She even came out to check on me & chat - but Spanish only is strictly spoken here. Easy parking, & my whip got a nice wash from the open hydrant outside. Good beer, rum, & tequila selection, & fair prices. Extra points for having super cold Corona Zero on a 100 deg day & serving it with sliced lime. There are basically zero bars open at lunch anywhere around here now - they deserve all the love! Bonus: you DEF won't see Taylor Swift here.

The unique blend of Chinese and Spanish influences creates dishes that are consistently fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. What impresses me just as much as the food is the service. Many of the staff have been here for 25+ years, and their dedication, professionalism, and passion for what they do are evident every time I visit. It's no surprise this restaurant has enjoyed such long-standing success. A true neighborhood staple that has stood the test of time. Highly recommended.

You can't tell how cool it is from the outside, but the space inside is so huge & unique. The different rooms showed the different vibes and uses for the space. Perfect for parties or any kind of celebration. Now for the food- 10/10. My bf & I only ended up getting a few appetizers and drinks which were filling enough. The duck mofongo was outstanding. We also got the duck bao buns which were delicious. I was referred to this place by a fellow foodie and love referring my friends when they're in the Bx. Looking forward to going back for a full dinner.

The arroz con gandules was a solid, well-seasoned base for the meal and came in a generous portion. We also grabbed a couple of pastelillos. The pastelillos con carne and the pastelillo con queso both had a great crunch and were packed with filling. The alcapurria was fried well with a solid exterior, and the inside was full of seasoned meat. To finish it off, we had the bacalaitos, which were huge, savory codfish fritters with crispy edges. It gets hot inside and you will have to wait, but the efficient service and excellent food make it a strong 4 star spot.
