“ We had an incredible dining experience! The food was super delicious and authentic. We ordered pupusas, tamales, and plantains with refried beans and crema, and every dish was bursting with flavor. The pupusas were perfectly cooked, and the tamales had that authentic homemade taste. The plantains, paired with the refried beans and crema, made for a delightful sweet and savory combo. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a true taste of Latin American cuisine. Well definitely be back! Sorry didnt take picture of the food but it was on point! ”
“ This is by far one of the most UNDERRATED places in Tampa or surrounding areas. From the outside it doesnt look appetizing tbh. The food was absolutely amazing not a thing to complain about. Even the service, environment, and cleanliness was BOMB. Even a dance floor to have a good time on. I will be back. This place can have my wallet forever ”
