The food is pretty good. I was looking to experience PR food, and they did not let me down. We took home some alcapurrias to fry at home to share with the family. Delicious. The restaurant itself could use some updates.. it’s a bit of a hole in the wall, but these are the best places to find that authentic food

I have to admit when I pulled up I had my doubts, even when I walked in , BUT the food is sooo good. I had the garlic shrimp Mufongo, if you like garlic it is a must. My husband had the fried pork mufongo , it was great too but he should have ordered black beans with it to have ” a sauce” this place is the real deal. . Alot of food for the price. We both had take home boxes.

Horrible experience! Beware! They stole my money! I went with my family (a total of four people) to experience the food from my country of origin PR. The mofongo was pretty good but the sancocho was subpar and the rest of the food was ok. This wasn’t the big problem. The big problem came when it was time to pay and they charged me a total of $116! When I saw the receipt, I noticed that they had taken a $31 tip. I asked why they took that much out for a tip and they said that they automatically add a 15% tip to a group of four or more and that it was written on the menu. When I looked at the menu, it was in very small print at the very bottom. I told them that I had no idea of they were going to take that much for a tip (30%), specially when the service wasn’t all that good and that nobody would really notice that 15% tip disclaimer at the bottom of the menu. I asked for my money back and they said they couldn’t reverse or cancel the transaction, so I said no problem, just give me my money back in cash and they said they couldn’t do that either. I asked for the manager and they said the manager was unavailable. So that, my friends, is how I got my money stolen from this mediocre restaurant. They gave me no recourse and/or options. They should be ashamed of themselves for stealing money from people, that is not the way to do business.

This was a quick detour. Food was good. I would hope in the future they add some pictures to their menus as the foods are new to some people. Inside establishment is nice but it does have a smell .hopefully they fix.

Respectfully, keep in mind I am half PR & DR, I came to this location & ordered two meals to go, it was not busy at all & I was the only person there (even gave a tip when I made the payment before they gave me the food I order) but yet they gave me boiled stew chicken in a small coffee cup in one order which was not the chicken I ordered & they gave me half a cup of mondongo in another coffee foam cup all cups were the size of 4 fingers width & length . The tostones/Yuka/Yellow plantains were all mad soggy & Wet not fried nor crispy how it should be, The salad was a small baby portion with one slice of tomato with no flavor inside the small foam tray pocket as shown, The abichuela(beans) was mad water down but was ok , The rice was ok, and the home made juice was very water down and did not taste natural at all, Both meals coasted me about $41. As the typical friendly Carribean I would have let this go but I thought of all the Non-Carribean people who came to this restaurant and now think this is how real Carribean food tastes when it’s not. Y’all suppose to represent y’all people please fix this. Also the floors were very sticky as I walked throughout the restaurant as if the moping was with dirty water because my shoe made noise every step I took, The restaurant can use some remodeling also.

Where do I start? From the moment I walked in, I should have known better. The place was empty except for employees and theirs children. There were three ladies working the counter and they all had a bad attitude. They didn’t greet me and they were just like “what do want” basically. As if I was bothering them. People from the island are friendly and attentive. The opposite of what you get at this place. Finally ordered and they literally asked me “thats all you want?” As if I wasn’t ordering enough to make it worth their time. Food took forever to come out it wasn’t even worth the hassle. Food didn’t looked good and didn’t taste good at all. Flavororless, overcooked, and unappealing. I ended up throwing it away. I don’t know how these people stay in business! Do not go there unless you want to be disappointed.

The food is just the best! I ordered the mofongo with roast pork and maduros. Everything on my plate was perfection!! This is my third time eating here and I will definitely be back. This time I ate on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm and, although the restaurant was about 80% empty, the to go orders were obviously taking up most of the staffs’ time and attention. While we got our order timely, getting the staffs’ attention afterwards was impossible and I had to walk up to the counter to make our requests known. Same for the final check. I usually eat here on a Sunday afternoon, around 1pm, and it is packed full inside the restaurant. With only two staff, I excused the slow service. I believe the problem is, they need more staff. Their business is booming, their food is delicious and their prices are reasonable considering the excellent quality. I will come back regardless, but I still hope they are considering hiring at least one more person to work in the restaurant and/or to handle the to go orders. That should bring some relief to the customers and the existing staff.

The service sucks. They take out the tip even do it’s was a bad service. They don’t allowed you not to leave a tip for the bad service and charge you extra for using a credit or debit card. What I order was one price and when went to pay was another price. Never again I would go eat there was the first and last. The food was exaggerated salty you could even eat the food.

Well on this day I had the garlic shrimp Mofongo it was good, also stewed chicken with rice and beans and fried sweet plantains… I must say it was good. The taste of the food brought back memories of my childhood growing up. A neighbor from Puerto Rico made similar dishes. Man it was good.the only issue I had was this was my second time visiting 1 st time food was good but service was not. Came and tried to again and as soon as we went in they showed no customer service, girls had attitudes, food was good but took 1hr to get it. Really needs work on their time and customer service

Terrible service. Food was disgusting. Alcapurrias were severy burnt salty and tasteless, Beans had no flavor. Empanadas were very small for the price , decent flavor . They charge for water without asking , chicken is tasteless too even if you asked to be season with garlic . Place smells like a bathroom cleaner as you enter the restaurant. Seating areas are damaged very uncomfortable. Terrible experience and Super expensive for the quality of cooking ! Do not waste your time , money or effort to find it ! The owners should consider revising her cooking practises , presentation and fair pricing according to portions …
