What a pleasant surprise! This is a small unassuming store front that is an absolute treasure. The menu is broad enough to accommodate any diner and really delicious! The hostess is the server and bus person. I had the oxtail entree and it was tender with a wonderful sauce, rice and beans. Skip the beans, put the rice in the sauce and love it! The calamari appetizer was tender and spicy. The guava dulce con Leche was very sweet. Portions were ample and the price was fair. I'll be back!!
