“We celebrated our marriage here. A small party of 22 people. Everything was perfect. The owner and servers were great to work with. The food is always excellent. Try the ostras con mofongo!

Update 8-31-25: We came back for our anniversary. We enjoyed the chaufa, house salad, steak skewers with yucca, saffron vegetable rice, and the fried plantains. They remembered us from last year and wrote happy anniversary on our dessert plates (tres leches cake and the churros). It was special and delicious as always.“

“Im a dining service director from new Hampshire but the company i worked for has kitchens in CT drove Monday for a 2 day trip Tuesday call my gf at home ask her do you want pizza she said sure.
So I call order 2 large pie cheese 1 medium pie pepperoni.
My order got confused and I got all pepperoni and the chef told me im sorry made a mistake I will make you a cheese free of charge and I said no need too.
A good chef admit mistake and take care of a costumer but I will say this was the best pizza that I had in my life omg I was driving 95 eating yum pie.
Got home gf N grandkids were swimming in the pool waiting they loved the pizza and they said can we go and get more.
I just want to say ty for making my family afternoon great and ty for a great pie of pizza God bless your business.“

“I have been coming here for over five years. Date night My son’s 16 bday Breakfast 👩‍🍳 😘“

“We were in the neighborhood and the delicious smell coming from this place caught our attention. We stopped in and had a wonderful experience. For starters we had an empanada made from plantain, it was very good, made better with a sauce they gave us. Next we shared a plate called Picada which was various types of fried meats which was excellent. It contained pork, chicken, beef and a type of sausage. It was served with tostones (fried green plantains). The serving was huge. We loved most of it, except for the beef, personally I like it more rare and it was over done. The restaurant has an extensive menu with breakfast, lunch and dinner options. When you enter don’t be surprise if it looks like a corner store, they do have tables set up to eat in or takeout.“

“Omg!!! Absolutely wonderful!!! I was so nervous because 1- I’m not from Connecticut so I had no idea where to cater from and 2- I’ve never catered before (I always do my own cooking), I was not disappointed!!! Everyone raved how good everything was. Yezzy was wonderful to work with and delivery was exceptional😄Everything was beyond my expectations!“

“good food and friendly staff...“

“I go here often and get the shrimp fried rice but I hate that they never remember me when I go. Can't be that many black women going in that establishment. I spend a lot of money here, so that part is disheartening. Also, they don't speak English well, so that gets frustrating as well & they over price for alcoholic “
