pollo guisado was very dry & lack flavor. Piece of advice, adding vegetable pieces & sauce would do wonders. Service was really good. Wouldn't go back. I give it 3 stars because of service.

Très bon restaurant, la nourriture est excellente, belle ambiance. Seule petite chose les chaises & bancs pas très confortable, petites erreurs dans la commande mais sans plus. Je vais y retourner c'est certain. J'aimerais bien en avoir un sur la rive-sud. Bonne continuité à ce resto, bon succès à toute l'équipe & bonne dégustation à tous les clients.

C'était délicieux! Là je comprends pourquoi les plantains sont autant mentionnés dans les commentaires. Je les avais presque tous mangé avant de me souvenir de prendre une photo, oups!
