We had an assortment of appetizers (all fried but hey, it's Puerto Rico and we fry a lot of things) The temperature of the restaurant was a little too warm for my liking. I think the amount of people there is what made it warm. Food was not elevated cuisine but it was a decent price and good quality. I'd say close to homemade Puerto Rican food. I'd go again. Many plates to choose from with a great variety. Happy that we went:
