    Loudest restaurant I have ever been in. Good for fun but not if it’s just a couple having a night out.

    Entree special for Valentine’s Day was supposed to be a high cut of beef and was really just pot roast for $38. Chicken empanadas tasted weird. Our bill was $148 for two people and we didn’t have alcohol nor a lot of food. Very disappointing.
