This was the first time I've had Puerto Rican cuisine. My friend that met me there has had it before and we both enjoyed it very much.

Strongly recommended - great unique flavors, wonderful service and fair pricing.

Having had their food from a food truck years ago I knew the flavors but was surprised how big the restaurant was. Bigger than I expected - also greeted by the owner at the host stand. It was nicer than I expected - I thought it was a order at the counter and sit and eat sort of place.

Great for small bites and nice wine options.

A little loud inside - might benefit from sound deadening.

Looking forward to trying this place in the summer with the outside patio seating.

My churrasco was bland, the chicken arroz asopeado was too salty. The pastelillos with ground beef were good 👍. Great service

Update: I used to be a big fan, but I've been very disappointed the last two times I've visited. Flavor is off, waaay too salty, and rice was uncooked. Doesn't really taste like Puerto Rican food anymore.

Todo rico! I'm a Puerto Rican that recently moved to the area. Loved finding this place! Delicious food. The flavors are authentic. Reminds me of home. Great service too.

Being from Puerto rico, it wasnt what I was hoping for. No Puerto ricans working and no Puerto ricans eating. Service took a long time, not because of island time but possibly understaffed or lack of attention. I was very excited to get a taste of home. I hope things get better as it is PR owned

I had the Pollo asopao with sweet plantains and one of their house salads. All food was flavorful and absolutely delicious

Amazing ! 4 of us went here for lunch . The waitress was so patient and kind explained the menu and items! ALL the food was so so unbelievable good!!! We all ordered different items to try a little bit of everything. When I tell you every single item was phenomenal it truly was! We are already planning to come back !

Wepa had been recommended to me by multiple friends. I was very excited to try it. My churrasco was good and so were the cheese pastelillos. Service was slow and kind of unpleasant. My recommendation is to not go here with your kids. They are not welcome here and you’ll be treated accordingly.

Kid-friendliness: Not a kid-friendly establishment.

The camarones with garlic sauce were good, but not garlicky at all. Tostones were crisp and tasty. Service was good. Balcony area was pleasant, but beware there are 3 flights of stairs to get up there!

We dined at the Wepa cafe this past weekend. The pastelillos were great! We had the shrimp and the house special of the day (chicken pot pie). They came out piping hot and delicious as always. Served with fry sauce and house made ranch (I would use that dressing on most anything!). So good. We also enjoyed two dishes Bacalao Guisado with a side of yucca, and a Chicken dish with potatoes that I cannot remember the name of. We ordered mofongo with this and paid the up charge for arroz con grandules. There was a few disappointments with our entrees. They were not warm -not cold but not warm at all which was off putting but we’re hungry and did not want to complain. The chicken dish was a little too briny or vinegar tasting for my liking but my date enjoyed it. The Bacalao was disappointing-it was very very salty and again, not warm at all. I’m from the Caribbean so I’m used to salted cod but this was overly so. I have been here a few times and for the most part have always been happy with the meals. But not so much this time. Our waitress was great as is the owner. But the food lacked a bit.

Passing through on my way back east, and i was excited to find some latin flavors. But it missed the mark on so many levels. Seasoning was missing and overall just not puerto rican. Points for making your own dough for the pastelillos. only finished my tostones and those weren’t even that good. The mofongo side well was just eh, and the garlic butter sauce thing had no flavor. I kept tasting it and it had the consistency of water. I really had high hopes.

Great place! The food was great, and I love the big doors they open to give that outdoor feel.

I hope that our dinner experience was unusual for this restaurant. Very loud, marginal food quality, and slow service. The server was quite pleasant and apologetic.
