They made it sound good in Spanish, but nuggets are nuggets, not the best choice.. Zero flavor on the chicken, nada. The empanadas were good.

This place is still getting it's feet wet in the Avalon Marketplace, but so far, so good. For first timers, we got a little bit of everything. I had an empanada which was nicely stuffed, a side of rice and beans which was separated and plentiful and a chicken pincho (aka skewer which I learned down the road at Willie's Pinchos from DDD) which was pretty tasty and served with a fried plantain disc and a crunch AF chicharron! The Mrs. ordered the Chicken Mofongo which she enjoyed. The chicken on that dish was different than the chicken pincho. The menu was pretty basic for a new opening, but the dude taking orders that they plan on some more stuff as they continue to grow. And nothing helps you grow, like a smooth, soft opening.

I was a bit disappointed with both the service and the food during my visit…read more While the food had good flavor, it was not served very hot. The yuca was hard, though I asked for the softest pieces from the bottom, if you know about Yuca you know what I mean. I had gone wanting the roast chicken but right when it got to my turn to place my order, they had run out. So I got the pork. I specifically asked the employee for pieces with less fat, and she responded in a way that seemed annoyed. Unfortunately, the pork I received was nearly half fat, even though I requested less fat and more meat. The worst was the piece of pork skin, it was soggy, any Puerto Rican or Cuban will tell you this is No Bueno The rice was probably the best part of the meal, even though it was not served very hot. Overall, for the price I paid, I expected better food quality, customer service, and consistency. I may give it another opportunity if I'm in the area again and it's earlier in the day though I went on a weekday right after work, 5 ish to be exact but it should be consistent.

Extremely Disappointing…read more It's pretty hard to confuse chicharrón de pollo with bistec encebollado, yet somehow this restaurant managed to do exactly that. I called ahead to confirm they had chicharrón de pollo, drove 15 minutes, placed a simple order of chicharrón de pollo with white rice and red beans, and waited another 15 minutes for it. After I got home, they called to tell me they had given me the wrong order and asked me to drive back to fix their mistake. Absolutely not. Sure enough, I opened the bag and got bistec encebollado with white rice and no beans. I put it in the fridge and cooked something else. This isn't the first time they've messed up my order. I've given them the benefit of the doubt more than once, but enough is enough. The quality and service keep getting worse. Maybe it's time to go back to the food truck where it all started -- because whatever they're doing now clearly isn't working.

The dining room is spacious and well decorated. The server was nice, helpful, and joked around with us during ordering. We ordered a mojito and a passion fruit margarita. My husband said his mojito was good and refreshing. My margarita was ok, a little bland to me but drinkable. For food I ordered a steak sandwich, my husband ordered roast pork with yellow rice and beans. We also ordered a bifongo to share. Once we received our food it was hot and the presentation was nice. The roast pork and rice was well seasoned and tasted great. The steak sandwich was packaged well and was tasty, one of the best steak sandwiches I've had in a long time. The bifongo was soft and you could taste both the sweet plantains and regular plantains perfectly. The bifongo was so tasty on its own it didn't need the sauce it came with. The restaurant is well decorated, the servers helpful and friendly and the food was seasoned to perfection. I would like to come back and try more menu items.

I finished eating, had leftovers, and had to resist ordering more tostones for the ride home. Speaking Spanish isn't necessary, but it definitely helps if it's your first time here. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I had the pernil (roasted pork) combo which came with rice and a side. Much of the food sits out for you to see, but nothing has labels, so I went with my gut. The rice I chose had bits of fat in it which really enhanced the flavor. The pernil was good too. Nothing out of the ordinary - just good, standard pernil. But those tostones... I'm confident I'll be stopping here for tostones whenever I'm in the area.
