The drinks were very well made, with nice presentation. My wife, Patricia, had a Coconut Mojito and I had two Lemon Martinis (well blended) refreshing and tasty. Order the Calamari as an appetizer.

After sampling her food we were truly impressed on the quality and flavor of her food . Since then we usually order food weekly. The portions are generous and always full of delicious meals.

Kid-friendliness: Family owned businesses and their heart and soul are in their food .“

The interior is beautiful with lots of photo opporunities inside.

Their cappuccino is just right. Guava pastry is good. They have empanadas and other patry items like cupcakes, brownies, macarons, etc.

Worth a stop if you have time and are in the area.

They make cakes for special occasions as well.“

My food was delicious I don’t eat meat so I had two types of rice, vegetables and both beans they had. My daughter had their quarter chicken with rice and beans. The prices are dirt cheap which is surprising considering the economy. I’ll return for sure!!!“

“Im Salvadorian and moved to Bayonne from Queens NY where there’s nothing but amazing Hispanic food! This restaurant is one of the only ones in Bayonne that makes me feel like home. The pupusas are so good ! I was here a few days ago and I’d gladly come again and again. They are made to order so you do have to wait a bit but if you’re in a rush they have a great selection for their hot bar food which is also great my husband loves their sopa de res !“

“Good food, limited communication due to the staff have limited English. The dining area was small, very crowded. Food served pretty fast eventhough they need to redo my order because the waiter took the wrong order. Overall foods are delicious.“
