They also have household necessities and everyday items available, so if you were in a jam.. they save the day.

We are very blessed . . …read more That our area of Southeastern Connecticut has such a large Puerto Rican population - - or we may have never tasted the wonderful food that this restaurant offers. One of the best, if not THE VERY BEST, restaurants in the local area. My only concerns: 1) I didn't see a bathroom, but I didn't need one ‍; 2) we could have used a knife for the pork stick, but we should have asked. The staff is extremely helpful. Wonderful designs, with lots of inspiration. Now for the food: - Chicken Steam Plate: Chicken leg, rice & beans, fried plantain pieces. Chicken super moist, rice was outstanding, & plantains were very tasty. - Beef Stew: very good, similar to Filipino Beef Mechado. - Pork Stick: great tasting pork - - for me, I would have liked a bit more "fatty" on my stick, but it was really meaty!!! - Beans were nicely done. - Smashed Plantains were served with 1000 Island dressing: probably just as good without the dressing. - Ground Beef Empanada: good, a bit of vegetables would have put it over the top (potatoes, onions, carrots, peas) - - but that's there style. - Chicken Empanada: ok, a bit salty for us. Enjoy!!!!!

The steak was as tender as I've had in any steakhouse. The seasoning was perfect. Dinner was topped off with their churros, which come filled and with ice cream. They were super.

We will definitely be back, and soon.

A solid empanada, nothing more and nothing less…read more I went to the local breakfast spot around this area and saw a new place had popped up. 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!

The fries tasted like they were refried from earlier in the day or even the day before. The chicken was rather salty but edible. The fish also tasted like it was reheated from another day, maybe even microwaved. Not exactly sure but it sure did not taste fresh! My Wife and I were very disappointed as we spent $50+ dollars to eat lunch from this spot and it was subpar. That's the risk you take when trying something new tho. The plantains were the best thing we got from this place. The spinach and cheese empanadas are loaded with too much cumin! It was an immediate no from my first and only bite! In conclusion, it is safe to say the empanadas are decent enough but as far as anything else, I wouldn't recommend it. We will not be returning to this establishment.

The portion size was impressive, I have a big take home container to eat for dinner tonight. The steak was cooked perfectly and the sweet onions were awesome to pair with bites of steak and fries. The stir fried portion was seasoned to absolute perfection and the rice soaked up the juices from the stir fry which made it so good. The service here is lovely, the owner consistently shows his face and checks in on customers. A lovely spot well worth a visit.

Wow! the food is EXCELLENT!!!…read more talk about having flashbacks to my youth, when I would get Da BEST Cubano sandwiches in my old neighborhood. Done. To. Perfection. Con pernil with wonderful Boricua-Cubano-Quisqueya flavor, and the bread - classic french bread; crusty on the outside, warm fresh, airy and a little fluffy on the inside, with a touch of Mojito Criollo (of course!) on the outside as the sandwich is pressed for the final step. Delicious, al Dente, crunch and explosion of Sabor Antillano in every bite. Perfecto! BTW, I had ordered the Shrimp Po' Boy, also just perfect, what a delicious remoulade (which with the perfect bread, is what truly makes a Po' Boy stand out) - a perfect lunch. But I took a bite (alright, three bites) from the Cubano my wife-unit ordered, so I know what I'm talkin' about. I told the owner that, "... that was the best Cubano sandwich I've tasted in the last 15 years...". He and his wife (who is the magic in the kitchen putting together the delicious meals) are lovely people, true Foodies and easy to talk with. Like a True Foodie, they love to cook and through their preparations, bring food-happiness to their customers. I truly hope they get many more customers to try their food. I for one will be bringing my friends there (and I've got plenty of friends). I'd give them 6 stars, but can only do 5 here. This place is gonna get to know me really, really well! Ray
