    Beef stew with arroz con gandules
    Trish C.

    GOod bang for your buck and delicious to go with it. We have passed by a few times and decided to finally stop in. I regret not doing it sooner. The beef stew with potatoes brought back childhood memories and was very tasty. It could use some additional heat and then it would be perfect.

    Great price with huge portions.

    Visited this restaurant around 2 PM during a Saturday afternoon. Nice huge portion of food with very reasonable price. Like all the other Hispanic cafeterias, I was overwhelmed by the number of choices of food on the steamed table. However, their service was very friendly with both English and Spanish. They would answer any question about their food. I even got to learn about the difference between Dominican and Peruvian fried rice. I was very happy that I ordered the Budin de Pan. One of the best bread pudding I ever had. Not overly sweet but very flavorful. I will visit this restaurant again just to try all their other desserts.

    If you know you want Hispanic food, but don't know WHAT specifically, THIS is your go-to. It's got many options to order, you won't leave disappointed. Who doesn't HATE when that happens? It's a small-ish, cozy, chill spot. You can tell, taste that the food was made with pure knowledge & care formaking the customer happy. This is a picture of my Carne Encebollado, Arroz con Gandulees, Yuca (Meat with Onion, Rice with Pigeon Peas, Cassava) & Pure Leaf Raspberry tea. Also, you get a LOT of "bang for your buck". If you're not "Starvin' Marvin", you'll have plenty of leftovers. Just reheat it, you have another meal right there. It's a double-whammy.

    a plate of food with rice and meat

    I really enjoyed this place. I called before coming in and the employees were so nice! When you first walk in you see the menu and there's signs of how much the lunch special is. The food is super traditional Hispanic food. I loved everything that was in my plate. You get a choice of rice, a protein and a side for the lunch plate. They serve a lot! Everything was very clean, and they were pretty fast. will definitely be coming back :)

    Cuban sandwich

    I have been here a number of times and couldn't tell you all the different dishes I've tried from their buffet style ordering platform. But I will tell you they've all been great! First of all, this place is hopping, so that's always a good sign. You walk in and can ask for a to go meal (that's what I do) and then you pick your rice (which changes everyday and let's you try all sorts of different styles without getting boring), your meat (again, they're all good, so don't spend too much time trying to decide and instead just close your eyes and pick) and then your side. I'm not sure what it is that I get, ground plantains or something that looks like mashed potatoes, but I get it whenever I can because it is sooooooo good!! Make sure to ask for their garlic sauce and they'll give you some in a little condiment container because just a little off that makes this dish beyond addictive. I tried one of the sandwiches for the first time today - the Cuban - and that was possibly one of the best I've had. Very well flavored and not at all dry. Definitely recommend!!

    I was pleasantly surprised by my recent visit to this restaurant. While the sampler was a bit heavy…read moreon the fried items, the overall experience was quite enjoyable. The standout for me was the shawarma itself - the meat was incredibly flavorful and well-seasoned. I could have easily made a meal just out of the delicious shawarma. The tacos were also a highlight. The combination of the tender meat and the restaurant's amazing green and garlic sauces made for an absolutely delicious dish. Even though the restaurant was empty when we arrived, our server, who had limited English proficiency, was still attentive and provided good service. The language barrier did not inhibit our experience at all. The only downside was the sampler platter, which was very fried and heavy. I wouldn't order that particular item again. But it won't stop me from returning to try some of the other menu offerings, as I'm confident they will be just as tasty as the shawarma and tacos. Overall, I had a wonderful meal and I look forward to coming back to explore more of what this restaurant has to offer. The shawarma and tacos alone are worth a visit.

    I had such an incredible meal here. I went for lunch and the wait staff was so sweet and attentive…read moreto our group. I would highly recommend the mango drink, I don't remember exactly what it was called but it was so refreshing. I also thoroughly enjoyed the taco trio with the steak because it was chocked full of so much steak.
