Description
The menu stretches from morning to night with plentiful portions. Beyond the staples, the kitchen turns out grilled chicken with onions, sautéed red snapper, and garlic shrimp. For vegetarians, note that the vegetable soup contains meat. Diners also point out that the beef empanadas lean potato-heavy and the lunch-service chicharron is sliced thin. House red hot sauce is on hand for extra heat. The dining room often plays loud music, and the space undergoes frequent updates, sometimes sporting large flags during matches.
