Ordered seafood and the quality was horrible, never in my life I have experienced rotten lobster, I’m glad the service is good however the food itself needs work. On a weekend everything is expected to be fresh, no excuses.

Food is terrible asked for mofongo with chicken and what I got was two pieces of grilled chicken with a mound of hard plantains on the side with what I think was cilantro inside the plantain and salad. First off if you have ever eaten, Mofongo, you know that the chicken, the shrimp the pork or the steak comes inside of the Mofongo and it is usually diced inside of it not two pieces of grilled chicken on the side of the Mofongo and then you have to cut and mix it together

Great spot! I really enjoyed the oxtail empanadas. Yellow rice was the best I've had in the area. Music, decor and service is great. They just desperately need to figure out the menu situation. They handed us a very small booklet and items had little description. Hidden within menu items were other dishes we would have ordered separately. The menu on the TV is entirely different, and only a handful of seats in the restaurant can see it. Please re-print your menus, which include all items, English, and ingredient descriptions. We would love to come back but found it very hard to order. Our server was attentive and they made the outside look very nice. Great spot if you're going to a game across the street.

Food was amazing! Appetizers were so good and came out so fast. Steaks cooked perfectly- so tender and flavorful. They recommended and offered green sauces and a chimichurri/pico-de-gallo relish for the food as well.

We also ordered wine which they didn’t have, but they recommended another at a similar price point. Great selection.

The food was so fun, fresh, and immensely flavorful. The staff was so friendly and eager to really make the experience great for us. I would 100% recommend checking this place out.

Absolutely DELICIOUS food but they are allll over the place. There are 3 menus to look at and then there’s the tv screen by the hot food. You think you know all they have to offer and then you find another menu somewhere with even more things. I love their breakfast sandwich and have gotten it twice. Told my boyfriend about it, so he went in today for one and they didn’t even know what he was talking about 🤦🏻‍♀️ Tip: Get rid of all your menus and redo it… Condense the menu, organize it more into ONE menu, and get your staff all on the same page because they don’t even know what you have and don’t have… and this will be the PERFECT spot!
(Sushi is delicious too and the ribeye sandwich is my boyfriend’s fav)

Over priced and small portions. It’s alright. Over hyped on Instagram. cute set up. Dominican breakfast is good. Red Beans are mid at best not traditional Dominican beans. Maduros aren’t sweet. . $110 dollars for a steak that’s over cooked and salty & Small portions of rice to accompany it. Must orders everything A la carte. Decent music but vibes is dead on Friday. 30-50’per person because to get salad pork chops rice beans plantains $40 bucks which a basic Spanish cheapest dish. they add their own gratuity to the bill. And then the machine asks for a tip again. Food takes forever. $170 was our bill for basic one meal. No special dessert for birthday or large party celebrating. Charged us for bread that we asked for since we waited more than 45 minutes for our food. Brought food out scattered times. Charge for every little thing.

Chef is very talented. The service people are very kind but the communication if you speak english can be tough.

The way the billing is done is very confusing.
They have a cash price and a card price
Pricing doesnt match the menu and they added gratuity automatically and presented another option to tip on the checkout equipment.

Awkward

This place is the real deal. Genuine Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 food. It was so good, I came back twice in the same day. I highly recommend it for those looking for the real deal ☺️

This is a gem that I want others to really experience! I love ordering El Jibarito and the pork chops!! You can also get a wonderful coffee at the end of your meal. The food is well- seasoned and the portions are great. It's also a really cute vibe as well! Very cute date night spot. 10/10 recommend!
