We must have looked malnourished or our puppy dog pulled on her heart strings cause she then said "what would you like?" and in starving teenage boy fashion we ordered just about everything on the menu.. GLUTTONY one of the seven deadly sin. Don't judge... after about 10-15 mins she came back to the door with several bags of food.. when we got home the after a 40 min ride home indulging in the glorious smell of food. ( like Remy the rat in Disney's Ratatouille movie) the joy we had engulfing this food along with our sons.. needless to say the food was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! My youngest son 14yo ATE the cabbage.. without a single thought of trying to get out of eating his veggies.. now that's impressive or my cooking ia bad.. again, don't judge.. It's not bad. Please try this place you won't be disappointed...

Oh yes, the beans were fantastic as well. Real pride of cuisine there. I was so embarrassed, they gave me such a full entree plate of delicious chicken and garlic, I couldn't finish it all and was traveling so I couldn't take a to-go box. So I went back the next day and finished all my chicken fingers. Almost all Spanish spoken, but they accommodate English speakers just fine.

I tried this place because Matt Shearer was raving about the rice and beans. The mini pastelitos sampler came with chicken, beef and cheese with a dipping sauce. The chicken felt pretty dry and not much flavor. My favorite is the cheese and the beef which were both satisfying. Ordered the pechuga a la parrilla with rice and beans. The char grilled chicken is well season and the overall portion is great. The rice and beans unfortunately tasted just average, I don't agree with Matt Shearer. Overall a good experience for the value.

It would have been better they called to order something else/refund the difference of the Lonche de Cerdo Guisado/Sauteed Pork Lunch I resorted to instead. Nonetheless, the rice was flavorful but pork was a little dry. The salad that she was hesitant about giving was very refreshing given how well seasoned everything else is. Beans were yummy and the Yaroa had significantly cooled down since that was prepared much earlier. The "secret" sauce is a drizzle of ketchup and mayonnaise crossed over. Overall, food was good so I would be interested in coming again to try more items from their menu.

I would get two large Styrofoam containers filled with rice and beans, pastelitos, some potato ball with cheese in the middle (starch and dairy, my two loves), and a barbeque type chicken which is extremely tender and falls off the bone. All of those delicious nom nom's for like six bucks max! If you aren't from lynn or an area similar to it, you might feel a bit uncomfortable because of it's location and the language barrier, but the food is really good and you get your money's worth. There isn't much room to sit. just about 8 stools with a little bar type area, mainly people will order to go.

This was one of the worst food experiences I've ever had. The food was clearly not fresh. The beans…read moresmelled absolutely awful and had bubbles, which is a huge red flag. The meat smelled rotten, not just "off," but genuinely spoiled. I called the next day to give feedback, and instead of listening or apologizing, the woman I spoke with was extremely defensive and tried to blame me. She said the food went bad because I "took too long to pick it up." That explanation makes absolutely no sense. I was born in Haiti, I grew up around freshly cooked Caribbean food, and I have never seen properly made food spoil in an hour and a half just from sitting. To make matters worse, I ordered a pâté, and the gentleman literally microwaved it and handed it back to me. It was not fresh at all. What's really disappointing is that I used to order from here and had better experiences in the past, but clearly the quality has gone downhill. Between spoiled food, reheated items, and defensive customer service, I would not recommend this place to anyone. Food safety should never be this questionable.
