Food was ready quickly, and was expertly prepared. It was picturesque in it's presentation, and absolutely delicious. The Beef Patacon is easily 2 meals on it's own, and the Salchipapas was addicting. And don't be fooled by the Sweet Latina Arepa / Arepa Dulce Latina's size, it is also very filling!
