This hidden little gem completely rocked my world! I've never had mofongo until now but my husband is from Puerto Rico... even he said this place was absolutely amazing, and yes they are from the island. It shows in the cooking. There are no words to accurately describe how tasty, perfect, and wonderful each dish we had was, so you'll just have to try it for yourself. We will definitely be back and I intend to try everything on the menu.

Delicious! Got their $9.99 lunch special - Pechuga la plancha & arroz con gandules (grilled chicken breast and rice w/pigeon peas). Loved every bite and was perfect for lunch. Had that dish a couple times before and it was just as good (if not better) as the time before. So much flavor! We have a business next door and we have seen these great people build and grow. Such a nice and hard-working family! Support small business!

Overall a good experience. I went to try the octopus salad but they didn’t have it that day so I will return. I was pleased with the steak and onions and mofongo. Everything was delicious including the flan which was delicious and creamy
