Server GG was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. She recommended the cilantro rice. It was flavorful and fluffy. I had the quarter chicken white meat with the rice , a salad, and plantains. I plan to keep returning until I've tried everything on their menu; they have lamb!

Update: We tried new items. This week we had a burger which was fresh and delicious! We got steak quesadillas, chicken gyro, deboned chicken and red potatoes. We loved everything. The only thing that was not my favorite was the potatoes. They were ok but just needed to be cooked a tad bit longer. Either still one of our favorite restaurants. We go there At least once a week.

Mostly good except the quality of the yellow sauce seems to depend on your luck, sometimes it's good sometimes not. This time it tasted like it was spoiled and almost made me vomit.
