Everything I ate & drank was delicious. Breakfast was Tres Golpes - perfectly cooked egg over easy, over mashed plantains with fried salami and cheese. SO good - the egg over the plantains was an awesome new flavor combo for me. I had a tamarind juice, my wife had the passionfruit - both fresh & tasty. Service was also excellent. Lunch - I literally just pointed to what looked tasty, got it on my plate, and ate - everything was full of flavor. Prices are reasonable for the neighborhood.

Prices are very reasonable for restaurant food, I think, and the quality is absolutely there. They have all the food in heated pans at the front, though the mofongo had to be prepared separately. When I ate the food later on, everything was absolutely delicious. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely order again! Inside, there are a few TVs, and you order at the counter even if sitting in for a meal. Looks clean and cozy enough, and I would imagine fairly crowded at the right times, but I was there mid/late afternoon, so I only saw one table w/ a customer eating. I wouldn't be opposed to it sometime other than having to pay for parking!

The food came out cold, and when I asked about it, it was just microwaved--not even properly reheated. I still ended up eating cold food, which made the whole meal pretty unappetizing. On top of that, the portions were super stingy. I ordered mangu with eggs, salami, and cheese--got one tiny slice of cheese. Seriously? Same thing with the pork--barely any on the plate. For the price, I expected a decent serving, but it felt like they were cutting corners on everything. The vibe from the person serving wasn't great either--just didn't feel welcome at all.
