Just returned from a beautiful trip to Puerto Rico. Picked up a carryout based on my phone recommendation for PR food near me. Enjoyed my Chicken Mofongo very much. Generous portions and fairly priced. I'll stop back again.

We came in for the first time tonight and everything we had was delicious! We ordered the chicken and beef empanadas (corn) to start. And then the skirt steak and pork belly for entrees. It was plenty of food for 3 adults and a child. I can’t wait to go back and try other things!

Stopped in after visiting Legasea. Wish we lived closer. The food was amazing, we especially loved the empanada (we tried several varieties) and flan. The staff were so kind. We wish you all the success!

Everything we have ever had here has been absolutely delicious! The owner is very sweet and today gifted us some empanadas to try, which were amazing and we will definitely be ordering those again next time. The food is fresh, flavorful and authentic. My daughter was already asking when we can come back before we even left. The restaurant is very cute and we enjoyed the music and ambiance too. The staff is very friendly and happy to answer any questions you have about the food. We will be back for sure!

Excellent food, but, the kitchen ventilation is poor so expect for your clothes to smell like food after you leave…for that very reason, I’ll never dine in again (I don’t do takeout)

This restaurant serves traditional Puerto Rican and Dominican food in a quiet, laid-back environment with plenty of parking. The service was friendly, which made for a pleasant dining experience overall.
We started with the stuffed tostones appetizer, three tostones filled with pernil (pork). The pork itself was very flavorful and well seasoned, which we really enjoyed. However, the portion size was quite small for the price. At about $5 per tostone, it felt overpriced and not worth the cost in my opinion.
For dinner, one order was bistec encebollado with white rice and beans. The steak was thin and just okay, didn't really look like bistec encebollado, too plain. We’re more accustomed to this dish being made with cubed steak, but preferences vary. The rice and beans, though, were very tasty and full of flavor.
Another entrée was carne guisado with Spanish rice. The rice was excellent—well seasoned and flavorful—but unfortunately, the beef was disappointing. It tasted reheated and had a slightly stale flavor, which took away from the dish.
We also tried a pork sandwich, which was flavorful and enjoyable.
Overall, most of the food was good, the service was ok, and the atmosphere was calm and comfortable. While I don’t think I would personally go back, if you’re in the mood for Caribbean food and want to try a Puerto Rican and Dominican menu, this place may be worth checking out at least once, its a hit or miss on the food.

The steak sandwich was delicious with its unique touch, and the cilantro sauce was flavorful. The owner makes you feel right at home; they are very attentive and friendly, and the cashier was very gentlemanly. I was absolutely delighted.
