“The restaurant is small but they have a large menu, the food is great and their hamburger with plantain buns is great along with fried sweet potatoes waffles. Their still chicken breast stuffed sweet plantains is excellent, served with a side of arroz mamposteao and salud is very nice. Their sangria might be serviced in a small glass but taste great!. Last their fried cheese cake roll with a scoop of vanilla icecream is excellent.
