They have a good amount of seating available inside and great options to choose from. We did end up grabbing some made to order alcapurrias. All 3 tasted good but they needed hot sauce, lacking in flavor. I felt as the chicken one lacked the most flavor but was ok when hot sauce added & so did the pork one. I'll say that the ground beef alcapurria was my favorite out of the 3; although I still personally felt they all needed some hot sauce to add that kick missing. An alcapurria is a known Puerto Rican fritura/fried street food, growing up to even being an adult it's one of my favorite things if done right. We also had the bistec with rice, a side of beans, & a side of plantains. As well as the pernil with yellow rice. Both of these dishes lacked flavor, again needing hot sauce or missing something. The beans did have a good amount of flavor, which I enjoyed, & the plantains were slightly over fried. The visit itself was satisfying, I would return to give them another shot as well as hopefully try their carne guisada plate, which wasn't available at the time I went that day. I didn't give this business a 4 star rating simply because of the lack of flavor in mostly each item ordered. I would give it a solid 3.8 if I could.

I went on a Saturday during lunchtime, and I was blown away with the crazy amounts of people coming in. Service was absolutely amazing. Every worker was super friendly. The line moved fast with the number of workers they have. The first bite of the rice and beans was heaven. It brought me back to my grandmother's cooking. They have so many choices of authentic Puerto Rican food. This place is 2 hours away from my house but I guarantee you I'll be coming here quite often. They have seating but like I said first come first serve. Get in here before any rush hours and you'll be ok. They have a great amount of breads as well as Spanish pastries. The amount of food you get for what you pay is crazy. I ordered rice and lentils, with red beans, and roasted pork. It was literally enough for lunch and dinner or two people. This was dine in, not sure how much you get for takeout. Smart me I ordered my kids there own meal which had to be taken home as well. This is a definite go-to spot for Puerto Rican food.

Taste is flavorful but I will say it is extremely greasy. The container looks small but they're deep so you do get your moneys worth. The tres leches cake was also very very well made and delicious. Breading was soaked right so there aren't any dry patches. My only complaint is the fried items. None of the empanadas or the other item (forgot the name to it) were good. They were not enjoyable to eat and did not match the quality of the food in the container. The food bar is something I'd go back for, but the empanadas were a disappointment. During lunch, the place was slightly busy, but ordering is fast. The staff was helpful with helping me order since it was my first time there. Cute small restaurant, tables were always clean and the place was an enjoyable little spot!

So after doing some running around I decided to give this place a try. The owner/operator was manning the helm and was very informative. He answered all our questions while frying up orders on the fly. I tried the guava and cheese empanada and the caramel empanada. we took everything to go and brought them home for noms and pics. The empanadas are cooked well, stuffed to the gills, and flavorful. The fried oreos needed to be a bit crispier, but the flavor was there. Prices are pretty good, and the wait times were relatively quick. Overall, it's a good place to try if you're in the mood for an empanada. If you happen to be in the area and looking for a tasty bite, give these guys a try!

So far, we have tried the beef, chicken and cheese empanadas (both as snack and dinner), and they are just satisfying. Mike does not skimp on the filling for the empanadas. We've also tried the caramel empanadas (can be topped with powdered sugar, Nutella, or condensed milk) but we've had it plain. With Mike's suggestion, we added vanilla ice cream on top- and it did need it. The caramel is super sweet, so the vanilla ice cream cut the sweetness a lot. Mike is super friendly, and we wish him loads of success in his business!
