Founded by local residents and restaurateurs Phong Ho and Michael Jaenvega, the establishment offers a diverse menu that evolves with seasonal specials and Latin-inspired dishes.

Tradition You Can Taste
“I still remember my mother’s arroz con pollo simmering on the stove,” says co-founder Michael Jaenvega. “That warmth made people feel at home.” Our menu brings that same spirit to the table—offering bold, honest Latin American cuisine. Dishes like Caribbean Mahi and Florida Crab & Grouper Cakes are crafted with care, inspired by family, and rooted in cultural tradition.

We work closely with local vendors to bring fresh, quality ingredients to every plate. Seasonal specials keep things exciting, while guest favorites remain at the core.
