Great Nicaraguan food. Service is quick & and polite, and they offer a variety of freshly prepared entrees, side dishes, and desserts. It is a casual place, but clean and professionally managed. I always ordered the carne asada w/gallo pinto & maduros (la completa); it's always on point. The natacatamales are delicious as well.

I ordered some of the buffet items from here. The cole slaw was good. The shimp I really liked. The meat loaf I also really liked. Still eating that and the rice. Sweet plantains are usually a good choice for me. The seating was closed. Unfortunately even if it was open, there isn't alot of room for people to sit. They should consider getting a larger space to serve food now that COVID19 restrictions are lifted in Florida. Anyway I do recommend
