Description
To accompany the kitchen's traditional plates, the restaurant serves beer, wine, and sangria. Popular orders include seasoned snapper with crispy roasted potatoes and Cuban sandwiches with fries. While the flavorful spices and herbs generally win praise, some regular diners note inconsistencies in service and quality. Lunchtime takeout orders can also require a brief wait when pickup demand is high, though staff advise guests of the delay.
