The food in the spot is amazing. The service is polite and nice. The ambient is pleasant and clean A+ plus plus in my book.
Good place...I would come back. I got some shrimp and octopus salad in a vinaigrette to stay. Very fresh... very good, served in a bowl on top of some chopped lettuce with a slice of lime. Some of the workers here don't really speak any English... but there was someone here who was able to help me even though my Spanish kind of sucks. A delivery of food from one of the restaurant's vendors was coming in while I was standing at the counter to order, and I had to keep moving out of the guy's way as he went in and out of the store with the hand truck. A bit of a pain, but I forgive them since they've got a fully functional and clean All-Gender Bathroom. The stuff here ain't cheap, but it's quality.

Solid food! And staff were nice. You come in and there's an abundance of food. You see pasta, chicken, rice options and more. We decided to get the carne guisada which is like beef gravy and a rice/herring dish on the side. This has a savory and smokey flavor. Kind of fishy but it was nice to have the flavors from the rice seasoning (Sazón perhaps) as well. Pretty clean place. It seems they are open 24/7. Very generous portions.
