“ I’ve been to this restaurant a few times and it never fails. The food is so good and the people are so kind. The tostones are always cooked to perfection and are also crunchy, just how I like them. Their passion fruit juice is also very good. The garlic bread to start is a great little app. ”
“ The food here is amazing! I really was satisfied with what I ordered which was Mofongo with chicken. The coffee was also very good. I'm a coffee drinker and know good coffee. Even the dessert, the budin, wow It really felt like I was sitting down in a restaurant in Puerto Rico. Hope you stay around for a long time! ”
“ We stopped off at this wonderful spot for some Puerto Rican food. I ordered the chuletas fritas with arroz con gandules and maduros. The chuletas were off the hook – absolutely finger-licking good! My wife ordered the pastelon de picadillo y platano, which was exceptionally good. My mango shake was a perfect accompaniment to my meal. We finished our meal with great desserts: I had the flan, which was very good, and my wife had the Tres Leche Oreo, an excellent choice! The cafe con leche was the icing on the cake for a truly wonderful night out. We highly recommend this lovely spot. And a special shout-out to our lovely waitress; she was wonderful! ”
“ Great food and service from most of the staff! My chicken was a bit salty but it’s nothing major! We got the stewed chicken and the roasted chicken with a cheese empanada and a chicken and cheese empanada. The older gentleman was fantastic- very attentive! We also had pretty amazing garlic bread! Highly recommended and will be coming back! Only thing I would change is the tables felt sticky... ”
