We got the mushroom soup which was good but not wonderful. They didn’t have the empanadas, but the appetizer we got was very good. The dessert crepe with Nutella, strawberries and bananas was delicious.

The food and service was very good. However the restaurant had a murky appearance that was heightened by litter on the floor--straw wrappers and similar items.
