May 27, 2026"Really enjoyed their special pineapple dish with crab meat, shrimp, and other delightful items. This is a very small newly decorated hole in the wall bar with very little seating, plenty of drinks, and a solid bartender. Very pleased with our experience here."

The servers were fun and aimed to please. The drinks were tasty and the food was good! We ordered the cirviche and the smoked pork. The price was a little higher than we expected but the experience was worth it."
