We proffer an escape through a festive, gastronomic journey that reinterprets Puerto Rican cuisine through a bold new narrative of fortitude, tenacity, and, of course, taste.
More than a Spanish restaurant with delicious food, a wide variety of wines and drinks, our little corner is a very cozy and homely meeting point.

I wait you at home! - Luz Iris, chef and owner
