Ate here with the family as we were in the area and looking to try something different. Puerto…read moreRican food sounded really good especially given we needed a break from the heat. The employees were super nice and we ordered some beef skewers, rice, and two different empanada's (pizza, beef). The skewers were ok as they were tender but I was not a huge fan of the sweet sauce. The rice was cooked really well but I feel like the spices were a bit overpowering for me but my wife did enjoy it. Lastly, the empanada's were cooked well but I wasn't a huge fan of the pizza one as it really didn't have a great taste to it. The star of the meal was the beef empanada for me as it was tender beef, was juicy and combine that with the pastry wrap outside was great. All in all I would recommend folks at least give this place a try.

Very fresh and good food! We went with the chicharrones de pollo and patelitos. Loved the…read morechicharrones de pollo; not too greasy, good acidity, and good crunch while still being juicy. Tostones were also very good, although I think the ratio of chicken to tostones was off. The pastelitos were also good but barely filled, which is why I subtracted a star. If they had more filling, easily 5 stars. I also think the chicharron plates could use a fresh element to cut down the all fried part. Service was timely and the (i presume) owner was nice both times we called. Pickup was also very easy from the window. Overall, I would definitely come back!

I got three orders of chicharrón that came with Tostones. Each order was $20. I ordered it through DoorDash to be delivered. I should've taken pictures but forgot but what I got was a joke. In the order was three pieces of Chicharron and the Tostones. The Chicharron barely had any meat and it wasn't that tender. Very very disappointed and honestly a little upset for the price I paid. I definitely will not be coming back.

This was our first time. Come to find out, he is here every weekend, except certain holidays. "Solo" gave us a sample of Pernil (pulled pork) and gandule rice. Just one taste and I was hooked line and sinker. The flavors were spot on, the pork moist and tender. We also ordered one empanada filled with ground beef and veggies. It had the flavors of a pastele. Also ordered Tostone- green fried plantain which came with two dipping sauces. Garlic oil and Mayo/ketchup. Overall, excellent boricua flavors. The owner and his assistant are so welcoming. This is a food truck. There are outdoor chairs and table, but of course we picked a windy day. He is located in a dirt parking lot behind Grace Church. We sat in our car to enjoy our food. There were other food trucks setting up for the evening as well.
