For appetizers we ordered Brussels sprouts with chorizo, steak skewers with yuca, mixed ceviche with tortilla chips, and street corn.

Everything came out from both from the kitchen and bar very promptly. Everything tasted great as always cooked to perfection. The ambiance is very vibrant and tropical. This is one of the very few restaurants I like to revisit as it is very well rounded.

We ordered Cuban sandwiches and food to go. The rice & beans & chicken plate was good. Lots of flavor. The toasted bread for the Cuban sandwiches was great. I am disappointed that each sandwich only contained one piece of ham, one piece of cheese. one tomato halved, and a very small amount of thinly sliced pernil. They were dry. There was no mustard or pickles on the sandwich which would classify it as a Cuban to me. I asked for these condiments & got ketchup & mustard packets. Before we started eating there was a bottle of hot sauce on our table but for some reason it was taken away when the drinks were brought out. Next time I'll order the mofongo & hopefully they're not as light on the filling with that.

My…read moredaughter requested it specifically for their papa de relleno aka "potato balls" After all the years I've lived around Bridgeport, I never stopped in, until now, because it looks a bit trashy. There's no dine-in area. The lighting is dark in a gloomy way. The ambiance is overall sad. We decided to try their baked whole chicken, yellow rice & beans, and platano maduros (sweet plantain). The potato ball looked crispy but it was actually pretty soft. I felt like it could have been meatier with more flavor, I had better. I don't know why this was hyped up. When I opened the container and saw only 5 pieces of plátanos, I thought it was a joke. Never have I been served such a small portion. The rice was a bit mushy, surprisingly coming from a Puerto Rican spot in this area. Even the chicken was kinda weird. I don't care if my daughter asks for this again, I'm not coming back!

Tonight is my first Yelp review of 2025, believe it or not! Holidays were expensive, and the New…read moreYear's holiday in particular tends to bombard me with bills, so money's been real tight. Anywho, this is a place I have been meaning to go to after I had seen this on my Activity Feed, thinking I had recognized where this was. It turned out not to be, but it was on the cusp of a route I used to walk whenever I would wait for my train back to Waterbury. For the exact place I had recognized from my walks, that was actually the El Coquito restaurant down the street at 510. So back to this place, and yeah, I did NOT have high hopes for this takeout joint! I will say that this is a cheap place to get food as my bill came out to $14.84 for a decent amount of food. This harkens back to the Jamaican food joint over in Norwalk I had reviewed a few months back. Employee was fine too, nothing to complain about. I mostly needed her to explain what everything was before I could order. Now the ambiance of the place and how it looks going inside leaves a lot to be desired. From the outside, it looks a bit run-down and one could easily write this off as a closed establishment. I actually had to peep into another window they had to confirm whether or not it was actually open. Also, you don't really see a menu for what this has, so you do need to communicate with the employees to make sure you know what you're ordering before you get it. This made ordering my food a challenge. I ended up getting the pork and chicken kebab things and then these beef and cheese hot dogs wrapped around in a pastry. I also got some white rice to go along with it because I needed to know if maybe their rice was better than what I had over at that aforementioned Norwalk joint. The hot dogs were actually decent. The snap could have been better, but you can definitely taste that you are eating a hot dog with cheese, albeit the cheese might be a bit harder to detect. As for the kebabs, I had seen mine get reheated in a microwave, so if that's not your thing, this place ain't for you. Then again, it was quite cold outside, so maybe that evens it out? I don't know, but what I DO know is that neither one was really that good. The pork one was better, but that didn't say much. The barbecue sauce on the pork did have a bit of a kick to it, but other than that it was a slight bit bland. As for the chicken, it was dry, and the sauce managed to be even more tasteless! Didn't even have the slight kick of the pork ones. I would probably rate this a 2.5, but unless the white rice is good I can't see myself giving this a 3. Two Hours Later... Now that I have gotten my taste of the white rice, it is time to finish the review! So this time around, I have found the rice to actually be edible here! There is a bit of a salty finish to it, but I can live with that. I tend to find that white rice plays just fine in its barest form. It's what can be added on it that can ruin the rice, so it was nice to have it separate from everything else. A 2.5 is really what this should get, and that's what I would give it if half-stars were a thing. As it stands, I would agree with your rating if you were to give it a 2 or a 3 because it really can go either way from there. EDIT: Upon further review of the white rice, I've been thinking about my rating here. Maybe keeping this at 2 stars was a bit harsh on my end. It's definitely still more of a 2 and a half, but I do feel like everything considered it was good enough to skate by with a 3, so I am updating my rating as such. It's still kind old a war between the two ratings though, so maybe I need to try some different things from here before a winner emerges.

Warm, clean and casual place away from the traffic and hustle of downtown. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. We ordered 3 empanadas to start: chicken, beef, and the El Pueblito, beans, rice, sweet plantains, pork rind. All were good, but really loved the El Puebilto. Coarse corn meal coating really accentuated all of the delicious fusion of flavors within. Super. 2 simple salads of iceberg lettuce, onions, shredded carrots started off the feast. Perfect. Next up was the Bandejita Vegetariana: rice, beans, 2 eggs, sweet fried plantains, avocado and corn cake. I was missing avocado, but did not even realize until later as this is a filling meal! Rice cooked perfectly, beans had nice flavor. My dining partner had a pork cutlet, beans, rice, sweet plantains, salad. Loved the seasoning and crunchiness of the cutlet. Generous portions at most reasonable prices. Relaxed, inviting restaurant which I recommend trying.
