Went to the place as a casual lunch spot just as they opened for the day. Very good, freshly made food. Had their freshly fried chicharon, rice with pulled pork and beans platter, and honey (insert tropical fruit) habenero wings. All items hit the spot, especially the seasoned rice! Perfectly seasoned, not salty and paired well with the “jous” of the pulled pork and beans. Family owned restaurant with the owners giving goodadvuce what to try as a first timer. Will spread the word and will come back again.

I called to place a catering order last minute.
They were able to fill my last minute order and when I called to ask to have it earlier than I originally asked there was no hesitation when the young lady cook replied with a yes. When I came EARLY I had to call for her to meet me at the door with the food and she attempted to carry it to my car for me. My work friends continuously told me how delicious the pulled pork was and they all asked where did I get it from! So if you are in Hamden and want Spanish food come here! They won’t disappoint.

This family- and friend-owned restaurant is truly a gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with kindness and amazing customer service that makes you feel right at home. The staff is attentive, friendly, and you can tell they truly care about their customers.
The food is absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. Every dish is seasoned perfectly and served hot, and the portions are generous. You can taste the pride they put into their cooking.
If you’re looking for great food, warm service, and a place that treats you like family, this is definitely the spot. Highly recommended! May the Lord continue to bless this family and their service for the community.

Problem if they run out of something they’ll give you whatever they want .If you do take out check your order before you leave please or you’ll be surprised once you get home .Manager offered a $5.00 coupon and I spent over $100.00 no class.I gave more than that in the tip jar.
