Best Nicaraguan Restaurant Ann Arbor Near Me

Christina Salowich: Food was fine, not worth the high price. We were seated upstairs which seemed like the least pleasurable dining experience out of all spots in the restaurant. Patio looked cool, but wouldn’t go again.

June Billie: Only stopped for a glass of Sangria but it was certainly one of the best I've had!! Lovely atmosphere!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Tobias Ulmer: We have been here the second time, last time October 2022. We ordered the Paella Americana again which was excellent the last time, big portion and enough meat for 52$. Unfortunately this time the portion was very small, same price and only a few tiny pieces of meat. I think we will not come again. Sad because there is potential…

Andrii Medvediev: If you come here based on TripAdvisor reviews, know that it's not as great as portrayed. I would rate this place 4 out of 5. We ordered a pitcher of sangria, and I was surprised to find so little cocktail and so much ice in such an "expensive" restaurant. Food here is good, but not what I expected. I won't trust TripAdvisor anymore. It's an okay place, but nothing more than that.

Danielle Greve: Great food and service!

Shivani Saxena: It was my cousin sister's and my (shared) birthday. Priya, my cousin had booked this place. Coming from India, we were a bit apprehensive about the new dishes. However, the food was amazing. We had vegetarian Paella, which is a large, smoked rice dish with vegetables. The rice has to be scraped from a piping hot pan. This is the main course, preceded by tapas. So, we had Patatas Bravas (potatoes in an amazing sauce), bread with tomatoes, Brussels sprouts, goat cheese with pineapple, and a cheese platter with jams and olives.The Spanish cuisine is quite like Indian food. It is intricate, with a lively burst of spices and flavours.The service was friendly and swift.Highly recommended.

Sara Petry: My favorite of them all...like a pineapple crustini...pictured next to another triangular tomato/garlic crustini."Almendras Y PinaMarcona almonds, goat cheese, caramelized pineapple, thyme, olive oil"

Adam Stevenson: Even in a post-COVID pricing world, it was way too expensive for what it was. $70 for some rice and shrimp in a paella that I would prefer from a chain like Bahama Breeze. I'm fine paying premium for good food, this wasn't quite it.The fried potatoes were great though.

Aingeal Jones: Very cute Tapas restaurant with excellent service. We ordered 5 plates, as they recommended 4-6 for two people, but found the portion sizes to be very generous and brought leftovers home with.

Rosey Stuurmans: Incredible on all levels! I loved the sangria, the smoked tuna tapa and the churros! Incredible experience and very nice staff! I came back a second time for happy hour at the bar (3-6 weekdays).

Fred Hernandez: It was okay! The menu was way overpriced, and the service was chaotic. Did they raise prices for graduation like the hotels? Regardless, the food was not in the category that it was priced at (about $80 per person).Food: 3/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 3/5Recommended dishes Patatas Bravas, Charcuterie, Churros …More

Carter Starr (Carter Starr): 3.5 stars if I could. I’ve been here twice- first time was very enjoyable. Service was attentive and fast, and food was excellent- some of the best I’ve had in Ann Arbor. This was pre-covid. The last time I went, it seems to have gone downhill. Paella was burnt which was disappointing, and our server was not attentive at all- she seemed to be very attentive to the older couple sitting next to us, but would ignore us when we were right next to her (possibly because we were students and students don’t typically tip well lol). Not saying I wouldn’t return, but this second time left a bad taste in my mouth.

claire craig: Amazing Tapas, Sangria, service and ambiance. A must go to restaurant when in Ann Arbor.Dietary restrictions: Server was very knowledgeable about menu and helped my Mom with dietary restrictions.

Daniel Zheng: A perfect date night spot.Aventura proudly states that their paellas are authentic to the techniques and flavors of Valencia, the region from which paella originates. I don't know enough to say either way, but what I can say was that our paella was both delicious and sizable in quantity.The real highlight of the evening, though, was one of our tapas selections: the Almendras & Pina, consisting of caramelized pineapple and goat cheese on a baguette. Remarkable.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian paella option available

Christopher Price: Great food and good service. The red sangria is delicious. It’s great local tapas. I don’t think it can compare with proper Spanish tapas in Spain but it works in a pinch. I wouldn’t go back if I’m in the area because the value isn’t there for me but I’d recommend to anyone at least once. You won’t go wrong if you eat here but do be prepared to spend some money.

