Most underrated spot in all of Philadelphia. Phenomenal food, atmosphere and people. Highly encourage anyone and everyone to check it out. The take out is amazing as well!

Joined friends for dinner here. Multitude of dishes had, all were on par. Service was solid. Prices reasonable, and it's BYO which makes for an inexpensive night out. Chips were leaning overcooked and underseasoned. And when they ask you if you what spiciness level you'd like, I am disappointed to say the "hot" level of spiciness needs quotes. It barely registered as spicy, and I'm not a smoker or a hophead. Having said that, I'd def try again to see if it was just an off-evening

I like the atmosphere and the food here is really good. The owner of this place is a good guy as well. I'm always looking for a way to save especially when making food selections because I spend a lot on food. So I do not like that they do not offer specials, food combinations or have any special dish days (Taco Tuesday, ect.). Other than that this place is great and I definitely recommend it.
Prices are not bad and they give you quality food.

Great spot with excellent food and service. Just wish they had more flexible hours since they are not open late and close for an hour in the late afternoon. Get the chicken sandwich it always hits the spot.

Best impromptu lunch pick ever. The food was so good I was mad I didn’t have anymore. We tore that food up lol. I’m just mad we couldn’t split our bill. Our host was super pleasant and he definitely made sure we were all good. I recommend this if your looking for some good fooooooood

While not quite pan-latin (as mentioned in the description...wrong menu on here as of 12/27/18), it's certainly more than a typical Mexican restaurant. Cute, casual interior, good service, and a really good menu with a lot of from-scratch, well-done food. And don't forget the tequila as it's BYO and they offer some tasty pitchers of mixers!
I'll definitely be going back!

When we come down town for choir practice, we're looking for a good place for a quick meal. This byob is a great quick latin meal. The chef is ecuadoran, I think, so I like the south american dishes, but they make the basics of latin cooking. a great little neighborhood gem.

The food was quite flavorful and my server was very friendly. The owner and/or manager however was rude, abruptly informing us we stayed past closing time. They're was no warning, he just came back and said it was time for us to leave. Go for the food but don't look for great service and definitely don't go close to closing time!

Almost all dishes are offered with a veggie option and a vegetarian chorizo fill option, which I appreciate. Cute little place. Service was very good. Tasty. Affordable. Its BYO.
