Absolutely amazing! This Puerto Rican gem delivers flavor and heart in every bite. The highlight was the trifongo—a perfect mix of green and yellow plantains with cassava, mashed to perfection. Topped with their signature garlic sauce, it brings a spectacular burst of taste that takes the dish to another level. A must-visit spot if you love bold, soulful food. Five stars all the way!
The food is always amazing, and the prices are very reasonable. It’s a local favorite, so it can get quite busy, especially on weekends, which means you might experience longer wait times. Still, it’s well worth it!
I took my mom and Tia (old school Puerto Rican women) there for dinner on a Friday evening. They absolutely loved their meals and approved of everything! All of our meals were excellent! We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning.
