Food was awesome. My people know exactly what to do enhancing flavor with the right amount of spices
Overall giving this place a 4/5! It's hard to find good Puerto Rican food so was really happy to see one and the menu looked good!! The pork was really flavorful and the rice was wonderful too. Really large portions which I can't be mad about lol. Loveeeee the tostones, some of the best I ever had and the creama dip was the icing on the cake. I had to take off 1 star because unfortunately my Habichuelas were missing....like there was rarely any beans in the bowl :( which makes me sad because I loveeeee them so much. Note - i ordered from Uber eats and did not visit the restaurant in person.
Jibarito and lechón asado is legit tasty. Large portions for the price. Take out only so plan ahead!
This is a family favorite of one of my Puerto Rican friends and I see why! Fresh, hot, flavorful food with warm and hospitable customer service. Will definitely be back!
Our friends ordered for delivery last night and OMG! IT WAS SO SO GOOD! I typically have my doubts about ghost kitchens. But this one didn't disappoint. My fave was the steak jibarito. The steak was perfect! We also ordered a pollo guisado. I loved the rice (arroz con gandules) that came with it. And of course we ordered tostones and maduros too. There were a couple other things that were ordered but I can't recall at the moment. We will be ordering again. And again.
