Overcharged. Ordered happy hour items from menu. Two $2 tacos and $5 margarita. It was all good but waiter charged me $20 without me realizing. Too sneaky for my liking

This place is the best kept secret of Wilmington DE. The margaritas are bomb and a must try. Happy hour wings and empanadas are very good. Please let me know if you feel the same. Our server was Emeli and so nice and explain the menu to folks who didnt know any better. A must try if you are I. Wilmington Delaware.

Went for dinner with several of my friends and was not impressed at all. The food was re-heated, the pork was dry and I mean dry and looked old. Did not even try to eat it. I asked for an empanada and was a bit happy to see that the outside layer looked fresh only to take a bite and the meat have a tangy taste to it. I am no cook but I’m sure it was rotted meat. I will not be back.

This place is awesome, theres a restaurant on the first floor by day and a lounge on the second floor at night. If you want a great Latin food experience, this is the place to be. The food selection is comprehensive and the service is top notch. The night life is popin and the bar upstairs is on point. I highly recommend this place.

I havent been to the restaurant but Ive been to the club upstairs. The security was great at checking everyone. The music was good and diverse. The only thing that I can say is that the club way way over crowded. It was hard to move around and drinks was spilled on people.

Its just amazing. I have no words. Definitely one of the best restaurants since Ive been to the Wilmington area. Merely the smell got me as I stepped into the place, and later when the food was served it was only even higher above my expectation. The salmon and mango was super, so soft and tasty, and of course everything else were just as spectacular. the size was really generous. My leftover is definitely enough for another meal. Vanessa and Emeily helped us and they were really sweet and nice and helpful :). Im sure I will definitely go visit this place more than multiple times later, and please please please dont miss it if you like great food and vibe.

Finally a good Dominican place that sells good food and the nightlife is just as amazing! For all you Dominicans/latinos out there who feel like you have to go to Philly to dance at a place with decent music, you dont have to do that anymore. Look no further. Ive been here 3 times and had an amazing time. Ive never witnessed any bad vibes or violence. Ive had the food and can recommend the toston burgers and trio sampler app. The music is always the latest Latin music. I highly recommend!

Shrimp tacos were mediocre and overpriced. Friends got the plantain nachos, which looked delicious, I just couldnt eat them as a vegetarian-but that plate was cleaned! I was in a large party and they charged over 20% gratuity on my split bill.

Good food , I got the merengue house burger and hubby got the canua with rice and beans. It was exactly what we expected. Only negative was how long the food took for us being the only people there other than that will go back.
