    Chicken & Rice
    Simone E.

    After seeing this many times from my co workers, i finally got to Rice and Beans. My co worker got it for me as takeout (so I can't rate the inside/service), so this is just strictly based on the food. The container was packed and very neatly packaged. The chicken is just as flavorful as it looks, however the rice and the beans didn't match. It lacked the authenticity that I was looking for, but the chicken carried the meal! I will be getting chicken from here again yes, if it's sold alone.

    Ok ok, my first time having Monfongo and it won't be my last time. The food from this place is good. The only downside was the salad it wasn't good .maybe because I didn't have dressing but it wasn't good. The monfingo was good I should have asked for some garlic but it was good.

    Pepper steak, yellow rice, beans, and two little plantains somewhere on here.
    Niyokei W.

    I'm genuinely pissed off I just paid 14 dollars for a tray of mostly rice, literally 2 plantains, and some beans. I swear a small platter didn't cost me that last week unless pepper steak is more than beef stew. I did say beef stew which they didn't have right now. Im mad that I said beef stew ahead and she didn't say anything until after my tray was full. I decided to take her suggestion for peppersteak... I still high key want my 14 dollars back though because 14? The pepper steak is very tough and not at all like beef stew in anyway, simple not for me personally.. I am very upset. Anyway, the portions sizes are pretty good aside. The location is conveniently close to the train station and work lunch. I'd give 5/10 on taste overall. Maybe they are just not for me. Edit. After attempting to eat the food, I only got more upset. This was my 3rd time here and my absolute last. Now both me and my tummy are annoyed.

    Delicious pernil and rice and beans . They even give you the skin. Definitely well flavored and an affordable spot in the area. Heard the chicken was really good and def something will try next time. Quick and easy pick me up lunch spot.

We didn't have a reservation, but we went the day after a snow storm so it was pretty quiet. At first we were the only customers, but they slowly filled up during our meal. I would describe the inside as 'rustic cute'. It feels very cozy with the exposed brick, wooden tables, and soft lighting. For food we each did the Prix Fixe which lets you choose an appetizer, entree, and dessert. For appetizers we got the Chileatole and the Anticuchos. For entrees I got the Grass-Fed Skirt Steak and my boyfriend got the Pato en Mole Poblano. For dessert we both got the Bread Pudding. I thought the Prix Fixe was a good deal for the quantity and quality of food. Everything was prepared fresh and tasted delicious. Favorite bites were the Chileatole soup and the Skirt Steak. Our server was super friendly and approachable. Overall it was a really good experience and I would definitely return the next time I'm visiting the area.

    Ordered from here on a whim and I'm beyond happy I did!…read more What a flavor bomb every bite was. Wow. Ordered the rotisserie chicken with garlic sauce and got it with yellow rice and tostones. (9 out of 10) Also tried the empanada sampler which came with four empanadas of my choosing and tried the Beef, shrimp, chicken, and birria. (8 out of 10) I mean this sincerely... everything was beyond flavorful. The rotisserie garlic chicken had to be my favorite bite of the night but each empanada included in the sampler was crispy, tender, and decadent; each one leaving its own individual mark. Seriously blown away and might even had to stop in to try the food at the restaurant next time. Can't wait to see order from here again!

    Service: Good. Got checked on regularly by friendly staff:…read more Ambiance: loud, colorful, probably a good fit for a loud drunk brunch vibe. A lot of seating and a back area with fans. Food: This place is quite bad. We ordered the tortilla soup and the vegan tofu chimichurri. The tortilla soup was inedible it was so salty. The tofu was grilled and entirely burnt on the bottom. I had to slice the entire bottom off. The chimichurri sauce was flavorful. The yellow rice side seemed like bagged instant rice. The maduros were good. Did not try the alcohol but they had a large selection including non alcoholic options. The place adds a 20% auto gratuity fee. Kind of absurd on a 2 person check. I am Latina so perhaps I have a higher expectation for Latin food but I'm perplexed at how this place could have such high ratings, perhaps it was just a bad night. I would never go back and would not recommend.

There are only a handful of tables, but we were still able to find a spot easily (we went around 2pm). We ordered Cuban sandwiches and guava pastelitos. I hadn't had a Cuban sandwich in years, and these absolutely did not disappoint. The sandwiches had the perfect balance of bread, meat, cheese, and sauce. They were rich and flavorful without being greasy or dry. They also came with plantain chips and a garlic sauce on the side, which was a nice touch. I also really enjoyed the guava pastry.

I ordered the below and enjoyed it all: -Chicken Plate: very satisfying -Pork Sandwich (a little oily, but would order again) -Empanadas: favorite was ham & cheese. The guava one was ok - a bit rich and leans more heavily cheese.

Their menu is diverse and creative and honestly took quite a while to read through because everything sounded amazing. From soups to ceviches, there's a little bit of everything here. I ordered the crispy oysters with spicy tuna, avocado mousse, and totiko ($26). The plating was absolutely stunning and the flavor profiles were incredible together. My only wish is that there were more. I figure that perhaps that's my fault, because ceviches are usually smaller plates, but it didn't fill me up as a full meal, but it was still a delightful culinary experience that anyone would be lucky to have.

Finally, we received our sliders, and they were just amazing, as always. We all loved them! They are a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. Once I received my main dish, I took a bite, and to be honest, I wasn't wowed by the taste. Now, it wasn't bad by any means, but it was just okay. Additionally, the fries I received with my order were cold. I also want to note that their servings are HUGE, which is a great thing! P.S I also requested on the app if we can have someone sing Happy Birthday, (or have someone come out with a dessert with candles), but the request wasn't fulfilled. Anyways, they've always done a fantastic job with the service and food.
