★★★★★ 5.0 Rebecca Brandis · Jan 2026

I got the pollo tropical which is chicken cheese and pineapple. Served with rice. Very good and portion was appropriate. We also got the cerro fries which had steak and toppings. Also good. Service was good and the theming is really cool!

Me and my party of four went to this restaurant for dinner at around 7pm, and we did not enjoy the experience. The service was very slow, taking a good while to bring the food. When we did get the food, it was not great. The portion sizes were a little smaller than expected, which isn't too big of an issue, but the vegetarian fajitas were way overcooked and kind of gross. Two of us ordered fries but they never arrived, though the charge was taken off of my bill, which was nice. Our server was nice. The atmosphere was nice, though I don't like the windows that connect two tables through a wall, which led to another group glaring at us. There is also an incline when you come in that, if you're not expecting it, will trip you.

Me and my boyfriend ate here tonight with two other friends. Service was very slow and our waitress only checked on us maybe once or twice. My boyfriend ordered the veggie fajitas and our friends ordered cheese quesadillas and chicken tacos along with two sides of fries. When our food was dropped off we immediately noticed the poor portion size. Not to mention my boyfriend never got the wraps for his fajitas or the beans and rice that come with it. The vegetables were also overcooked and very soggy. Our friends never got either of their fries. So we wait 45 minutes for our food when the restaurant was not busy and never received all of it. The waitress never came back for us to tell her that we were missing items. For the price it’s just not worth it, the food is almost less than mediocre.

15 minutes at least before anyone acknowledged us in an almost empty, seemingly fully staffed restaurant. Nobody hostess stand yet a sign asking to wait to be seated. We should have at that time. Food came out quickly but was incorrect and took us searching out server to explain the issue. Not helpful at all and we finally asked for the bill. They offered to remake but at that time, at least an hour into it, we were ready to go. Paid the entire bill even though we did not get what we ordered. Did not care for what food we did received. Won't be going back. Not a smile to be had by the staff the entire time beginning to end. Do not recommend.
