The colorful décor, music, and overall ambiance create a warm and inviting experience. The food was delicious. Every dish was full of flavor, and you can tell everything was made with care. The pork was incredibly tender. Even the rice and beans, which can sometimes be overlooked, were flavorful and delicious. The fish was perfectly seasoned, allowing the natural flavors to shine without being too salty or overpowering. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and well-balanced. If you're looking for delicious Caribbean food in a welcoming atmosphere, this place is definitely worth a visit. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

My husband and I ate here yesterday. Let me just say that I have ordered catering from here as well…read morefor a party I hosted and it was good. So we decided to show some love as we are Puerto Ricans ;) and well we love our culture and food. Cute little spot nice and clean and loved the decor. Friendly waitress. We decided to try a chicken empanada it was good but the hot sauce they had was cholula which we are not a fan of. Definitely needed some homemade PR vinagery hot sauce on them tables or at least Tabasco, or even goya. I got the fried pork chunks very tender and the amount was a lot but they did not serve any lime with it. I did not want to bother the waitress it was only her serving and she was busy the rice and gandules was ahhh good but missing something. My husband also got the same rice and said the same. His fried chicken was tasty tho. We decided to try the guava flan oh lordy it was over load SWEET!! too sweet!!!! Will we come again????? absolutely!!! I just hope they have better hot sauce!!!!

But I can smell the roast pork shoulder and knew it was recently cooked, we call it Pernil. I wanted some of that with your typical white rice and beans which had plenty of pumpkin. I started to reminisce of old times in the Bronx where you had many quick meal restaurants we call Cuchifritos where this dish was standard stable. I didn't order fried plantain, Tostones, or the sweet one, maybe next time.
