A great place to grab lunch! Me and my wife pretty much just walked in, we said we would come here eventually and this seemed to be the right time. The staff were all amazing and the food was fantastic. We had the Ceviche and split the Paella, along with a mixed drink and some fruit juice it felt like a real Carribean meal. The weather was also fairly warm and the other people eating there seemed to be having a great time too, which added to us enjoying it. The prices weren't terrible either and for what we got we were pretty satisfied. Highly recommend.

Very disappointing dining experience overall. The food was far below expectations. The menu highlights their “famous” sangria, but it turned out to be quite ordinary and nothing special. The ceviche had a strong fishy taste that made it difficult to eat. The voodoo pasta was extremely oily and heavy — it might appeal to some people, but it is definitely not worth the price. The service was also lacking. No one came to refill water or check in on our experience, and we did not feel the level of respect or attentiveness that should come with a restaurant at this price point. Despite this, I still left a decent tip, but overall, I would not recommend this place.

Just happened upon this fun restaurant as I was walking the Haight Ashberry area. I was seated at the bar. They have a good selection of mixed drinks beer and wine. The bartender server was very friendly and had recommendations of places to visit. The food was amazing. I had the pepper and onion sandwich. It was very good. I recommend this as a great stop for food, people, and atmosphere.

Located on Haight Street, across the street from Kezar arena. This is a fun Caribbean restaurant is a great place to enjoy delicious food and sangria! I highly recommend their The paella mixta, which is Spanish rice with saffron, mussels, clams, chunks of fish and shrimp. We loved their cajun shrimp, which was more like a spicy, coconut-tomato bisque soup with shrimp. Served with slices of bread. Their breaded calamari was a great appetizer.
