The food was great! They were pretty busy and we didn't have a reservation but we were seated in 10 minutes. Our waitress was very nice and explained the menu well. It took quite a while for the food to come out but the wait is definitely worth it. We had the octopus salad for an appetizer and then pernil with arroz con gandules and the chipotle shrimp bowl for our entrees. The food portions are great and you can tell the meal was made by someone who takes pride in their cooking.Parking: Because it's a fairly small place the parking can be a bit tight when it's busy.

This place is incredible! The staff was super friendly and attentive. We had a large group and they made us feel comfortable with the perfect space. Make sure you make a reservation and you will not regret it! Everything we got was super fresh and delicious. We can’t wait to go back!!

we usually order take out because their service usually takes very long. However, the food does not disappoint. We order the bowls which are quite tasty and a nice combination of flavors. All in my family have a different favorite. So we avoid the wait by calling ahead and allowing for their preparation time. However, as long as you are warned and budget enough time for their preparation, you will enjoy lovely food.

Authentic Puerto Rican food. Honestly the best mofongo I've had outside of PR. My husband had the chicharrón and I had bistec encebollado, both with arroz con gandules. The servings were large and full of flavor. My son loved the alcapurrias (his favorite). We will come back to try their habichuelas and more; if you like PR food, this is your spot.

The food is all cooked to order and as delicious as food can be. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. If you’re in the Hamilton area it’s worth a stop. If you’re not in the area it’s worth a trip

Food was exelente, service was ok , location was to small felt a bit claustrophobic, no fisical menu or images which make it a bit harder to order if you dont now about the puerto rican cuisine, in overall food was super great authentic puerto rican cuisine.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendlinessParking: Jas a back paricking space easy accessWheelchair accessibility: Has a ramp to enter the Restaurant
The good: seems like a nice environment, the tripleta had a decent amount of meat. The bad: the tripleta doesn't taste quite right, I can see they wanted to make a fancy tripleta with the meats, but perhaps they should look into making it more authentic, the tripleta as it is at the moment is expensive. $16 for a tripleta is a lot. Perhaps with different meats that match the authentic recipe they can lower the price of this sandwich. Finally, as part of making the recipe more authentic, just use ketchup instead of mayoketchup.

The food was really good. I ordered the sampler which came with 4 different items including empanadas, fried cod fritters, and fried cheese. They served it with a sweet bbq like sauce and some aoli for the fish. For my main course I ordered the trifongo. Which includes 2 types of plantains and yuca. It's was delicious. If you're on a diet, don't come here, lol. It's sinful. My 2 complaints are that the food has more salt than I would prefer. And you do need a reservation, however it doesn't say that on the site. We came twice to try to eat here. The first time they didn't have space and were a little snippy when we said we didn't have a reservation. The second time I made sure to make a reservation.

Just moved to Jersey a few weeks ago from NM; and of course me being puertorrican I HAD to find a good puertorrican food place. I called the store to ask what time they closed and they answered, he didn't say anything else. We arrived at the restaurant and the girl at the bar asked us if we had a reservation which we said "no" because we didn't know we needed a reservation. She was very rude, saying next time we need a reservation with an attitude (like I am supposed to know?). It was our first time here so her attitude ruined the experience .Other than that the guy that took our order was very helpful and extremely nice to us! ORDER THAT PIÑA COLADA, definitely coming back for that one For dessert we ordered a flan de queso, fried guava Cheescake and the Oreo one as well. Everything was very good. One thing for sure is the pernil was salty, but everything else was perfect!
