Tata’s is true authentic Puerto Rican food.Mi gente! The owner and staff are very friendly. If you are not familiar with Caribbean food please let Tata’s be your introduction! You will love it!!!!

Had a mixed experience. The empanadas were good but the other appetizer was a fried mashed potato ball with beef and cheese in the middle. The outside was cooked but the inside was still cold. The bartender was very nice though so that was a plus.
