I walked in and two super nice young ladies were making and serving the food. I appreciated that I was greeted right away and my order taken right away. If Yelp had star options for both the food and the service, I definitely would have given them 4 or 5 stars. I almost always go completely overboard when I try a place the first time. I picked up almost $80 worth of takeout so that I could try a little bit of everything. I really, really wanted to love the food here but I didn't. Unfortunately I didn't really find anything that I ordered that flavorful. The food wasn't bad by any means, it just didn't have the delicious flavors that I normally associate with great Puerto Rican food. As I mentioned it was an unbelievably hot day so maybe the cook was having an off day because of that. If I'm ever driving by there, I'd probably give it another chance since it has such great reviews from other people.

I can't wait for my next time picking up from Judy's!

It may not be the best I've ever had, but when that arepa craving hits, this place steps up like a reliable friend who may not have it all together but still shows up with snacks. The fillings are tasty, the textures hit close enough to the mark, and honestly, it scratches that very specific itch only a warm, messy, cheesy arepa can. It's the kind of meal that makes you say, "Yeah, I could've had better... but I'm still very happy right now." So no, it won't change your life -- but it'll absolutely save your day.

Don't be shy about asking for extra sides and really leaning into the experience. The staff is kind and welcoming. The inside is fine and the vibe is decent, though I do wish it had more traditional décor and a bit more attention to detail. Emphasizing the warmth, coziness, and cultural feel of Puerto Rico would make this place even more special and turn it into a truly cozy spot.

I will weep if they ever close down. Their food is divine. Even their rice is somehow incredible. Their meat bursts with flavor and is tender. I don't order off of their menu; they just have a bunch of hot food buffet style and I just request what I want. I always get their rice with black beans on top. Menu items vary by day but these are common items and some of my favorites: chicken leg, beef ribs, yuka fries, and pork ribs. When I introduced this place to my boyfriend, he fell in love too. When I asked what he would do if it ever shut down, he said he would kidnap the ladies working there (joking, of course). But he did say seriously if he knew ahead of time he would be willing to pay for their recipes. The friendliness of service depends on who's serving you, but no one is rude. They're just straight to the point. The inside is always clean - I just never eat in there since I just pile a bunch of food in a takeout container and bring it home for several meals. My boyfriend can finish it in one go if he's starving though. I always get a takeout box to go, and tbh the only downside is I don't know how much it is until they check out. They don't weigh it either, but I'm sure they have some type of formula? A box is usually around $22 BUT that's with A LOT of food stashed in there that I ask for. It's worth it. Another thing is that their soups, while delicious, are overly salted like crazy! So I usually skip that. Or if you really want to try it, you can dilute it with water and reheat it. A hidden gem overall - Must try! Who would've knew a quiet strip mall can hold some of the best food I've ever had.

Limited by travel as of late I agreed to try a new place my husband found on Yelp for a late lunch…read more I ordered takeout, 4 different dishes just to try a few different items on the menu. I'm not sure if this establishment has dine in option as I did not pickup the order. The Mofongo de chicharron, which was overall fine, the sauce has a lot of good flavors. However, I have to mention that at the center of the mofongo there was a large piece of pork skin that was not mashed that was over an inch long. I was reluctant to try to chew this piece but I gave it a go anyways. It took about 6 minutes to chew through it but I just ended up swallowing some pieces just to get it down. This large piece of skin also created a crater in the middle of the mofongo which made part of the mold hallow. Cutting the chicharron pieces into smaller pieces might have been better. Other than that there were good flavors, a good balance of chicharrones and plantains. The lunch specials on the menu indicate the entrees are served with white rice, mixed rice and salad, much to my family's dismay they were not aware that "salad" meant pasta salad, so if you're not a fan of mayonnaise based pasta salad I wouldn't recommend it. The res guisado/beef stew and the rabo guisado/oxtail stew where practically identical, the portion of entree to sides are severely at an imbalance. You get a small scoop of the stew and the rest of the takeout box is filled with rice, pasta salad and wedged on top of your rice is a small condiment container of sauce that my family said was unidentifiable. The rabo guisado, as mentioned above looks identical to the res guisado with the addition of the small pieces of oxtail. We also had an order of chicharrones, it wasn't bad it had good flavors, it was bit softer than I preferred but still had some crunch to the skin, not maximum crunch but some. Was the chicharrones worth $14? Sadly no. Would I give them another chance? Possibly, just for the mofongo, but that's just a maybe.
