we ordered two empanadas: Beef with Cheese and Ropa Vieja and the Pernil platter. We live across town but the food still came hot and delicious. very fresh, very authentic, very delicious. I can't even remember the last time I had authentic Puerto Rican take out this good. the Pernil was soft and juicy. the empanadas were full of meat and so tender and juicy. the portion of the platter was decent. my husband and I shared and didn't leave a single crumb behind.

empanadas were the best part. none of this food tastes like puerto rican food at all, way to much garlic used in all dishes. beans tastes just like tomato sauce no sazon or sofrito. for the price it's not worth even to try, almost $20 each dish and barely any meat.

My boyfriend and I ordered from here and were honestly really disappointed. He ordered the steak platter but it was extremely bland, didn’t taste fresh, and had an off smell that made us uncomfortable to even eat it. I ordered the pernil platter and while the portion looked promising at first, it was overall flavorless/fatty.
The rice tasted stale, and for spending around $60, we expected much better quality and flavor. The only things we genuinely enjoyed were the beans and empanadas — those were actually really good. We hate leaving negative review, but it was frustrating to spend that much and not even be able to eat most of the main meal.

Some of the most authentic puerto rican food you will find in jersey, everything was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked, good sized portions, and you can tell it's freshly made. Second time ordering, will absolutely be back in the future
