As a Puerto Rican, this place is a disappointment. When they first opened everything was great but you can really tell the passion is no longer there. The food does not taste like authentic Puerto Rican food, the flavors are bland. The price increase does not match the portion of food. I mean I understand everything is more expensive now but if you are going to chard me more at least make the food taste amazing. I often find myself having to drive more than an hour away to get a taste of back home. :/

I have given this Puerto Rican restaurant numerous attempts on trying to like the food., as a half Dominican and half Puerto Rican it’s very hard to find authentic Puerto Rican food, I am simply reviewing restaurant because I got fed up., I walk in to order BISTEC ENSABOLLADO W/ WHITE RICE AND BEANS and sweet plantains. The food continues to be not great. The bistec look like it was missing soooooo much color, pail, the bistec looked like it was about to pass out. The rice was hard, almost broke my tooth, I didn’t ask for pegao, and it wasn’t pegao, simply undercooked. Everything is expensive, they charge you for anything and everything., I can keep talking about I just sound like an angry bird … never again will I come here… not worth it, never was. This restaurant belongs on the show “kitchen Nightmares” …. I’m done

Pernil was seasoned to perfection, though I would have liked a little more crispiness and color on the outside. The sweet plantains were so good. If I’m ever back in Boston, I’ll definitely return!

You definitely have to stop here for some authentic Puerto Rican food. It's delicious! Mondongo, pastelitos, Carne guisada (yummo), yes, it's the place to be. And they do catering!! Can't wait for their expansion!

I remember having my first jibarito here a while back. Couldn’t wait to try another. From then to now something has changed in quality of food, portions, and price. Too bad this place use to be good and had great prices. My sandwiches barely had any meat or flavor. You were great once! Thank you for that.

The problem with this restaurant is when the mother, the father, or sister are working you get shorted food, they overcharge you for plates. When the son is working everything is good. The plate looks like someone’s already ate off them. For the amount of money they charge. then they look at you like you’re the problem Let you be another race or color. If your a Rican your plate overflows… You don’t get the same service or same amount of food. The mother tried to charge me 18$ for that trash. I told her hell no go me and my money out of there. And will never go again…
I came in on a cool day, looking for some good Authentic PR food, porque no hay nada por aqui en la comunidad. This place was amazing growing up so I got pollo guisado a arroz con gandules y carne de res con arroz con gandules, alcapurria, y pastelitos. When I got home, the chicken was very bland and pale, maybe boiled first without much seasoning ? It had a very watery thin caldo con el arroz partially undercooked. The carne de res was very bland for my husband as well. “You should have just cooked this here”. So unfortunate. The alcapurrias could have use a little more adobo in the meat filling, fried perfectly tho and the pastelitos saved the day. I unfortunately did not enjoy my plate, entonces mis perros comieron bien (con mucho respeto porque yo no desperdicio comida y ellos comen lo que yo como 🙏🏼🙏🏼 ).
