"I worke in the same area for some time, but I was not aware that they have serveral coked food ready to order. The food was good, the price was good to considering the area(it a little hard to find latin food around here and in an affordable price). The place was clean and the staff was really friendly and fast. Highly recommend to dine in or for some of us that work in the area."

"The mofongo here is amazing and delicious. It was sk good. It reminded me of the mofongo that I had in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. The portions are large enough for 2 people. The plantains are sweet, the Maduros are crispy, and the meat is flavorful. The broth is also delicious. The atmosphere puts you back in the country, with the establishment being bright and clean with upbeat music playing in the background, and the service is impeccable. I would definitely recommend this establishment if you want some Authentic Puerto Rican food 🇵🇷 . It was not too busy when we visited but I can see this place becoming very popular in the future. Do not miss out on this place. You might regret it!"
Cute To Death
"Food was exceptional. Prices were a little too pricy in my opinion. Alcapurrias were delicious though but for $4 each, they were a little small. The shrimp that came with the mofongo was really good too. Servings were decent, enough to have not finished my entire plate. The restaurant is really cute as well, just needs a little more life & better servers. Went in at about 8PM and they still had a decent amount of food out still and also made almost my entire order fresh. Out of 10, i’d rate it a solid 7."
