The Empanada de Rabo y Queso / Cheese & Oxtail Empanadas were super delicious just wished for the price there was more fillings especially when the Empanada Carne, Queso y Pique/ Beef&Spicy Cheese was just as good and was filled to brim. Will order again super fresh and flavorful and that sauce chefs kiss

The food had good flavor, but the order was let down by missing items and small portions for the price. The Pernil Pernil/ Roast Pork ($23) completely lacked the included salad, and the sweet plantains SD Maduros/ Sweet Plantains were a very skimpy portion. The extra chicken soup SD Extra Caldo de Pollo/ Extra Chicken Soup was also missing standard ingredients like potatoes, vegetables, and shredded chicken. I’ve enjoyed ordering from here in the past, but the quality control and value on this visit were disappointing.

Tasted freshly cooked and full of flavor, you can taste all the ingredients and the best part is it was so good that I thought about ordering it after I finish my first best fried chicken I've ever had too
When it comes to the rice and beans, it was definitely flavorful and with how delicious it was, you could tell it was cooked. These people definitely put soul in their cooking, and I was gladly purchased from them every day of the year.

7/10. Im not a huge plantain person but was encouraged to try again so I did. This restaurant did very well with convincing me that they're not that bad. The food was lovely, flavorful. I would've liked more beef than plantain in the dish, however, it was still pretty good. The rice was cooked perfectly. Huge portion. The salad was fresh and tasted divine.

the Spaghetti in alfredo sauce with Shrimps is absolutely to die for. They are not stingy with the sauce, ECT. the shrimp was not over cooked, it was juicy and delicious. made with love, would get this over and over again without a second thought.
