Stopped in last week for the first time to grab lunch. Sergio at the bar is obviously proud of the restaurant and the food. I quickly gave up on what I came in for and was blown away by his recommendation! The flavors are fresh and the beef was well seasoned and fall apart tender. Prices were very reasonable, unless you forget to feed the meter out front. Ahem.
Will be back soon, with quarters.

Nothing but positive things to say! I was skeptical as I am not a fan of Mexican food in America. However, this place is Mexican and Spanish cuisine. The vibes are nice, and they have limited outdoor sitting. I got a mango daiquiri with whipped cream, which was good. For appetizers, we got the Gambas and Tortilla chips with Guac. The Gambas was not what i thought it was, and the sauce it came in was a little bit too salty for my taste buds. I lived in Cameroon and what we call Gambas are huge prawns, so i was taken aback when i saw regular shrimp. Talk about a difference of what my expectations were and my reality 😅. No fault of the restaurant! For dinner, I ordered the Paella Valenciana, which was okay, and my friend got the salmon with rice, veggies, and peppercorn sauce (needs to be bottled up and sold separately). Overall, it was a good time on a Saturday evening. I enjoyed myself, and surprisingly, the food was better than I expected. But the service was what i was impressed most by was wonderful!

My wife and I went here for dinner tonight. If you're thinking about eating here just step inside and sniff. You'll be immediately greeted with the smell of steak, shrimp, and lime..... it's divine. My only complaint is that or steak and ground beef entries were slightly overcooked, but the flavors were amazing. The sides were fresh, and the chips and house made salsa were tasty. The staff, though busy, were friendly and helpful. The drinks were well made and my double came with the extra shot on the side (a nice touch). If you're in Frederick and craving Mexican or Spanish food give thus place a shot!

The food was excellent. The waiter was excellent. They have a great selection of both Spanish and Mexican cuisine. I had a trio of scallops, shrimp and filled mignon tenderloins with vegetables and rice. The complimentary chips and salsa was also excellent. I highly recommend.

Surprisingly excellent resturant. Spanish/Latin American fusion. Portions were generous and seasoning was excellent. Beautiful presentations, nice decor; But no "stuffy" atmosphere. My family and I were impressed. We have all traveled extensively in Latin America and to Spain. This was excellent food in a relaxed environment conducive to conversation.
