    Steak sandwich.  The pieces of steak were over cooked, dry and pretty much like chewing shoe leather.
    Mike R.

    Unfortunately a very disappointing experience. Steak sandwich may be the worst I've ever had. Barely any meat on it, totally dried out like pieces of leather. The included fries were beyond soggy. Even the rice was bad - tasted like it came out of package and was reheated.

    The pork ribs were overcooked.  Dry as sand.

    The restaurant looks like a dirty cafeteria. Walls are bare and drab. Corners are filthy. Floor doesn't look washed (interestingly the bathroom wasn't too awful). Eating here is depressing. The guy working the cash register, an old man whom I assume is the owner or at least a manager, is supremely unfriendly. Never smiles, never thanks, never makes you feel welcome. Gruff. Unpleasant. The smell around the restaurant is divine, but the food is overcooked. I didn't actively hate the food, but I'd never come here a second time. You DO get a lot of food for your money, but I'd rather not eat than eat here. Rice: B+ The one thing here that actually was pretty good (but if rice is the only good thing on the menu, you're in trouble!) Black Beans: B Not bad. Pork Ribs: C+ Horrendously overcooked. Dry to the point of being barely edible. Nice charring and chargrill flavors, but you have to choke it down, it's so dry. Sausage: B Like the pork ribs, it's overcooked and dry. The only thing that saves the sausage is that it's extremely fatty, so being overcooked can be overlooked. Still, I'd rather eat well-cooked sausage than overcooked sausage. French fries: C+ Soggy and tasteless. Not bad if you throw them into a toaster oven and make them crispy. But the way they come from the kitchen is piss-poor.

    I used to come here a lot back in the day, but I hadn't been here in at least 5 or 6 years. I think management changed, because I didn't see the Portuguese guy that used to work there behind the counter. None the less, the food was still delicious! We ordered the chicken and rib combo with rice and french fries. The portions are large and you can easily feed 4 people with one combo. This place isn't somewhere I would recommend coming on a date though because it's set up as more of a take-out restaurant. The place can definitely use some updating. The staff was very nice and welcoming. By the way, THEY DELIVER!

    The dining area is very small but the food was tasty and overall a very good meal…read more We went for lunch on a Saturday and we got a fish sandwich and a crispy chicken sandwich. Both came with a decent amount of freshly cooked fries. The bread was nicely toasted and the sandwiches were decent sized. The chicken was breaded nicely. It was very moist and not greasy. The fish was not breaded and had excellent flavor. Got it with cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. The green sauce on the side was delicious. We were actually full after half of our sandwiches and half the fries so we got to take home half of each sandwich and pretty much a full side order of fries. It traveled well and our son enjoyed our leftovers. The base sandwiches were only $8.25 each with fries. They do upcharge you for lettuce, cheese, tomatoes or any other toppings but it's only 50 cents per topping. I'm not sure how anyone can complain about $10 to $11 for a huge sandwich with fries in today's market. Whoever is reviewing this place and saying they are pricey hasn't been dining out in the last 20 years. We thought it was a great value and very fresh and flavorful. We were originally going to eat at La Hacienda but they are closed on Saturday and this was right around the corner as we were walking back to our car. They actually have on site parking which is a plus in Perth Amboy. There's nothing fancy about the inside, it's only a few tables but the place was very clean and the staff was very courteous. Definitely recommend and will need to return to try their other menu items.

    Went there for lunch with my family. The food was mediocre, but the service was absolutely…read morehorrible. The waitress had a serious attitude problem and seemed like she didn't want to be there and was taking it out on her patrons
