“ I love this place. If you haven’t been here, come here ! At this point I’m a regular. Great food, great choices. Rare that you find a Nicaraguan restaurant, and there’s only two within an 80 mile radius. But this place is awesome. I’ve brought my co workers and they also enjoyed it. If you haven’t tried nicaraguan, come here and try some carne asada “fritangas.” Their nacatamales are great (tamales with more included). I love their carne desmenuzada which is shredded beef with vegetables. ”
“ Excellent food! So glad to have found this hole in the wall! Food is fresh, tasty and almost feels homemade. One of the best mondongo soups I’ve ever had. Tamales are out of this world! Full of flavour and so tasty! Worth a trip here. This will be a new staple for me whenever I’m in the area. ”
“ The food was absolutely delicious! I experienced this place with someone from Nicaragua and he confirmed it tastes as good as home. I was blown away by the sweet plantains, chicken and the cacao drink. And the fried cheese...I can't even begin to describe how amazing it is. I will definitely be back! ”
“ This is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Small businessed are the best!!! I love the variety in the menu. There's more than 15 major dishes to choose from. The plantains are perfect and the chicken and beef tastes like it was barbecued in the back! You know the food is going to be good if you see a woman ABUELITA in the back cooking the food. The owner was very helpful and even checked on us to make sure we enjoyed our food. We will definitely be back again!!! ”
“ This is an honest review. I found this place online and decided to give it a try. First time i went i didnt have a great experience i called in my order and when i got home realized i received a bunch of fatty pieces instead of the meat i ordered i called them and they offered me a credit to make it right. Today i went in for that credit i wanted to give this place a second chance and the food was not only amazing but the service and attention to detail they made sure i was happy with my order and were super nice about it. Ive never been treated that kind after a conplaint lol i truly reccomend this restaurant.! ”
“ I was just in Nicaragua 4 months ago so this place made me feel like I'm on vacation again with the same authentic food found in Nicaragua! Delicious and the portions are very adequate. Unfortunately they do not have a alcohol license so no Tona beers But come hungry and try the Fritanga! Pro tip, ask if they have fresh sweet bread "pico" like kiss. It's a delicious snack or desert under 2! ”
“ Amazing food! Friendly staff. Great atmosphere & clean! ”
“ My favorite restaurant. I love it all, not one plate I dislike, and the cacao drink is so delicious. Please do yourself a favor and visit this amazing authentic restaurant. Clean and fresh, wonderful atmosphere. Would be nice if they played Central American music in the background. ”
