Service was excellent. Team was friendly and efficient. The food was sooooo good! We had the lechon (pork) and it was better than my mom’s - don’t tell her! We were all happy with our dishes. The desserts we tried - flan and tres leches did not disappoint. My only complaint- no restrooms. We had to find the public one in the shopping center.
