    What a great new addition to the local dining scene. Located on 104 in Ontario... Just a short drive from Rochester. Delicious home-cooked Puerto Rican food. Super friendly service, generous portions and lots of selections. A medium will easily last two meals or can be split between two people. We sampled the Arroz con gandules, pernile, empanadas, beans with sausage, And brought home a rice pudding and an octopus salad for tomorrow... Can't wait to go back and try it again

    Our son's beautiful girlfriend (hopefully future daughter-in-law; no pressure, son) is of Puerto Rican descent. The two of them discovered this place during a road trip while visiting from Florida, brought some home and recommended we visit someday. Well, today was the day. As we set out for Chimney Bluffs, we knew this was where we going to have our lunch. We arrived right at opening time, so everything was hot and fresh. For the most part, they operate much like one of those Japanese places in the mall food court. You choose between one, two, or three meat combos (small, medium or large) and get a corresponding amount of rice, beans and/or salad. The meat menu constantly changes, so if you have your heart set on something specific, it's best to call and see what's on the menu for the day, especially if you're driving any distance. Today's menu included: Beef Stew, Chicken Encebollao, Oven Roasted Chicken, Pork Stew, and Oven Roasted Pork. Sides of the day: Tostones de pana o plantains, Amarillitos. Certain items are always available like chicken, beef and pizza empanadas. My wife enjoyed the Chicken Encebollao, "Fresh and Yummy!" And Amarillitos, "Delish!" I had the oven roasted chicken, which was so tender and flavorful through and through. The beef stew was likewise perfectly flavored and tender. Rice and beans were fine and on par. I got a little gluttonous and ordered one of each empanadas: chicken, beef and pizza. I am more accustomed to Cuban empanadas in Florida which are small like a ravioli or pierogi. These things are HUGE! More like a calzone. I had a bite of each and saved the rest for a post hike snack.

    I've been passing by this place for quite some time wanting to go in and I finally stopped by. I am so glad I did. From the friendly customer service to the incredible food, this is a 10 out of 10 for me. I had the Puerto Rican trash plate which of all the trash plates I've ever had in upstate New York this is my number one favorite. I got the spicy meat which is not too spicy but wonderfully seasoned. I also of course had to try a beef empanada and a guava and cheese empanada because hey I'm not leaving without those. Guava and cheese empanada was made fresh to order with powdered sugar on top - hot and delicious - I could've eaten 10.Cannot wait to go back. This will be my routine stop when I'm traveling to Rochester.

    The more I think about this meal, the more it reminds me of visiting a friend's home and joining an extended family dinner. I called and ordered ahead and the man who answered could not have been nicer or more helpful. He explained all of the options, sauces, and didn't giggle or pause when I butchered the word "salchichon" while ordering my beans (You should order them). We picked it up 20 minutes later at the drive-thru window. The two pastelillos (empanadas) - one beef and one chicken - were just the right amount of crispy and tender. My wife got a small order of yellow rice, vegetarian beans and the white sauce chicken with peppers. So delicious - and the chicken falls apart in your mouth. I got the medium order of yellow rice, salchichon beans, oven-roasted pork, and a salad with Italian dressing. The salad was just fine, but everything else was absolutely scrumptious. Next time we're getting dessert!

    I have not actually eaten there, but my husband has and he said the food is flavorful and definitely someplace you want to go back to again.

    Huge portions of delicious and authentic food! A medium can easily be shared by 2 but a large will give you leftovers!
