Absolutely amazing! I’m not someone who typically writes reviews but this place 100% deserved the 5 stars. Amazing service from Edwardo if you’re contemplating what you want to eat trust him!! He did not steer us wrong at any point from the drinks to the food.If you get the chance to try their paella do it. I’m not someone who likes octopus because of the texture but this was amazing it completely melted in your mouth. - Analise Wexel
