Food: Edible but uninspiring

The Spinach/Cheese Empanada, always made fresh and full, is reasonably good. The Alfajores have an agreeable balance of flavors and crumbly texture that is desirable. The Dulce de Leche Alfajor is decadent, melting in your mouth, but overall the culinary offerings lack the creative spark seen in other eateries. The menu tries to distinguish itself with unique items but falls short in variety, reminiscent of something you'd find at a Holiday Inn Express.

  • Great Value

    Great prices, very reasonable, happy hour specials, and excellent value mentioned.

  • Okay Taste

    Some found food decent or good; experiences varied with dish ordered.

  • Bad Variety

    Limited selection reminiscent of simpler Holiday Inn Express offerings.

Vibe: Tired, old world charm

The restaurant's outdated decor feels more old than charming. Confusing mix of lightings adds nothing to the ambiance. The overly loud music clashes with the old-world feel and creates an existence crisis for the place. Don't plan your date night here, the loud music might outshout your romantic whispers. The live music occasionally redeems the otherwise bland ambiance.

  • Great To Entertain

    Live music adds charm, creates a fun, engaging dining atmosphere.

  • Okay Drinks

    Well-priced alcohol menu with happy hour deals, but average food.

  • Bad Buzz

    Old and needs updating, not the hippest atmosphere and menu

Perks: Effortless with hassles

Though the staff is welcoming, differing speed of service leaves you wondering about your next meal. You'll have hard time finding a parking spot but worry not, your pets might get a better treatment with water bowls and pet-friendly areas. Kids are taken care of with a range of dishes. Reservations are not accepted, a significant inconvenience for those who like to plan ahead. The outdoor seating however, is spacious with pleasant ambiance.

  • Great For Groups

    Excellent for groups, spacious, accommodating, with attentive service and ambiance.

  • Okay Service

    Friendly and welcoming staff, service speed varies, overall pleasant.

  • Hard To Hear

    Cafe has overly loud music, making it hard to focus or converse.
