Yelp.com Review - by JuJu S.

4.0 of 5 stars. 4.5 StarsSpeedy service, great food, very reasonable prices, huge portions and fun atmosphere (opa!). The only thing that sucks is finding parking in the area, especially during game days.

Good food, bad service

The food here is authentic and very good. However, service is less than stellar. We asked our server to wrap up leftovers and instead he threw them away...then didn't offer to correct his mistake.
