Their masitas de cerdo were as good as we have had anywhere. The carne asada had great flavor, but was quite tough. That isn't too surprising for that cut, but it was tougher than others I have had in the past.

Last time I got "ropa vieja" it was about half a cup of the stewed meat! I hoped it'd be more. The extra side of "gallo pinto" was tiny.

I ordered the carne asada with yellow rice and tostones. The piece of steak given is wayyy too small for the amount of rice and price of meal. It was a little cold but still tasted good. Not too shabby for a quick bite of latin food.
