I've spent a lot of time in the island so I love Puerto Rican food and this is the only Puerto Rican place I've ever seen in Santa Cruz. So it gets the benefit of hitting some cravings I couldn't find elsewhere.
The empanadillas are spot on. You'd find these on a food stall on the side of the road on the island. The carne frita is also on point. Flavored extremely well.
Only two small critiques are the tostones were a little either too thick or under fried due to the softness in the middle. And the mayo-ketchup is a little over balanced on the ketchup side in my opinion.
All in all this is a great place! Good portions. Flavorful seasoning, and items I have never seen in Santa Cruz before! I'll for sure be taste testing the whole menu!

I was happy about the portion sizes and wanted a taste of home. Food was hot and everything tasted great!
