Good quality and low price. It's really great! The service was excellent and meticulous. My favorite is menu, which has a story and a history. There are no restrictions on dress, suitable for couples, suitable for families with children, and even parties are absolutely no problem. Make an appointment. We made an appointment at 9:00 p.m., which was really nice, because other restaurants usually shut down for the first 30 minutes after work, but they didn't. The meal was quick and we finished at about 10 o 'clock. A very nice dinner. The beef stew is amazing! I ate it all with the rice and bananas I was given. There was nothing left. Dessert is a little sweet for me. But it's still great，It was perfect. From the time of entry to the time of departure, the whole person was in a very happy mood. It's a restaurant that will come back.

Great food, staff, and atmosphere. Loved the decor in the restaurant. The restaurant was pretty busy for lunch on a Thursday so make sure to make a reservation. The paella is mixed table side and was my favorite dish. The shrimp tapa and sangria were also good.

Came here for a birthday celebration and I truly enjoyed my time. Our waiter Wesley, was amazing, had a very pleasant and welcoming demeanor, and very knowledgeable about the choices on the menu. I had their famous house salad (with the turkey meat option), a few orders of the Devil Crab Croquettes for the table, their Chicken and Yellow rice entree, and a glass of their Don Casimiro Red Blend wine. I will say, depending on the dish, the food can be a little bland. Their house hot sauce can help add more flavor, for those that prefer a little more spice.

I followed the suggestions in my guidebook. I had  Cuban Black Bean Soup and  the restaurant's grandfather's 1905 salad. I added a tasty nonalcoholic beer. All were delicious. The interior design of the restaurant reminded me of a place in Guatemala.

What's not to like. They've been in business for 119 years and for a good reason.  This place is absolutely beautiful, and the food is top tier. The waitstaff is very attentive, making sure you have everything you want or need. I highly recommend that if you get  anywhere close to them, it's a moral imperative to stop in. Enjoy the atmosphere and food, we certainly do
