This place is Spanish speaking only! No English. Even with Spanish speaking members of my group trying to get them to understand what I wanted was difficult. Needless to say, I ordered pollo fajitas and I received breaded and fried chicken tenders without any peppers or vegetables of any kind. When I asked for crema agria, I was given spoiled white gravy. Seriously... gravy that the milk had soured in. The rest of my group with the exception of one other was satisfied with their meal. I really think it was mostly due to a language barrier.

We had received a flyer for this restaurant and decided to try it out. I can't review the ambiance since we ordered take out so my review is solely on the food. Based on presentation, the food is unappealing. The breaded pork that I had ordered was practically charred and the mofongo was just mashed plantain with no aesthetic appeal. This alone made us skeptical about the quality of the food but we ate it nonetheless. The charred breading of the pork was completely overpowering and it tasted extremely bitter. The mofongo had no taste and if there was salt, it could have used a lot more. Also, the mofongo came without any gravy and provided the dryness it was heavily missed. The rice was decent, unexpected but decent. The maduros we ordered were pretty good but could have used a quick shake off because the oil was seeping out. I do appreciate the flan though, thoughtful gesture and it let us end the meal on a positive note. I don't think I'll be ordering from here again but I wish them the best.

I ordered a full chicken for a relatives birthday with sides from a sign left outside Only they left out the white meat. 25$ bill. I'm not sure if it was done so I don't have to wait for a fresh roasted chicken or like fried chicken place near by that seems take the best of the chicken and leave it out. The white meat. It was over priced to begin with but it's what my relative wanted . She wanted from pio pio really but I gave them a chance. If it was an ordinary day I'd shrug it off but my relative wasn't happy and that was her favorite part so she comes down on me to blame.

the cashier charged me for 2 lemonades, 12 dollars each, instead on the menu and on the screens it showed me that it cost 6. we went back a few minutes later to ask for explanations, but the girl smiling and laughing confirmed that they cost 12. finally she charged me double for the lemonades that cost 6, we had taken 7 empanadas and 2 lemonades

The worst roasted chicken I have had in my life. It tasted like nothing. I seriously mean it when the chicken tasted like it was seasoned with salt and air. I'm never coming back to this place.

This restaurant has been changing ownerships too many times as it struggles to maintain a steady and profitable business competing with so many restaurants on Central Avenue. Food here has gone from very good and affordable before pandemic to nothing but eating sodium to current ownership offering buffet and better selections on the menu. I live nearby so my wife tends to order from here. The food is fair and the price reasonable. Eat in might be a challenge as waiters seem to take their time! For any budget oriented customers it's a good place to have around when you don't feel like cooking at home.
