The pork chop I ordered had a very good flavor, but it was slightly overcooked for my taste. I believe it would have been perfect if it had been cooked between 145° and 150°. Apart from that minor issue, we had a wonderful time. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was wonderful . We thoroughly enjoyed most our meal and will definitely be returning.

It wasn’t even that good and was soggy. Probably won’t be going back because the prices were so high for such small amounts it’s not worth it. Shrimp ceviche was also ok. Wasn’t very flavorful.

The empanadas had no real flavor or soul… The beans tasted as if they were straight out of a can, with no seasoning. The rice was off putting. No flavor other than butter & corn. Tacos were not bad, Decent. Dessert was delicious tho. The server was awesome.

The place favors being selective about its drink array; to its credit, the result is a very nice set of quality selections including non-alcoholic selections. EXCELLENT food end to end, a clear step up from many of the Mexican places around Anchorage.
