It's no surprise that their rotisserie chicken has been labeled "the best in the Poconos." All dishes are made from scratch and reasonably priced. Menu Highlights~ Tender, roasted pork with yellow rice and beans is a cultural staple that is a popular item. Fried pork chops, grilled tilapia, and stew chicken are available in combo meals that include rice, beans, salad, and drinks. The traditional soup known as Sancocho is so good you need to taste it My favorite is some kind of steak sitting in just a brown sauce made in a miracle of seasoning, served over whit rice. You'll be in heaven eating this dish

The food was so good we felt homesick for CR again. We ordered the Cena Tipica Hondureña (traditional meal). The steak was obviously marinated because the flavors of that, plus the chargrilling effect, was delicious! Especially loved those creamy refried beans they're famous for in Central America. Also ordered 2 pupusas (a favorite). We're taking home an order of churros and a piece of Tres Leches. I confess the biggest surprise was how fast the service was. As they're so new, I really expected very slow service but we did not wait more than 5 minutes! I must say that the ambiance is very much for take-out but we decided to eat in and it did not take away from the flavor. HIGHLY recommend this place if you want very authentic Central American cuisine.

For my first time visiting this new restaurant I went with the Chicken Taco Platter which is served with customer's choice of Rice and Beans. I opted for Refried Beans with White Rice which both went very well with my fully loaded Chicken Street Tacos. And with a slight addition of some of their Authentic Hot Sauces I was definitely in my happy place. At least until I finished my meal and then it was right back to reality, and the daily grind.   But that's totally cool because I can always come back and try something else off this amazingly delicious looking menu and return to my food coma happy place once more.

They're knowledgeable about the many items on the menu and kept our waters and chips topped up throughout the meal. The actual food wasn't as great. I tried some barbacoa street tacos and some fried fish tacos. Everything was fresh and well cooked but lacking in flavor - each dish could be seasoned a bit more. I'm hopeful for the restaurant, and I may try it again if they try new recipes or something different to season their food.

There are also some sides available. I always got oxtail. It's good, but a bit pricey for the amount of meat you get. Others have ordered the pepper steak before and the portions for that are great. The rice is definitely on the salty side, but is good overall. I do appreciate that the lady working there is always generous with pouring extra sauce on our rice as well.

Whether it's the lunch special or a regular meal they give u two tiny pieces of chicken or very few pieces of meat. It is really a joke. Every Spanish place I know of gives you so much rice and a huge piece of chicken or meat. And the lady who is in there during lunch has an attitude and no personality. This place is not worth it and I won't be coming back again. I just paid $17 dollars and got a small platter with rice and beans and she was super cheap on the beans and the pepper steak I got was like three pieces in the tray. I paid for all rice. Do not come here. I would recommend against it unless you like wasting your money.

I finally decided to put it to bed and check back in. Still no clear way to know what you're getting or how much you'll pay. But I can now help - What they call a "buffet" is really just the trays where you pick what you want to load on your plate. A buffet with meat and 1 side is $7.99. Add a dollar for each additional side. Add a few dollars if you want two meats or double meat. So with that pricing in mind, you can mix and match what you'd like. And it's still a great value. I don't know what tasted stale last time, but the two I had this time - the stewed chicken and their sausage - were both great. The sausage carried a little bit of heat to it, and they threw in hot sauces for the chicken (they asked!). I had yuca fries and they were wonderful as I let them marinate in the stew. So update: This is now added to my Boonton rotation. I'm glad I gave them a second try.
