First time I stopped by here for a quick drink and dessert. I’m sorry but $5.50 for this tiny slice of flan???? Absolutely ridiculous! Tastes nothing like flan.
First time in the restaurant, my family was happy and enjoyed the food, the olla de poseidon was so delicious, it was enough for two people , fried calamari was good as well and we were happy that we can enjoy a michelada , perfect with the seafood! VALENTINA DID A GREAT JOB as our server, she was so nice and helpful, I always appreciate the places having clean restrooms! Definitely ???? recommend them and we’ll comeback soon
Omg, what an amazing experience. Food is out of this world, so delicious. Place so welcoming and clean. The best part was the service. Laura, la Linda y cariñosa Laura nos dio el mejor servicio. Great, outstanding customer service from Laura. Gracias Laura!!!!
I've been dinned in a few times and tried a few dishes, of course I have had the popular Poseidon soup! Two thumbs up!! It's delicious. You can't regret ordering it, it comes with so much seafood goodness in it, it's good for your soul!
Their try with ceviche stile shrimp "aguachiles" is a good try but in my opinion, they need to perfect the marinate time for the shrimp to absorb the lemon acidity to cure the shrimp, let it become firm and opaque while absorbing flavor.
The flavor of the sauce is there but the consistency of the shrimp on two occasions was either "overcooked" or served looking and smelling raw as if it was not allowed to marinate enough time.
Their shrimp cocktail served in the green sauce could have been amazing if only the density of the avocado and cilantro wasn't too strong, when I order a shrimp cocktail I expect for shrimp to be the main character, the sauce should only enhance the shrimp flavor but in this case the avocado was so heavy that I couldn't taste the shrimp. It was like a mix of guacamole and cooked shrimp. Definitely not what I imagined by the description.
Service is great for a Latin restaurant, I'm happy to experience a higher level of service at this new restaurant, it seems that they have acquired the team service concept from high end restaurants in the area and it's working! Well done!!
I definitely recommend the try.
I really enjoy my experience at this restaurant. Warm welcome and very friendly staff specially our waitress Valentina. The food was amazing and yes I recommend this place. Please open one in MD ????
carne was awesome thought I couldn’t finish it. But was so good I had to finish everything.
Home cooked meal and fried fish, hands down best fried fish in the DMV. The service was beyond great, very attentive and quick- they chief even came out and checked up on us. So glad we decided to despite the previous comments. THE FOOODDDDDD IS PHENOMENAL, like seriously!
The food is very fresh and delish!! I drove an hour just to try this place out and it was worth the drive the food surpassed my expectations it was definitely worth the drive. The food was a 10/10! Definitely will come back. and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely recommend!
