And just to be clear, when I say Spanish food, I'm not talking about Mexican food. The pernil was decent. I liked that the meat was tender and had good flavor, but I felt like it could have used a little more seasoning overall. The skin wasn't as crispy as I would have liked, and unfortunately, it kept getting stuck in my teeth. The arroz con gandules was alright--nothing that really stood out. The chicken stew, however, was great! The meat was so tender that it practically fell right off the bone.

There was a little bit of a communication problem when we arrived. The young man at the counter did…read morenot speak English. He did smile a lot though! I thought to make it easier, we would just point to what looked good and he could charge us whatever but after a minute or two, he went to the back kitchen and an older gentleman came out who did speak English. He told us that we had a choice of three rice and a meat selection. So I went with oxtail and he went steak. We both got the yellow rice. You also get a choice of beans on top of the rice. I opted for no beans. I thought the portion size was good (lots of rice). Oxtail was fine but not fall-off-the-bone good. I would have liked more sauce. The steak was also fine and had a distinctive spice which we could not figure out. We ate outside on the picnic table. There is not much seating inside. After finishing our meal, I went to use the restroom. The toilet was not nailed down so when you sit, there is a loud sound as it hits the floor. There was also no toilet paper or paper towels. I guess I could have asked but then I would have to encounter the language issue again. Luckily I had extra napkins in my purse!

The food and the value is unbeatable. We were looking for…read moreplaces to eat after shopping in Woodbury outlets and this was not far from it and still open for another hour after outlet closed at 9 Pm. Place is clean. Each table has ketchup, salt, and pepper. Found parking space no problem in the lot. When we went it was a little past 9 pm. No other customers were there when we went. We were starving. Always a fan of simple menus, in this case, just pick the size of plate: small $6, medium $8, large $12. I got the small which looked like a decent portion already, and then got rice, beans (black or brown), and a meat (stewed chicken, stewed beef, shredded pork, or stewed pork). I liked that the lady who helped us, I assume is the daughter, was helpful when I couldn't decide what meat I wanted. On reviews I've heard good things about the shredded pork, she told me that since it's end of the night, it's a little dry. Appreciate the honest girl! Got the chicken stew and was happy with it. The thighs were whole and tasty, not dry at all. I tried husband's beef stew which was also very good, probably liked it better. We were pretty content and full after the small size takeout platter. And for just $6! Definitely coming back here again next time I'm done shopping at Woodbury!

The inside of the restaurant is decently sized, clean, and even has a space where you can host a DJ, which is a nice touch. There was a slight language barrier, but it wasn't a big issue. I waited about 5-10 minutes for my to-go order since the hostess/server was the only one working outside of the kitchen staff. I ordered the MOFONGO MIXTO (Mixed Mofongo), which is crispy green plantains mashed with garlic and olive oil, paired with chicharrón, chicken, or cheese. It was solid--rich, tasty, and especially delicious with the salsa blanco, which was creamy and garlicky. That sauce was a first for me, and I loved it! While I've had mofongo that included rice and beans elsewhere, this version stood on its own nicely. A couple of notes: parking is a bit challenging, and I'd recommend placing your order through an app to help navigate any potential language barriers. Overall, a good experience, and I'd definitely give it another shot!
