THIS PLACE RIGHT HERE!!!!! Best Puerto Rican food ever!!!…read more When you go in there, there may be a long line, but it's worth the wait! The food is fresh and delicious. I've been coming here for years and I always brag about this place. I don't care how long is the drive but I'm always there! The place is so clean inside the staff is Amazing the owner she's great and respectful! If I could give this review more than five stars I would, literally top three restaurants in Connecticut

It's a tiny take out/pick up only spot with some tables outside in front of the small building. The portions are off good size but in my opinion, the quality is lacking. They've always been nice at the window upon ordering with no issues there. The turnaround to receive your food has been pretty quick. But for me the food is bland and lacking. I do wish I liked it more because the amount of food you get for the price is a plus with their portion sizes. I know that's more important for a lot of people. Hey, the food isn't bad. I'm sure it fills a void for plenty of people out on the go, but it's would prefer better quality with less of their portion size to offset it. Thank you thank you though. Take it for what is worth for you.

I've had a frustratingly inconsistent experience at this bakery. The menu simply lists "cheese" on…read morecertain sandwiches, without specifying what kind--no mention of yellow or white cheese. However, depending on the day (or who's working), I've been given completely different answers when asking for white cheese. Some visits, they've added white cheese without any issue. Other times, I've been told they "can't deviate from the menu." That would make sense if the menu actually specified a type of cheese--but it doesn't. If the menu is meant to be strict, then it should be clear and consistent. I'm not asking for a custom creation--just clarity and consistency. Either specify the type of cheese on the menu or allow a reasonable choice if it's not defined. Right now, it feels arbitrary, and that makes the experience disappointing.

(Being in the industry, I know there are always links, even w/ the best) The good- super friendly, large space, clean and big menu. The sampler platter was ok... corn fritter was a song.. The bad- I ordered take out via phone, was told 30 min. I showed up in 30 to find out they never put my order in. They offered me a beverage on the house which is great, but still sucks that I had to wait another 30 min. The ugly. The Cuban is not a Cuban, it was served on a plantain instead of bread, which had this been written on the menu, I would have skipped it. There was also no mustard on it. Thankfully I had some mustard and I removed the plantain to eat with a knife and fork. The other sandwich said it was chicken w/ sweet plantain, lettuce and tomato. It was very under-seasoned and again on plantains.. not a sandwich w/plantains. The fries were soggy at best. I really wanted to like this but I think they need to work out the rest of their issues. I would consider trying entrees but disappointed in tonight's selections

Went here on a Saturday for date night with my husband. I was skeptical prior to arriving because I…read morelooked at the reviews, but I'm happy we didn't listen and decided to try for ourselves. When we were arrived we were immediately greeted & decided to sit at the bar. The bartenders were friendly and attentive even though there were several large parties in the dining room. The restaurant is very spacious and beautifully decorated. They played Latin music in the background and even had a DJ with salsa lessons that started around 9:30pm. For food we ordered bacalaitos for the appetizer, they were smaller than traditional bacalaitos, but it was perfect for a starter & was surprisingly not too greasy. I had the Costilla de Res (short ribs) & risotto. The short ribs were very tender, falling off the bone, & full of flavor. The risotto was so smooth and cheesy it was delicious. My husband ordered the Mofongo with bistec encebollado. He said it was flavorful & the meat was tender. Overall there was great service, the vibes were on point, the food was delicious, & the drinks were great too. Only downside, I wish they were located closer to me lol. But we will definitely be back again. I'm really hoping they stay around for the long haul. I've always said CT needs their own "Don Coqui" just like NYC... & I'm really hoping this is it!

A beautiful night under the stars ! The welcome host was sweet and even was able to let me sit inside ( after I had originally reserved outdoor seating ) even Our waitress was super sweet she came quickly got our drink and food orders , told us the specials and made sure we had everything we needed . To start we ordered the genie wish and the royal rose served over dry ice ! Presentation on point .. however the drink itself was okay . The house bread was really good super soft and fresh. While we aired for our entrees we explore all the restaurant looking at all the decor ( 10/10 ) and went to the rooftop where it was mamma Mia themed and one of the waitress was so nice and took a picture of us with the decor ! For my entree I got the chicken parm , the portions were large , and the food was good in my opinion ( not the best I've had but definitely not the worst ) What I loved the most was for desert the server came over with a whole tray of deserts and we can choose which to order ! Which was great ! We chose the amaretto cheesecake and it was amazing!! And normally I don't like cheesecake but this was sooo delicious!!! Highly recommend And to finish it off they offered a small Dubai chocolate shot to end the night ! Which was the perfect way to end the night ! Overall 5/5 this is the place to go if your looking for beautiful ambiance , a fun night out , service was fantastic and food was good ( a little pricey but worth it for everything you are getting in my opinion ) 100% I will be back for the fall decor !!! Can't wait
