of Latin music and an enthusiastic staff. If you visit during a birthday, the restaurant coordinates a brief, high-energy spectacle: they bring out cake, play a song on the screens, and rally the entire dining room to cheer along. The menu goes beyond standard fillings, offering the classic reina pepiada arepa alongside sweet corn and cheese cachapas paired with crisp chicharrones.
