Get ready, because I was gonna gate keep this place but figured it’s our due diligence to help small businesses succeed. I was absolutely TAKEN by how gorgeous the interior was, it was very thoughtfully executed, tasteful, vibey and colorful. The kind of place that truly takes you elsewhere. We didn’t get to try the full “tapas style” menu that we wanted (it was Sunday, and since they’re closed on Mondays they didn’t have shrimp or lamb left). We DID however try their trout pate dip with crostini style bread, and OH MY GOSH. The medjool stuffed dates were a flavor I have never experienced, literally 10/10. And the beef short rib empanadas were def a must try, the sauce they serve w them has so much depth of flavor. You can tell the chef who crafted this menu understands flavor combination & layering - beautifully executed. Cocktails were also delicious, we will be BACK for that sangria. The servers were all absolutely so sweet, chatted with us, explained menu items & one even came out to the car as we were leaving to give us a coupon for a cocktail next time! We will ABSOLUTELY be back 🤍

Amazing evening at a fairly hidden gem in Arlington! We noshed our way through the menu and everything was stellar! Octopus perfectly grilled with slight crisp, charcuterie was enough for 6+ and full of yums. Seafood Paella was outstanding! Shrimp perfectly cooked (hard to find not hammered in restaurant paella!) and rice was crispy on bottom! And the Crispy pork was heavenly! So full of flavor! Our server, Preston was outstanding...guided us through menu very thoughtfully with a passion for the food! And can't forget our new most favorite dessert ever...the Coconut cream cake! My wife is driving back to Arlington from Dallas to get a couple slices for our daughter's birthday! Insanely delicious!

Cafe Americana is literally a hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is amazing—the plants and beautiful artwork make the space feel so warm and inviting. The food and drinks are just as incredible. The yucca bravas are an absolute must, and the potato and beef empanadas were so flavorful and perfectly cooked. My favorite drink was the classic margarita! It tasted amazing and was presented so beautifully. You can really tell they put care into every detail. On top of everything, the staff is super friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to!

Ive been here the first week it opened for an espresso martini and remembered it so much that almost 2 years later I brought my sister for the martini. The vibe here is absolutely amazing. I love the decoration. Definitely an African / Moroccan Fusion. I got the eggs and bacon and my sister got the shrimp and grit so that we could share. We order shrimp and grits or just grits anytime we go anywhere that serves them and these are by far the best grits that we have ever had. I will come here often just for that one dish alone. And the staff is absolutely amazing.Our waiter friendly and welcoming. This place deserves to be packed 24/7

A hidden gem!!!! Went for dinner with my husband to celebrate our anniversary and everything was perfect. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked, the service by the bar manager (whose name I can't remember) was top notch and she even let us try a jam she's working on creating. The atmosphere inside is beautiful and welcoming. I can't say enough good things about this place. I've been telling everyone about this place and I can't wait to go back myself.
