A couple of us had the crab cakes and they were delicious and full of yummy crab. Those who had the fish special and steak were delighted with their meals as well. We were too full to even consider dessert. Archie was our server and he did a fantastic job. Overall it was a wonderful night out

We ordered Christmas Tamales from Libertad and I decided to take my husband there for brunch and to pick up the tamales. I'd been there twice before with girlfriends for brunch. Once again it was outstanding, amazing food and very friendly service. We had the Pan de Avo, Panqueques, plus sides of Crispy Potatoes (the crispiest EVER!!!) and Bacon (with a lovely drizzle of maple syrup on them). Everything was just perfect! Will definitely be back again and again.
