The chips were fresh, not greasy and the salsa was good. Everything is authentic and homemade. I had a lightly salted margarita on the rocks. It was great and they use pure agave instead of sour mix.

I decided to give this place a second chance and immediately regretted it. I ordered the California…read moreburrito, which was seriously lacking in protein and nowhere near worth $20 for lunch. I would've been better off stopping at a taco truck or even grabbing something from the Publix next door. To make matters worse, I ordered ahead and still stood around waiting for 10 minutes. No one acknowledged me when I walked in, so I made my way to the bar, where I continued to wait. For $20, I expected better portions, better service, and an overall better experience. Definitely a waste of time and money.

Our server got our order, repeated it back, and gave us separate checks in the end, and all the receipts were correct! wow! I had the blackened shrimp with 2 sides: salad and fries. There were a ton of fries and salad. The shrimp portion was small. $25. it was tasty. They don't have liquor but they have some wine based cocktails - i had a pina on the rocks $10 and it was delicious. We shared a cake for her bday and the little tent outside made cortados for us. They have some outdoor bathroom facility, which ran out of paper towels, but they also have indoor bathroom with some funny artwork. The menu is extensive. Many people at the table said it was the best mofongo they have ever had. We shared the tostones appetizers - with beef and shrimp on them. Buckets of beer kept appearing at the table. The kids ate chicken nuggets and fries or rice and beans, All in all, a good time was had! Parking is in their private lot, which is landscaping rock. I would not recommend heels. Be comfortable. Outside is not screened in - but they had bug spray for us and fans to keep the bugs minimized. I would eat here again.

Excited to have a Puerto Rican restaurant in the area, so my expectations were high when we went to…read morethe soft launch of their dinner service. They place is a former home of a family member they have converted into this restaurant, which has great outdoor seating - perfect for parties. The best part of our evening was watching the plena band play. Felt like we were at a house party on the island. Some room for improvement can be made in the service. It was very slow and much of the hospitality care was inexperienced. I have a seed allergy, so most of the time I can catch them in the ingredient list or knowing a certain dish may have them, I ask. Last night, I ordered the house sangria, knowing the typically have fruit that don't contain small seeds. This one came with raspberries that I didn't see until I was sucking it down. It was delicious but when the seeds started to float around in my drink, I flagged our server to get it strained or remade. It took a very long time to get it remade and when it came back, it was just red wine on ice, which tasted terrible. It was not until we were well into our dinner that I got a replacement glass of another wine after trying to flag her down again. Speaking of dinner, our foods came out at different times, which can be frustrating for diners wanting to enjoy a meal together, along with the fact that there was no silverware for us to eat with. I felt it a night of constantly trying to get our server to get something that should have been taken care of the moment we sat down. The food was good. It had elements of familiar flavors of the Carribean yet certain dishes were inconsistent in both the presentation and quality. The mofongo was a great hearty dish with pops of lovely flavor. Yummy! The Croquettes were not my favorite. They came out too hot (could have been warned) and were barely filled with creamy insides, I think the béchamel base melted out of the croquettes. All I could taste was the breaded outside. No bueno. While it's great to see a new business start to take shape in our community, I do hope the owners and staff take the time to refine their methods to bring the wonderful cuisine of Puerto Rico to New Smyrna Beach.

I had the radical rice plate with Spanish rice and pork. It was delicious. Very well balanced flavors. My husband had the Mofongo with pork and he said ir was good. The sauce can be a bit over powering if you end up using too much like he did so heads up Our daughters split the tacos and burritos and both loved the burrito and thought the tacos were "mid" teenager talk that means nothing special Our son had the pork sandwich and loved it. It comes with chips and he thought those were a bit bland but the sandwich made up for it Overall would come back. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. They had a pretty nice line when we got here but the line moved fast and the food came out pretty quick. It was fresh, hot and pretty flavorful. I love that it's open sitting. We got to enjoy the nice weather while we ate our food. They have a couple ceiling fans that help on a hot day.

The chef is a one person show, she is attentive and very friendly. Having a gluten intolerance, this place was great. Many of the items on the menu were gluten-free. The table had a mini Cuban sandwich, which was mustard forward and very delicious. We also had the gluten-free chicken and beef empanadas. Both the chicken and beef were well seasoned and tasted great. The outside dough stayed crisp while the inside kept its soft texture. The fried plantains had a nice caramelization which gave it a mild sweetness. We were only looking for a small bit and this place definitely hit the spot!

When my food was ready, I mentioned it to the staff, and they realized that the menu doesn't actually make this clear. They were incredibly kind and offered to remake my food without any hesitation. They also let me know that tomatoes were included in the rice and black beans as well, which allowed me to adjust my order and get exactly what I wanted. The food was good, but the customer service really stood out to me. The building itself is pretty small and there is only outdoor seating, so just something to keep in mind if you're planning to eat there. Overall, a great experience and I really appreciated how accommodating and friendly the employees were!

When I placed the order it said to pick up in 20 minutes but in actual time our order was ready for at least 35 minutes. My husband really enjoyed his burrito almost as good as the ones we got when living in California. My taco was very good, so much chicken on it and the Baja sauce was so tasty! We are very happy we tried them and will be back!
