The churrasco was also an incredible plate (more than enough food for 2 people!) personal highlight was definitely the house pickles; it's bright and vinegary and tastes good with EVERYTHING. Only notes are that not everything on the menu has the price next to it, so you might have to ask for certain items' prices. Dining in has an automatic 20% gratuity added.

Strongly recommend. While you wait, you can take a drink outside. Epic perk.

The place itself is tucked away into Lakewood and offers a great atmosphere with an indoor/outdoor flow. The ambiance is nice, they have good music playing in the background not too loud and not too quiet. We went in the evening, so all the lights were turned on which made the experience enjoyable. All the food was really flavorful, and they had a ton of options for cocktails. The complimentary sauces are phenomenal and definitely take the dishes to the next level! Unfortunately, we had to wait over an hour for our food to come out and despite being told appetizers would be quick they took awhile. Server was kind and apologetic and explained they had a new training chef although it felt others around us were getting their food. I do wish they would have given us a complimentary appetizer or made one free of charge as the wait total was almost 1.5 hours. Overall, this place is a really great stop and I'm glad to have it nearby. I have heard the service and speed is usually efficient so maybe this was just a one night thing. Definitely stop in as they have a large menu with bold flavor and a great atmosphere.

I ordered the chicken milanesa, a cheese empanada, and I got a side of sweet plantains. The price was pretty reasonable for such a large portion! I would definitely say two people could comfortably share these items. I personally liked the portions, as a Latina, because that's what I'm used to. The chicken dish came with rice and beans - I picked the white rice and regular beans. You could have picked from a few combinations. This dish came with a small side salad too. The flavors were authentic and I will definitely be ordered this again. The side of sweet plantains offers almost a full plantain in its portion size. I would definitely order this again. I will say, I like mine a bit crisper and these were pretty moist/mushy. Still delicious and really more of a point of preference! The cheese empanda had the dough I'm used to and was cooked perfectly! The cheese was some mix of yellow cheese and I prefer mozzarella in them. This is a point of preference also - if you like cheese empanadas, you'll be happy with this one. All in all - I'll be ordering again REALLY SOON!

My friend and I each had two pupusas and split a side of plantains (platanos) for lunch. Probably didn't need all that food, but I ate every bite. Super tasty!

Was confused for a bit since it looked like a storage spot now. So just go to the enterance next to it. It's a small little mart and there's a doorway that leads to the sit down section. Guess they are use to people who've been there and people who know what they want. Asked me right off the bat what I wanted to order when there's no menu of any sort anywhere. I ordered three pupusas: revueltas, pollo con queso, and chorizo con queso to go. Was told 30-45 mins, got it in 30. Came with a baggie of their slaw and dip. Delicious, all three of them. Had good amount of filling in all of them. Definitely, coming here again

As we looked around the building started to fill up. There are so many different dining options. I love that they have the country of origin on each food stall. You can learn so much about a culture by tasting their food. All the staff we spoke to were so friendly. You can stroll around the food stalls and choose exactly what you want. We were given a pager to alert us when our food was ready. After ordering food we went and ordered aqua fresca. They have a huge community kitchen and retail area. There is also a huge patio area. We were told there would be events on the patio in the summer. Centro Villa is a great concept and I hope to see more like it. It is a gem!

Now imagine one where all the food is from different countries in Latin America, this is exactly what you will find in Centro Villa 25. Here you will find Puerto Rican, Dominican, Cuban, Salvadoran, and Mexican food shops. There was Latin music playing (not too loud) and there was a common seating area with simple tables and chairs. I was with a big group and there were orders from different shops, but I ordered from my people the Puerto Ricans. I had rice and beans with steak and onions, and a sweet plantain dish with ground beef called pastelon. The food was decent and I wouldn't mind coming back if I was in town, especially if I was craving some back home food. PS - I am regretting not taking pictures, but I am getting better at that.
