I also ordered their piña colada, a bit expensive but very good. Service was super fast. We went on a Sunday afternoon. No line and we got our food in about 10 minutes. They let you know that your food may take a while to be ready because they make everything on the fly. If you've been to PR, it feels like a side of the road food spot. You order off a checklist and you get your food out of a little window. I love those types of spot. Highly recommend.

Order catering at this restaurant and picked up food on a Saturday in August 2021. Wow, this restaurant is extremely busy with all walks of life customers from business, bikers, customers from afar, etc. Their presentation of the food displayed fresh, and so appealing. The scent of the food- wow- delish! The owner & staff prompt & attentive to their customers. As we briefly waited to pick up our cater order for a party of 15, customers kept coming and going. As more food was being brought out to be displayed and sold $$$. As soon as we placed our order in the vehicle with the assistance of the owner bringing the food out to us, the delish aroma that we continued to smell the food was mouth watering. Once back home with our guest and displayed our cater order bountiful of each yellow rice, beans, pork, chicken, pork chops, yucca, sweet banana, alcapuria of yuca, alcapuria of beef, stuff potato ball, corn fritters and shrimp salad. Our guest enjoyed every bite of it and by the end of the day all gone. We will definitely be coming back as a regular customer and order catering at this location more often. We give applauds to the owner and his staff for excellent fresh food and service!

Very thankful that I found this place. I LOVE Chinese food but this fusion is almost perfect. What…read moreI love most about this place is the setup they have. I assumed you sit and order like most restaurants but here you walk in and order immediately like a takeout place. There are tables so you can sit with your order and eat there but I like how quick it all ends up being. It is a little pricier than most Chinese food places but I think it's worth it considering the quality. The one recommendation I would give would be to figure out a recyclable system for those who do want to sit in. A lot of plastic is being consumed. Other than that it's perfect 10/10!

The place looked clean upon arrival. There was plenty of parking, but the entrance was a bit…read moreconfusing as it seemed like there were many people at the counter, but in reality there was only one person taking orders. The food was good, though the meat was on the saltier side and the egg rolls were too greasy. I asked for no garlic in the mofongo and requested it on the side instead, but I received mofongo with garlic and even more garlic on the side. On top of that, I was charged $1.00 for the garlic that should have originally been in the mofongo Although the portions are large and can be shared, I found it to be pricey, but I guess that's Connecticut for you. One combo was $15, and the total for the meal came to $55. Egg rolls were almost $5 each, and it was $1 extra for mayo ketchup. Because of the distance, I wouldn't go again unless I'm already in the area, but I would still recommend giving it a try.

I have had great food like the "rabo con moro" oxtail with yellow rice with peas and some not so memorable. Service is friendly and very attentive.

I also love their passion fruit juice and their desserts offerings.

There are a lot of dishes on the buffet line and it looks good but this place is unorganized. It…read morewas busy when I went. Stood in the makeshift line waited my turn. The buffet offerings is a long line of dishes, so long that there's no way to see everything they have to offer before making a decision. I was only able to capture a small portion on video because I was being crowded by other ppl. There's definitely no time to ask questions and there are no labels saying what the various dishes were. Then when I thought it was my turn, the rude lady started helping the woman after me. Others were helping the ones that chose to not stand and wait but rather just walk up. When a young lady took pity and helped me, I just ordered the chicken soup because I was over the whole chaotic situation. If I wasn't so hungry I would have just left. Then waiting to pay I saw my love, Pernil, at the front of the line near the register. I would have loved to try it but knew I wouldn't get help plus I was over this place. My friend was over it too and just didn't order anything. Soup came with rice. It was fine but nothing to make me come back. My food was automatically packed to go, but I sat at a booth to eat. There are enough booths and tables there to eat, but I don't think they offer table service, at least on this day they didn't seem to. I just didn't enjoy the vibe here. Some of the workers are intense, rude, and clearly dont like their job. I like good customer service and I hate being rushed but the culture here just is what it is.

Cazuela is hands down one of the best Hispanic restaurants in Waterbury. No matter what you order…read more-- chicken, pernil, fish, or even a big picadera platter -- everything is seasoned perfectly and cooked with authentic, homemade flavor. Their pernil is juicy and tender, the chicken is always well-seasoned, the fish is fresh and perfectly fried, and the picadera is the ultimate crowd-pleaser for any get-together. Whether you're stopping by for lunch or hosting a party for family and friends, Cazuela truly delivers. And the best part? They're just as reliable through Uber Eats as they are in person. The food always arrives hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. Cazuela always has your back delicious food, generous portions, and service you can count on. A must-try for anyone who loves real Hispanic cuisine!

I've never tried a sandwich that is made out of Plantains so I was excited to try it out. My oh my, was this sandwich delicious. As I bite into the sandwich it was like perfection. The Plantain's were nicely cooked but had a crispness at the edges which was delightful. The Steak was cooked just right and the sandwich was just bursting with flavors. This sandwich could get messy so make sure you have lots of napkins. The cost of the sandwich was fifteen dollars which wasn't bad since it was a good portion. The only con would be that they only take cash. I will definitely be back to try the Monfongo with Pork.

I thought the price was low and I'm sorry to say my expectation dropped. I was wrong. They were so big and tasty. The beef was seasoned ground beef and the chicken was seasoned pieces of chicken. They were cooked, not reheated, while I waited. The owner(?) came out and offered me a cup of the yellow rice and pork to try while I waited. It was a lot more than a sample and so good I had to leave another $5. Can't wait to try this again. (They also use Doordash, Grubhub and Uber Eats).
