But never have they been rude or unprofessional by any means when I call up later than Norm but they always answer in good spirits and try to accommodate as best they can and that I am very grateful . The food is excellent the atmosphere excellent the staff is one of a kind. They have come a long way 100% it's hard to find a good Puerto Rican restaurant in Woodbridge, and the fact that they are right at the tip of our fingers is absolutely amazing. I wish them nothing but the best. I hope they prosper and keep growing. Thank you very much Surrender Café for everything you guys do for the community in general. God bless! and to everybody reading this, go there sit down, chow down and enjoy the food and Enjoy life.

We were coming back from the airport and the person we'd picked up hadn't had Colombian food in…read moremonths, so we stopped on the way south in Woodbridge. The location was packed and had a good vibe, and we only had to wait five minutes or so for a table. For a drink I got a Jugo de Lulo, a favorite of mine when I travel to Colombia, and it tasted nice, but seemed a little small compared to those I've had in other Colombian places. We ordered empanadas. My first empanada was not freshly cooked and lacked the snap in the masa that comes when it's right out of the fryer. Instead, the masa was rubbery and cool. The other empanadas and my second one were fine, so they'd unloaded an old one on us with our order. Since my wife got the Bandeja Paisa, and I knew I'd end up helping her to finish it off (the plate was typically massive) I ordered from the arepa menu and got an arepa with shrimp. It looked underwhelming on delivery as it was lacking the style and topping shown in the photo. It tasted fine, but wasn't anything special at all. The third member of our party ordered the shrimp and squid in cream, which she enjoyed. Then the staff got annoying when they tried to clear our plates away while we were still eating. We asked them to wait until we were all finished, but two minutes later we had to stop them again. They were literally trying to grab the plate in front of me while I was moving some of my wife's bandeja paisa to it. Finally, we asked for a takeout box, and they were hovering over the table waiting to clear it and actually started as I was loading the takeout box. It was as if they couldn't get us out of there fast enough. After all that, we couldn't get out of there fast enough either. FYI, be advised that tips were included in the bill even for our three-person party. It wasn't mentioned, but it was on the bill when we reviewed it before paying.

I decided to give this place a try after seeing a TikToker's review. When we got there, my husband…read morementioned that the food didn't quite look the same as what was shown in the videos, and I have to agree. However, the flavors were definitely there, which is what matters most. I tried the alcapurria, and while it was decent, I've had better. The chicken inside was a little dry and could have used more seasoning and flavor. On the other hand, the chicken empanada was really good. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and had a nice seasoned taste that stood out. That's definitely something I would order again. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of my lunch, but I also ordered pernil with rice and gandules, as well as baked chicken with rice and gandules. As someone who loves pernil, I have to say that Puerto Ricans make some of the best pernil. It's always well-seasoned, flavorful, and tastes clean rather than overly greasy. The pernil here did not disappoint. The rice and gandules were also very good. While it doesn't quite compare to my husband's aunt's homemade version, it was still packed with flavor and complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would come back to try more items from the menu. If you're in the area and craving Puerto Rican food, I think it's worth giving this place a try.

The first time I ate there. It felt as I walked in to a relatives house. The ladies behind the counter were eager to take my order. I got Yellow rice, pernil, yuca, stewed chicken, pastels de plantano, beef empanada and a coco loco. I was in my glory. As much as I tried I couldn't finish it all. I took the leftovers home. I returned the next day after for more. 2 days later I returned again. Week later I returned again. The menu changes I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything . The finest Home cooked meal I ever had in a long time. Definitely recommend it!!

We ordered a bunch of food, and everything was just okay. Same for the drinks decent, nothing special. I was actually going to rate it higher... until I saw roaches. That instantly changed everything and made me question the entire sanitation of the restaurant. I've been nauseous just thinking about it. Once you see one roach, you already know there are more and if you bring even one into your home, it becomes a nightmare to get rid of. Because of that, I cannot recommend this place to anyone. Cleanliness is the bare minimum, and this totally ruined the experience.

I was told they were focused on catering that day, which seemed to limit what they could offer walk-in customers for lunch.

The potato ball had a flavorful beef filling, but the potato itself was a little bland and slightly over-fried. 8/10. The Dominican Cuban sandwich was just okay for me. I wasn't a fan of the cabbage, it was a bit messy to eat, and the pork flavor seemed a little off. 7/10. The yuca fries were outstanding--crispy, delicious, and even better with both the signature pink sauce and the cilantro garlic sauce. 9.5/10. I also tried the chicken, pork, and cheese empanadas. At $4.75 each, they're generously stuffed and a good value. The chicken and pork were both tasty but a little dry, so I'd give each an 8/10. The cheese empanada was my favorite--gooey and delicious, though it could use a touch more salt. 9/10. Both dipping sauces were excellent. The pink sauce had a classic Dominican mayo-ketchup base with garlic and a nice tang, while the green cilantro garlic sauce was fresh and flavorful. 9/10 for both. The restaurant feels more like a takeout spot than a dine-in destination. There is seating available, but the décor is pretty minimal. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the empanadas, fries, and sauces, and I look forward to trying more of the menu.

My wife, who is 8 months pregnant, and I stopped in for a meal and sat at a table where we have sat…read moremany times before, near the mirrors. The restaurant was nearly empty, with only one other couple dining at the time. Shortly after we sat down, I noticed one of the cooks open the front door of the restaurant, look directly at us, throw his hands up in frustration, and begin mumbling under his breath. He then started moving large boxes into the restaurant. Since I speak Spanish, I understood some of what he was saying. He complained that there were plenty of other seats available and questioned why we had chosen to sit where we were. As I looked more closely, I realized the mirrors beside our table were actually sliding doors to a storage area. It became clear that he was upset because my wife and I were seated in front of it. Had someone simply approached us and politely asked us to move, we would have gladly done so. Instead, the cook continued making comments under his breath and staring at us while moving boxes. Once he finished, he walked past our table, gave me a dirty look, and called me a vulgar name in Spanish ( cara de mierda). At that point, I stood up and asked him, in Spanish, to repeat what he had said. Rather than addressing the situation, he immediately walked into the kitchen and refused to come back out. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable having my food prepared by someone who had just openly insulted me and my pregnant wife. We decided to leave without ordering. This was especially disappointing because we have visited before and always enjoyed the restaurant. Unfortunately, the way this situation was handled was completely unprofessional and has likely cost them two longtime customers.
