The restaurant is very nice on the inside & our server Diego was incredibly helpful & kind. He was the only good thing about this experience. The taco portions were ridiculously small (however small you think, make it smaller), all the food tasted frozen & was not fresh. Thank you so much Diego for the exceptional service & being so kind despite the awful food. If you are reading this, turn around before it's too late.

Food is excellent, BUT you only get a little food for a very expensive price. We also felt extremely rushed, as they gave us all our food (appetizer & entrees) at once, & gave us our drinks (which we ordered at the same time) after our food arrived. Waiter also began taking our plates away before we were finished, & rushed to give us our bill once we finished our food (we still had most of our drinks to finish). It's a nice atmosphere for the Old Port, but you have the trade off of an expensive meal for little food, & being rushed out of there.

I wouldn't recommend this place. My wife & I waited for almost 30min to get an order of tacos & tostadas. I don't know if they went to fetch Chicken, took so so long. Also, it's very expensive for the qty they serve.

Very underwhelmed. Food was very mediocre, very dry, lacked flavour.
Servers were not rude, but they really didn't care much about us. Never checked on us.

Will not be returning

We had a great experience, & mostly thanks to our waiter, Diego. He was attentive, warm, & had perfect timing, making us feel taken care of without ever hovering. His food suggestions were spot-on. The excellent service made an already delicious dinner even better.
