Excellent Restaurant. Portions were large, food cooked and seasoned perfectly, and Mojiotos were top notch. Staff were friendly and attentive as well. All around good experience and would definitely return again when in the area.

La primera vez que fuimos, fue una experiencia excelente, buena comida, buen café, buen ambiente. Nos quedaba a 2 cuadras del hotel, los precios accesibles y lo mejor, la buena sazón latina. Altamente recomendado cuando visiten Chicago
