Nice Place for Dinner

by kellynotabundy

My bf took me here and I actually loved the food! It was delicious! The lady that took our order was very nice and attentive. She came to check on us several times. I liked this place so much that we wound up going there for my bday dinner with my siblings & bf. They enjoyed the food. Our party consisted of 14 people so I thought the service would slow down, but nope... they were just as good... and they even sang did their own version of the happy bday song... hitting a pan for sound and all the helpers came out... lol. It sounds silly, but it was actually sweet & funny. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some good Nica food! =)

  • Pros: good service, delicious food
  • Cons: parking

Great!!! Nica food

by elisa79

By far the best Nicaraguan food that I've had at a restaurant to date. The place is really spacious. If you go on a weekend, order Baho. It's the best. You actually get the different types of platanos. The portions are big, so sharing doesn't hurt. Their frescos are great and varied. I had mara?on, which I hadn't had outside of Nicaragua. The service was good, which is usually not the case at other Nica places. I went with my family during a big fight night and we were still not neglected by the wait staff when the crowd just started ordering beer. The parking is not so bad in spite of a small parking lot. I went on a weekend and had no problem but even if you have to park across the street, it's totally worth it.

Pro: Great variety on menu. Great food. Good service. Great Frescos (juices).

Con: None so far.

Nica Food!

by iridescence

From outside it looks like a little whole in the wallish, but once inside, it looks very tropical and colorful. The food is delicous! The service is always great, very nice and polite. The prices are okay, they defenetly need to move to a bigger place!

  • Pros: The food is great.
  • Cons: The location is very small.

GREAT FOOD at a GREAT PRICE

by jazchava

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

From the outside this place doesn't look like much but once you go in you'll be pleasantly surprised. If what you are looking for is GREAT FOOD and an ethnic feel this is the place. I visit this place often and the service is always good. They are very welcoming and accomodating. I have tried serveral dishes and none has let me down so far. I recommend the Cacao, which is like a Nicaraguan chocolate drink almost and the Mango chicken.

  • Pros: the fried platanos, good service
  • Cons: close kinda of early

It's Nicaraguan food!

by jt13815

The food is awesome! The restaurant is full of Nicaraguan decorations. I highly reccomend you get the the more tropical drinks, don't be a afraid to try different foods, they even serve cow tongue, a typical dish. I would have to say the waitress wasn't very attentive.

  • Pros: Inexpensive, Food, Ambience
  • Cons: Service, Parking
