Came to eat here about a week ago and I had a bad one so bad that I probably wouldn't go back again. First let me say that this is not my first time eating at this establishment. I've come a few times over the past few years and I've never had a problem before. I usually have their soups with rice and maybe something to go for my wife. This time around I had a beef soup and though the food in the picture that I took looks amazing ...It wasn't at all. Let me get straight to the point. The broth was delicious but the meat was absolutely horrible and I wish I would of said something to my waitress but I saw other men there eating the same exact soup so I just kept quiet about it. The meat was old and I've never tasted such bad tasting beef in a stew before. One piece tasted almost rotten and I spit it out and ate around everything else. I eat at Spanish restaurants all the time and I know they use left over meats sometimes in most of their sanchocho's but this was past being a day old. That meat should of never been in that soup and I know how good quality meat should taste so shame on you for serving that unhealthy trash. Gave me a stomach ache that night into the next day. I mean your establishment no disrespect but I know you guys could do better and I'm just here to give you my honest review...

Service was horrible! Lady looked me in my face for 6 minutes (I counted) as she wiped down one plate never asked if she could help me. Only one table of guests other then that spot EMPTY so…then my food was trash!! Rice came from the bottom of the pot (hard and crunchy) I am a FIRM believer in tipping. I tip everyone every where even the gas attendants but she acted as if she did not want to serve me. Is this place only for Dominicans or…..will never return

The service is so disgusting, I didn’t care for the food at this point and I regret driving 30 minutes for a terrible establishment. I arrived all three women had a nasty look on their faces. When I said my name for pick up no one responded back. When I tried to request more food to go, 2 of the three women sucked their teeth. Not one person said a word as far as the food being ready. I literally spoke to myself in the mirror and waited and waited and waited until I spoke up and told all three their service is terrible. The younger woman got nasty with me and told me I need to wait. Those were the only words I heard since walking in. They attended a older man that walked in AFTER me. They all flirted with this man and I stood waiting for my food with my child. I walked out with $50 worth of food to go and they didn’t have bags aswell for me to carry the food out. I was with my 3 year old who has a disability. I struggled with him for his safety when walking out because of all the food I individually had to carry by hand. When I asked for help, the OLDER woman at the register said in a ugly accent “sorry for you”. When I tell you, you are better off at a food truck than this rotten place. They are not deserving of any service. No hospitality, no smiles, no help, no human being behavior. Those women are in the wrong industry flirting with men. Disgusting. NEVER again!

There wasn't much to choose from. The chicken tasted smoked, the Moro was good. They have good customer service. They should have more varieties.
