I've had the fried avacodo tacos and the veggie burrito and both were quite good. House made corn tortillas on the taco were delicious as well as the jalepeno apple slaw. Very creative menu. Super casal placeThis place really is like a shack - terrible wavy floors and somewhat kitchy decor and not so professional wait staff - but a group of friends who lived in the caribbean and know how to cook. Their Moscow Mule is made with fresh ground ginger and not ginger beer and is the best I've had on the northshore. They run specials and will text you coupons, etc. Live music on the weekends.

Had very high expectations based on the reviews, but it was a complete disappointment. Restaurant was dark and fairly empty for lunch time, which should have been our first clue. Including my wife and I there were a total of 6 patrons. The waitress couldnât have been any less in a hurry. Frankly, it seems as if she was the only one working the restaurant. She was definitely the only front of house employee and from what we could see there was no one else in the kitchen. It took forever to get a draft beer. Like, we had our appetizer before she brought my draft beer, and there were a total of 6 diners in the restaurant. We ordered the tostones app which was 4 fried plantains literally covered with a mound of black bean paste and meat. It looked like 4 mounds of dog poop on a plate that you had to sift through to get to the plantains. It was not fresh at all, clearly microwaved. The tacos were just as awful. Unfortunately for me I got the same meat in the tacos that were on the plantains. Old, dry, horrible. My wife ordered a tamale. Again, microwaved, stale, just not good. This building must be cursed since every establishment that operates out of here is just not very good. Iâm not sure what other reviewers are eating or on what day they came or maybe they just donât know good food, but this was awful, the prices are ridiculous for the quality of food, and the service is horrible. There are definitely many other better options in Downtown Covington. Never again...

We've eaten here several times, and each has been a winner. My all time fav is the catrachitas $5.50. Today we had the honduran chicken $3 (which was authentic, but average, the filling was heavy on masa, with few potatoes and only 1 olive). However, I ordered the Tajada con carne molida.$8.50 It is plantains topped with ground beef & potatoes in gravy, topped with cabbage, shredded chicken, salsa, pickled jalapeno, pickled onions, and fresca cheese. OMG - the layers of flavor - ABSOLUTELY delicious !!!!!Local, family owned, on the street behind Home Depot. Very reasonable prices. Good service. All dishes are made from scratch.Good for families or singles. Lots of TVs - usually tuned to soccer.They also serve BREAKFAST and make tripe soup on weekends.
