Description
The kitchen merges Spanish and Chinese culinary styles into Asian-criollo eats, serving up plates of yellow rice with fried pork, sesame-glazed chicken, and beef grilled with onions. Diners can expect generous portions, though the attentive staff is known to step in and help guests navigate the menu to avoid overordering sides. The dining room offers a clean, spacious setting with a warm, inviting energy.
