If you're the type who loves to discover ethnic, storefront restaurants serving great food, you…read morewill LOVE this place. If you prefer someplace fancy with more formal service, skip it. (That will make it easier for me.) This is one of the many Latin restaurants in Holyoke who serve lots of yummy options out of a steam table (like stewed chicken, rice, beans, maybe even some oxtail). They do that here too, and it's quite good. BUT what makes this place so special are the formal menu items. Like fried whole snapper or shrimp mofungo...they were incredible! In fact, it may be the most flavorful shrimp dish I've had since moving to Western MA 3 years ago. There's one more reason to go: Carlos the chef/owner. He's incredibly frriendly and charming and loves talking about food. They were wrapping up for the day when we were there (they close at 7 and we showed up around 6:30) and he made us feel so welcome. WHile the staff were getting ready for the next day, he came and chatted with us. This guy loves food and he loves making customers happy. How can you not love a place like that?

We have been regular customers of Crave and began ordering more frequently after learning about…read moreTaco Tuesdays. However, following our experience on 4/7/26, we have decided this will be our last order. Our order was incorrect, and when we attempted to call (413-427-9328), the call went directly to a full voicemail box, leaving us unable to resolve the issue by phone. We had to return in person to request a correction. We had ordered rice and habichuelas but received only rice. Upon arrival, we were informed that the stewed pink beans were unavailable; however, no one contacted us to offer a substitution. Instead, the item was simply omitted. We were then given black beans as a replacement, but the order was still incomplete, as we received only one container despite ordering two. Additionally, no effort was made to compensate for the inconvenience of multiple trips (approximately one hour of additional travel time), and our tacos were not remade, resulting in a soggy and unsatisfactory meal. While the cost of the order was modest, the primary issue was the way the situation was handled. The response we received felt dismissive and unprofessional, as though the error was our fault rather than a service issue. For future improvement, I recommend contacting customers when items are unavailable to offer substitutions, as well as ensuring a more courteous and solution-oriented approach when addressing order issues. Due to this experience, we will not be returning and will be sharing our feedback accordingly.