Colin G.: Came here on a whim, as I was traveling into town.Absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was lovely, the service staff was friendly and accommodating.I had a pork shoulder sandwich with Mac and cheese. I was amazed that the sandwich didn't drip at all! No mess! Very very tasty. The Mac and cheese was creamy and crunchy from the bread crumbs. And wasn't soggy like most restaurants. They also used big fat shells for the noodles.Superb restaurant. 15 out of 10. Will return

Rhonda B: I was excited to try SAVA in Ann Arbor. I had heard such great things. I went on a Tuesday so it wasn’t too busy when I arrived for my reservation at 5:45 pm. I was greeted by friendly greeters and service was prompt and attentive.I opted for the Capellini Marlon, which sounded great. My dish came quickly which was surprising and it looked great. BUT…It smelled terrible! It had a fishy smell but also a rotten smell. I couldn’t put my finger on it until I tried the seafood, it almost took my last bite but finally I pinpointed it.I have been told not to order seafood on a Tuesday or Wednesday because fresh seafood is delivered in time for Friday’s dinner menu. Seafood too long after Friday is questionable.Such was the case here. The seafood was old. Shrimp was on the verge and hiding behind the sauce, which didn’t mask it too well. The smell died down once the fish cooled but the taste was a give away.Well I was thinking to just get the smash burger and frittes… guess I should of.Perhaps you’d want to come on a Friday for the seafood but definitely avoid on a Tuesday or Wednesday.Although service was great, my dish was disappointing.Pacific Rim was way better.

Mai Lee: Holy Mac n cheese. I went back 2x for a helping. Delightfully cute place with a good spread for our work event. The atmosphere was fun and lively. The staff could have been more attentive. No napkins! And no staff was around to put it out. Even after they were asked by multiple people we got cocktail napkins.Food: 5/5|Service: 3/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Mac & Cheese, Sweet Potate Fries …More

Laura: One of the Best! Great taste, environment and service. Love it!

Ana Fraia: Ambience is very nice. Food menu is very limited. The starters of olives in orange were nothing in flavor. the garlic potatoes was pure salt. We tried 1 of the pastas and salad the salad I had to change it was too much pepper, they changed the salad, the salad change was good, the salad was really good but we didn’t like any of the pastas. They were dry and tasteless. The desserts and the starters were good and our waiter was very friendly and helpful.

David Sayah: What a great experience! This was my last stop on my Pulpo Group owned restaurants and yet again, only good things to say. Dixboro and Aventura were also amazing (side note). We drank the mediterranean mock mule and blueberry lavender lemonade which were sweetened and tarted to perfection. We had the hummus with fresh warm grilled pita and pickled cucumber for our starter which was very tasty. Our entrées were the black bean wrap and turkey club. My guest loved her wrap and the turkey club was good as well. We split a side of baked Mac and cheese which was honestly my favorite part except the dessert, so bomb. Our dessert was the cheesecake with brûlée sauce and berries which was MOUTHWATERING. The atmosphere inside is very modern and bright! And the service was positive and professional, we were helped by Lexi and Katie. Both were very sweet and had optimistic attitudes, suggestions, and one of which had great things to say about where she worked! Love hearing that they are good to their staff because they are absolute gems. Definitely planning on returning!Parking: Street is undergoing construction, makes it difficult to find parking.

Paula Baldwin: We were the only 3 in the restaurant and had to wait a very long time for our meal. Soup that was suppose to come before dinner came at the same time as my chicken wrap and had a film on it. Sandwich was cold and tasteless, tho there was a lot of lunch meat in it. The other had a dried up patty melt. Ordered chips/salsa when we first got there and it was like they threw some old chips in a bowl and the salsa was tasteless. Asked for Reuben egg rolls from their 4 listings of appetizers and they didn’t have any. Definitely will not be going back.

Ron Hunter: We stayed at the neighboring hotel and after checking in we found out the restaurant was closed (at 5:45PM on a Saturday). The staff member says to us "go next door to The Kensington, they have a restaurant called Re•Lish. Way better food anyway". So we walked next door to Re•Lish. We were glad our hotels restaurant was closed about 5mins after sitting down. Our server, Donte, was fantastic. Food was great. Our appetizer was the Corned Beef Egg Rolls, I got the Seared Mahi Mahi and my wife got the 3 PC fried chicken. Well prepared and fast service. We ended up going back the next day for breakfast, Donte was our server again (fantastic server). Really great breakfast. We are already talking about stopping in there when we travel to the Detroit Zoo (which we do quite frequently) because it is on our way.
