We ate here 7 years ago and remembered it being wonderful! We had the opportunity to stop in again and it was just as good if not better than last time. We had the frita, tostones, rice and beans and they blessed us with a flan for my birthday. Service was top notch and food was over the top. And as a bonus, the man himself was there and the kids enjoyed taking a picture with him. We can’t wait to go again.
