Had a pleasant breakfast experience. Love the restaurant's look, ambiance, and location. The meal portion and presentation were beautifully done. I enjoyed my breakfast meal.
Love to see a good place on this corner, never really wanted to come in since all the other businesses prior here were not good but we decided to give it a try. Parking could be a little challenging, you may find parking behind the building or on the main street. We ordered Hawaiian hot dog, arepa mixta and Oblea. Hot dog was delicious, the actual arepa was super bland BUT what was on it was really good, the chicharron was crunchy and full of flavor. Oblea was so good, cant wait to go back for cholados and more hot dogs, not too sure about the arepas for the future. We wish them Exitos!! Y coloquenle saborcito a las arepas, solo porque son de maiz blanco no tienen que saber a nada.
Since this place opened few months back, I see it all the time during my commute. Finally got a chance to walk in on Saturday morning. Very pretty restaurant, with lots of colors and decorations inside. I was surprised to see their gigantic menu that has so many different kinds of items including burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, arepas, papas, ensaladas, patacons, antojos, bakery, desserts and juices. I order couple of beef empanadas and flan to go. The lady packed up my items right away, super quick service. Beef empanadas were filled with beef and potatoes, with delicious green and spicy mayo sauce on the side. I was blown away by the flan. Such creamy taste yet it was dense. Like other flans it wasn’t over baked, so it still had light yellow color instead of dark brown on top. My first visit was great. I am going to stop by again to try the other items in the menu.
