I had the carne guisada with white rice and kidney beans. My friend had the grilled chicken sandwich panini style with fries. Everything was delicious. My friend said the fries tasted home made. The meal I had tasted like my aunts cooking! The service was prompt, our server was friendly, I will definitely be coming back!
