We had the cubano and tripleta sandwiches with tostones (fried plantains) and they all were delicious! We finished off with the Flan de Vainilla. Very friendly service as well. We'll be back!

As always Monica puts out the Best Caribbean Food in Iowa. This was our youngest Grandaughters 1st time at the Restaurant. As always the food is mouth waterly delicious! I've known Monica since the restaurant's opening in 2018. The food always proves to be a culinary delight!!!

If you are looking for *authentic* Puerto Rican food, this is the place! The owners are from my hometown and every time I go it feels like my grandma’s cooking. The staff is friendly and make you feel like family. Overall, the atmosphere/food is exactly what you’d find at a family restaurant on the island.
