I've have never eaten at a place with warmer more accomodating staff. The food was exceptional (ordered the grilled octopus, sardines, ribs & squid). It's loud & full but I would eat at a table with complete strangers at this place. Highly recommend!!

Pour la 1re fois de ma vie je suis dans une position précaire j'ai dit piler sur mon orgueil & demander à une connaissance 5 $ pour acheter de la nourriture la personne a refusé. Un employé du restaurant qui marchait sur le trottoir as entendu la conversation. Il m'a offert de me donner son repas un repas pour 2 personnes. La meilleure paella que j'ai mangé les meilleurs petites patates. Un geste extraordinaire qui m'a beaucoup touchée je vous invite donc aller manger dans ce restaurant. Merci encore du fond du coeur la nourriture était excellente j'en ai eu pendant 2 jours.

The owner personally made sure we had a place to park since parking was so difficult to find. We were coming from out of town, a 9 hour ride & having this amazing place to eat & good food was a real treat. Thank you so much.
