Menu board!

The reviews are good! So I was in town doing laundry at the local laundry mat and stopped here for some authentic Spanish cuisine! So good! So flavorful! Really felt like I was at my abuelas! I got yellow rice, and with 1 meat it's $8.00 for a large. With 2 meats it's $12 for the large size. Deliciouso!

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 food is really good! The service is quick. It's a sit down spot but the food is already made,…read morehot, ready to eat. There's ample seating inside. The only thing is that this spot is a bit pricer than other Hispanic restaurants. Therefore I don't make it in often. But when I do come, I'm never disappointed.

The mofongo with shrimp was incredible -- perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, soft inside,…read moreand packed with garlic flavor. The shrimp were juicy, fresh, and cooked just right. Every bite tasted homemade and authentic. Definitely one of the best mofongo dishes I've had. The portion size was generous, and the sauce tied everything together perfectly without overpowering the dish. You can tell real care went into the preparation and presentation. I'd absolutely come back for this again and recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Puerto Rican food.

Horrible!! I came here bc my brother invited me and said it was a great restaurant but it was…read morebought out and under new ownership. Vibe was off as soon as we walked in but decided to give it a go anyway. Btw around 6pm on a Friday. Only one server who seemed new and was doing everything by herself. We then decided to order and the first she said was "oh we are out of this and we are out of that." Flag! Not busy at all as a matter of fact only a couple of people inside and 2 at the bar. Then when I ordered pollo guisado she said "oh I'm sorry we are out of that too.." I said ok bistec then and my brother ordered the same with the rice n beans and a side order of tostones.. everything was bland rice, beans, and especially the bistec. No flavor whatsoever. And the Bistec although bland tasted like it was old and had a weird taste to it. My brother agreed. Simply horrible! The only 2 things that were good was the tostones and the parcha juice! That was it definitely NOT worth the money at all. If you go again expecting how it used to be well prepare to be disappointed to say the least. You will see. Sad.

I visited Spain with my family for dinner and it was not what I expected from a Spanish restaurant…read more Most of the items on the menu are heavy dishes that lean more Italian-American or American in my opinion. Vegetarian options are very limited-the evening I visited there was a pasta with vegetables and vodka sauce, a spinach dish and grilled vegetables. I ordered the grilled vegetables and got a giant platter of many different types of vegetables. This was fine except there was half an avocado on top that even a very generous drizzle of balsamic glaze couldn't hide was past it's prime. I only looked at the wines by the glass, but there was one Spanish white and one Rioja. I ordered the white wine and it was solid. My family ordered the veal parmesan, fried calamari, linguine with clams, a mushroom appetizer, and coconut shrimp and they were happy with their dinners. The veal, calimari and linguine had a lot of oil. All of the portions are huge and there's a $5 fee for sharing, so definitely come with an appetite.

All of the food at this restaurant was a fusion style food. The taste and flavors are amazing. Eating here is like having good sex. The atmosphere and music is relaxing. This is absolutely what I needed after a hard week at work.. our waitress was amazing also. Her name is Hanna. She was super attentive. My blood sugar levels were going down when I got here. I mentioned it to Hanna and she was so accommodating. Thank you Hanna I appreciate your good service. Every time I'm in town I'm going to want to come to this restaurant.

We tried calling before arriving to see if they would be able to take us but their line was busy. I'm not sure their phone was working. We were a table of 4. They were pleasant and quick. They auto charged a 20% gratuity, which was a bit steep but understandable due to the holiday. Charred pulpo was tender and delicious. The scallops were tender but I wished the bacon was crispy. The lobster ravioli sauce was salty. It was salty in the bacon wrapped scallops as well. It would've been more enjoyable if the sauce was good, especially with the bread given. The sauce in the Valentine's Day special with the steak and shrimp was delicious. A bit on the oily side but cooked to perfection. The seafood was so good! A lot of muscles, clams, shrimp, and crab. I ordered mine with pasta. The drinks were delicious! I highly recommend their pisco sours.
