What diners say — our read

The crowd and the inspector reached the same conclusion. Where front-of-house comes up, the rating that follows averages 5.0, so it reads as a strength.

28 of 28 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 0 are two or lower. No one in this corpus comments on how much food arrives at all.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (100/100) and no violations cited. The visit behind that grade was February 26, 2026. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 100% of the restaurants we score. No violations were recorded at that visit, which is the cleanest result available.

Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

    The food it’s good, and the experience of making guacamole in front of you it’s awesome! JC, the manager was attentive and helpful making sure we had everything we needed. The server, Yskel, was very enthusiastic and energetic and made good recommendations to accompany our order. My favorite was The Frozen Piña with rum and coconut. See picture… Price is reasonable and environment is festive with live music. Recommended!
