"I went by this place not expecting much. The restaurant is Cuban style and interior design is awesome! Very welcoming atmosphere with very friendly staff. I didn’t know but I had come about 30 minutes before the happy hour ended so tried a bunch of different things on the menu. I had a sangria, fries, ceviche, and burger which were all very unique flavors but amazing and the presentation was beautiful! When the actual dinner menu came out, I tried their plantains which was also very good. My server was very kind and knowledgeable and kept checking up on me to make sure I was doing well. He has also been the first person in Maine to ask if I had any dietary restrictions which coming from healthcare, I appreciated very much. Highly recommend this place!! Each dish for me was about $7-15 which was very reasonable for the quality."

"Lovely space with gorgeous decor and quaint outdoor seating. The waiter was incredibly friendly and well-informed on the menu. She gave us great recommendations and was efficient and attentive. Loved the paloma. Every dish had a fabulous balance of flavor. Standout dishes were the heirloom salad, queso de frier, and Ron don (definitely get it with the crab). If I could, I'd eat the Ron don here every day of my life."

"Great place and great outdoor dinning. Was the first place we landed at as soon as we arrived in Portland. Definitely a great location. Liked the Costa Rican cuisine and colorful drinks. Also very well priced and comfortable outdoor dining tables."

"We had brunch there a few days ago. It was quiet there. We enjoyed the eclectic menu and flavors that were also diverse. We had the eggs and tried several of the cocktails. The flavors were so unique and a real attention to detail was evident in all they did. Definitely stop in while you are in Sopo."
