This place is a true treasure! The staff's warmth instantly made me feel at home. The food was exceptional, reminiscent of the flavors of home-cooked meals. The arroz con gandules was perfectly executed, and the acapurrias, jibarritos, flan, and tembleque were all exquisite. Each dish showcased the culinary mastery of the kitchen, leaving me thoroughly impressed. Dining here felt like a delightful culinary journey, thanks to the attentive and friendly service.

The goat stew, lechon, and chicken stew were all amazing. So delicious! They were all very fresh-tasting, moist, and well seasoned.The arroz con gandules was good, and the habichuelas were excellent. My husband and I both thought the Mofongo and Trifongo were pretty dry. The mofongo was insanely garlicky, which I actually liked. My husband thought it was over the top. It did sting the tongue a little. Too bad it was so dried out. It's a great taste and texture to stuff a turkey...read full review

Wow! What an amazing place! The staff is really nice and I felt right at home. The food was delicious and just like Mama makes. The arroz con gandules was made just right. The acapurrias, jibarritos, flan and tembleque were absolutely perfect. They taste just like my mom’s. They even brought my nephew a little bowl of arroz con gandules. I felt like I was sitting with family because the waitress was so kind to us.
