2 /5 Jo Jo: We came here with high expectations, but the experience was disappointing. The hostess was curt, and the staff appeared disorganized. Despite having a reservation and seeing empty tables, we were asked to wait while the hostess chatted with the bartender.
The cocktails were unbalanced and overly sweet, which was surprising given the $16 price point. The shareable meat platter looks beautiful however, was underwhelming—the pork was fatty, the steak lacked tenderness, and the beans and rice sides were bland. The churro dessert was the one highlight, with good flavor and presentation.
Service was average; our server seemed unfamiliar with the menu. The women’s restroom was clean, but the strong chemical odor was overwhelming and lingered throughout dinner. Additionally, a group of men drinking whiskey from a bottle in the middle of the restaurant and entering the employee-only area created an uncomfortable atmosphere.
Overall, the food, service, and environment did not meet expectations. With so many better options nearby, we won’t be returning.
