So good, I came here twice in the same day to get the same thing. Picadito - french fries covered in sausage, steak, and melted cheese. Fries were hot and crispy, dips were ketchup and green salsa. Lovely people selling amazing food. Atmosphere is very clean and collaborative. Come show your support!

My sister found this place by chance and I'm so glad she did. We only had the Beef Empanadas and the Cafe con Leche. But it was amazing, they didn't use the picadillo like I'm use to, BUT OMG, the flavor was great and the beef was soooo tender, so tasty, the cafe con leche was good too. The vibe was great also the staff was really proud of their selection of food and very friendly. Can't wait to go back and have an actual meal.

I love these kinds of dining experiences. Outdoor seating under umbrellas next to a bustling city Blvd with a view of airplanes departing and landing. Great location to meet friends or date night. Strongly recommend for a first date, good way to see who you're out with . Food is always good, drinks are a non alcoholic adventure with the agua frescas, try them all ! Most importantly: dog friendly.

Don't let the off-the-beaten-path look fool you. This is great food that you won't find many places in Pensacola. Big fan of the empanadas and ceviche. But definitely also try a smoothie.

The staff was very nice and jumped right in to explain the diverse menu to this first time guest. The ceviche was wonderful and the green sauce that came with it was even better. If the food truck vibe and being a little exposed to the weather don't bother you then it's definitely worth checking out.

Amazing Latin food, family place. Can customize items on the menu. My kids were really happy. I recommend fish and shrimp ceviche and my kids like the milk shakes.

The food we had was very good. Street tacos, Mexican corn and hibiscus tea. The street tacos were very flavorful with really good corn tortillas. The Mexican corn was ok. It was not grilled just boiled. The Mexican cheese was a little different. The hibiscus tea was really great. Outdoor seating, covered and uncovered is kept nicely
