    We were so excited for the Waka pop up as we love Puma and Baobob. Service was great, drinks were great, food was flavorful but not hot.

    The food was excellent, the only caveat was the drinks were short pours and pricey.

    The food was really good, we had the ceviche and provoleta (more chimicurri pls) as appetizers. Both were delicious. The cocktails were refreshing and airy. We tried the “diablada” and the “pumarita” which were both tasty! The choripan with pickled cabbage was delectable and the chivito was also very good! Definitely interested in going back again and would recommend!

    Friendly fun staff. Outstanding food done in the Argentinian style. Great Detroit vibe. Loved the dj. Not a place for quiet conversation but we really enjoyed the music. That trout and those peppers! Amazing.

    10 out of 10. From the welcoming urban aesthetic to the most inviting wait staff to the butterflied trout. Impressed I am!

    I came in with an open mind to celebrate by 24 year old twin’s birthday. I knew of the limited menu items but we thought we will give it a try. Unfortunately 75% of the menu items is deep fried. The only grilled items was the trout. Health wise/calories there is no escape from 1000+ calories. Bottoms line not my kind of food but of course the taste is always good when fried. Price is on the very high side as well. The fried chicken entree was $30 for two pieces and no condiments. You can get the point on price.
