I…read moreordered a large pernil, thinking I was getting a large plate, with rice and beans, and another side. However, they proceeded to fill-up a large plate, which they weighed by the pound. I actually had to tell them to remove half, but like the concept of paying by pound for a protein. The pernil was excellent. I ordered a small salad, which came in a coffee cup. It was over drenched with dressing. I also ordered a small rice and beans, which never made it into my bag. I will definitely return with a better game plan.

One of the things I love about New York, you can literally eat your way around the world. I was…read morelooking for a Cuban restaurant, because I wanted a good Cubano, and instead, I found this place, which is food from across Latin America. They had the Cubano, but they had so many other things, I decided to go for something different. It is a nice space, with Latin music playing loud and proud. They have parking behind the restaurant, but it is shared with the other businesses in the small shopping center that the restaurant is in. Parking may be tricky. The food is on a cafeteria line, you just tell them what you want. It was Sunday, so I wanted to try the goat. Unfortunately, they were sold out. Instead, I decided to go for the chicken stew. For my sides, I decided to go for the rice and pigeon, peas, and the yellow plantains. Dear lord, I couldn't believe the size of the plate that she handed me. The chicken was bone in, but it was so tender and juicy, it was literally falling right off the bone. It was seasoned well and had an amazing flavor. I loved the rice, and the pigeon peas kind of reminded me of Black Eyed Peas. I liked the nutty flavor. The plantains were done very well. I love plantains, they reminded me of a banana, only a little bit less sweet. I had enough food for two full meals, and each of them left me stuffed. For all of this amazing food, and a soda, it was only $16 and a few cents, plus tip. I want to come back and try more things. Thank you very much....

The total came around $30, a very fair price considering generous portion and absolutely delicious food all lovingly made on site. Also there happened to be a birthday party when we went (I think she was a family member of the owner) and one of the family members offered us to take home a slice of cake! It was such a sweet surprise and my bf and I were both charmed by their kind gesture. We very much felt welcomed, as if we were their own family, even though it was clear that we were not from the neighborhood.
