The pernil tastes like taco meat. Literally tastes like beef. They need to work on seasoning it better.

The food was good ! Love the rice with gandules , but the adobo chicken wasn’t meeting my expectations and I got so much of it . Also, the peppers were raw while the onion was cooked . The atmosphere is great. I wish they had puertorican fruit juices .

I agree with the other reviews saying the food is salty. I had the papa rellenos bites and it was oily and the beef was salty. Not really good. I tried the Birria tacos and that was pretty salty too. I also tried the Pastelon (picture attached) and there was hardly any beef. A tiny thin layer. You get a mouthful of cheese and sweet plantain. Wish it was better! Don’t know if I will try anything else.

I liked the food, very delicious. But another employee would be better. There was only one and the food was delivered super fast but when she served me at the counter it took too long because she was helping the other people who were also sitting.

Mofongo too salty my daughter couldn't eat it, chicken was over cooked and the tostones were re fried terribly hard and hard to chew it hurts my teeth and gum.Tired of this restaurants trying to sell puertorican food and don't know how to cook it. No love to achieve a good meal just focusing in making American dollars.Wish I could give them no stars at all.Don't waste your time and moneyNot woth it

I recently had the opportunity to try the food at this establishment, and I wanted to provide some feedback. While the flavors were enjoyable, I couldn't help but notice that the dishes did not quite match the authenticity of Puerto Rican cuisine. In particular, the relleno de papa lacked the traditional size and balance of ingredients, with an abundance of meat but insufficient potato filling. I understand that it can be challenging to replicate the exact culinary experience of another culture. However, for customers seeking genuine Puerto Rican cuisine, it may be helpful to make adjustments to ensure the dishes are more in line with the traditional flavors and presentation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate the effort you put into your food, and I hope my feedback can contribute to further enhancing the authenticity of your Puerto Rican offerings.

Somebody needs to call the police because these people obviously have their Abuela in the basement putting their foot in this food.This food is so good it makes you want to eat and not stop eating. I had to place the lid on my container because I was about to eat myself sick.The tostones were bussin. The rice, shrimp, pork, and chicken were all seasoned to perfection. Even the vegetables added a level of flavor when eaten alone or together with the meal.I ordered ahead and received my order at the detailed time. The staff were courteous.I can’t speak too much about the atmosphere because I visited around 6pm. They have ample room for eating in the restaurant so grab some friends and head in for some good food!Parking: If you’re picking up an order you can chance looking for street parking. If you’re going to hang out use the parking garage on the same block.Wheelchair accessibility: Unfortunately this location is not wheelchair accessible.

Food was a little cold and bland.I didn’t taste the recaito or cilantro just garlic. It also tastes sweet as if they added sugar to the food. Not impressed.
