The food tastes good.
Very slow service.
Lack of ambiance.
Supposed broken credit card machine which is a scam because there's an ATM machine in its place for the 20-seating restaurant for patrons' usage.
Food is overpriced for what you get.

It gets packed, so calling ahead to see how busy they are may be a good idea.

The prices are a high for the amount of food you receive. When you order shrimp dishes you only get a few small shrimp and 2 slices of plantains with lots of cabbage and rice. Our other issue was that the group on was only good for sit down not take out. To use the bathroom we had to leave the building walk all the way around the corner up a dark little street and reenter through the back. This was unacceptable.

I want my money back. The server redeem groupon before I even ordered and they excluded all seafood items. It said nothing about that on the purchase. I really disappointed & will never return to this establishment. I walked out.

Very greasy. A couple items tasted microwaved. Extremely disappointing.
