Best Global Restaurants in South Pasadena

Staff is lovely and fun vibe- food is fabulous- they belong on LA's 100 best restaurants for 2024!

The food, service was amazing. We were a group of 5 and everyone loved what they got. My only suggestion would be to replace the metal chairs for the table with ones that sit straight up vs. a lounge type chair where they lean back away from the table. It makes it difficult to comfortably eat.

We made reservations and were sat immediately. The view is amazing! Our server was Jenn; very nice friendly, knowledgeable and very welcoming. The food is labeled “shareable plates “ but be aware they are small -med size portions don’t expect a big plate. The food quality is good. As an appetizer: We had the queso and chorizo dip. It’s different it’s light and it is served with plantain chips and pita bread . As a meal we shared : we had the skirt steak and it was soft tender well marinated. We also had the chorizo skewers and man were they good. Lastly we had the yuca fries very unique and delicious . We drank the tropical cure which was amazing. Also had glosa the good spirit it was good but nothing special. Lastly we had pisco sour and the pisco painkiller both are to die for. If I had to pick one out of the 2 I’d prioritize the pisco painkiller.

Food was delicious. Really appreciated everyone there working on a Christmas Eve.

The food was great, but the service was poor. It looked like they might have been short-handed and we might have understood if they had shared an explanation. We sat outside and at first received immediate attention from our server when ordering drinks, but then she disappeared for at least 30 minutes. We had to ask 3 times to be able to place our food orders. However, once our orders were placed we received them quickly. We ordered a variety of brunch and lunch items and all 5 members of our party were happy with their choices. I had the Ube Stuffed French Toast and it was a perfect combination of ube cream, brioche french toast and fruit with a sprinkle of pistachios for the perfect amount of crunch. I also had a delicious spicy cucumber cocktail. I asked our server for a recommendation and it was the perfect blend of cucumber and tequila. If the service hadn't been off, I would have given this a 5-star review.
