About this business
The interior of this trendy tapas place exudes the golden glow of a South American sunset. The food inspires a similar warm glow. Beneath the impressive brass chandelier, you will find empanadas, plates of different kinds of olives with complementary flavors, and ceviche among the many selections that change daily. There's also a Sunday brunch menu to satiate your morning hunger pangs after a long Saturday night. The crowd is youngish but chill and the atmosphere is unhurried. All the better to linger over a few more tiny pl... read more

Perfect place – I suppose everyone is looking for something different. But for me, this place is perfect. It is nice and small with great ambience. The service is provided by a consistent crew of nice folks. The food is excellent. I have been there several times and don't have much on the negative side to say. Oh, and don't forget to try the Pisco or a Mohito - they're great.
Dreaming of Destino – I haven't been able to get this restaurant out of my mind since my recent date there. It is one of the most unique restaurants in the city and I'm a native. The food was so warm-comforting-decadent. The ambiance, though not quiet, fits perfectly into the room which reminds me of my cuban grandparents house, but in a good way. The details, the warm chatter of people loving being there, it's all wrapped up in this small yet a gem of a restaurant. My date and I stayed way longer than we should have despite... read more
Everything tasted the same – The service was very spotty. One of the entrees for our party came 10 minutes after everybody else was served. All of the food tasted somewhat acidic and not very flavorful. Not a good value. We won't go back.
overall the food was pretty good but not impressive enough to make up for pretty poor service. the room is cool and drinks were good but we waited forever to have our drink order taken and food actually came out pratically all at once and before the drinks had even arrived. the sea bass ceviche was delicious as were the two desserts (tres leches and apple turnovers we tried. The other dishes were good not great.
It's pretty decent, but not earth-shattering – Went in on a Thursday night (2 of us). Were seated immediately. I like the room - it's kind of fun with the religious artifacts on the walls. Service was attentive and pleasant. I thought the size of tapas was about right ... we ordered 5 or 6 for 2 of us and it was way more food than necessary. My other half said the cerviche was delicious, though most of the other tapas were just okay - they didn't blow me away. My favorite was the creamed/shredded chicken tapa. Would I go aga... read more

Possibly the best ceviche I've ever eaten – Both the seabass and ahi tuna ceviches are divine! Also great is the shredded chicken entree, pork loins, lamb skewers, empanadas, and yuca chips. The salmon entree was a bit boring.
Mi destino! – Went here for a birthday dinner. Had a fabulous time with a large group. Noisy and fun on a weekend night. Food was most excellent. Even my South American boyfriend approved the flavor and authenticity. Yummy drinks as well. Waitress was aloof and rude but didn't let it ruin our time. 7/3/2004.
where's the shrimp? – We showed up at 7:30 with no reservation and was seated immediately. It's a nice space, though not entirely keen on the religious artifacts on the walls. Try the Motini (mojito and martini combo). Definitely have the Tuna Ceviche!! Yummy! Plantain Chips, nice and crispy. We ordered 5 small plates; 4 showed up...where o' where did the shrimp go? The citrus sponge cake soaked in 3 different milk was surprisingly refreshing and a good way to end the evening.
