I USED TO THINK THAT DAVID THE OWNER WAS MY FRIEND, SINCE I MET HIM IN 2007 WHEN HE STARTED THIS RESTAURANT WITH HIS CAUSING AND A PUERTORICAN COOK, AT THE TIME. FOR YEARS I WAS FAITHFULY THERE, NOT ONLY FOR THE PRICES, BUT BECAUSE HE ALWAYS GAVE ME A MILITARY DISCOUNT AND THEY WERE FRIENDLY AND WERE THERE ON MY BAD TIMES WHEN THEY LISTEN TO ME AFTER SEPARATION FROM MY WIFE IN CALI AND RETIRING FROM THE ARMY. THEY WERE ALSO THERE WHEN MY LIFE CHANGED FOR THE BEST, WITH MY NEW WIFE. BUT, THRU THE YEARS HE STOP BEING THERE AND HAD A FEMALE MANAGER THAT REFUSED TO GIVE US MILITARY DISCOUNT OR TO CALL HIM TO GET THIS FOR US, BESIDES THE FACT THAT THE FOOD GOT MORE EXPENSIVE, LESS FOOD ON THE PLATE, BAD TASTE, BAD SERVICE, BUT HE WAS HARDLY EVER THERE ANYMORE, TO LISTEN EVEN TO HIS FAITHFULL CUSTOMERS, THAT EVEN AFTER WE MOVE AN HOUR AWAY, WE CONTINUE TO GO THERE, UNTIL THAT FEMALE MANAGER GOT THE BEST OF ME, HIDING ON THE FACT HE SUPPOSEDLY TOLD HER NOT TO GIVE ANY DISCOUNT OR EVEN ADAPT THE PLATE TO CLIENT DESIRES. THEY HIDE BEHIND THE FACT THAT THE PORK RINGS WERE MORE EXPENSIVE. AFTER COVID, THEY GOT WORST. TODAY MY WIFE WAS THERE, AFTER I TOLD HER THAT WE WOULD NOT PUT A FOOT ON THAT PLACE ANYMORE, BECAUSE HE WAS NOT EVEN THERE FOR HIS FRIENDS. MY WIFE BROUGHT ME SOME FOOD AND IT WAS HORRIBLE AND THE SOUP SHE GOT WAS SUPER EXPENSIVE AND AGAIN, NO MILITARY DISCOUNT BECAUSE THEY GOT A NEW SYSTEM AND THE OWNER WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN GIVE A DISCOUNT, SO I GUESS THE MANAGER IS THERE FOR DECORATION, BESIDES THE FACT THAT 2 YEARS OR MORE AGO, THEY TOLD ME TJE SAME STORY. DAVID, I HATE TO THINK YOU GORGOT YOUR FRIENDS, NOW THAT YOU OWN 2 OR MORE PLACES, BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE ME, GOT YOU THERE. SAD!

Delicious and very fulfilling Puerto Rican food. I love the variety of seafood options and sizes are trully giagantic. Also highly recommend to try their fresh juices!!! Service was outstanding and all the ladies working there have wonderful customer service skills that make an experience even better.
