I've been coming here for the last 15 years. Absolutely amazing food! There's nothing like. And the staff are wonderful. Would highly recommend for any occasion!

This restaurant has the kind of comfort that keeps you coming back. I didn't think I'd enjoy this place so thoroughly. The kitchen chooses good ingredients with satisfying serving sizes. Not exaggerating, these workers are outstanding, remarkably friendly, knowledgeable and make you feel at home right away. I'm eager to go back and explore new offerings.

Finally!! A good Puerto Rican restaurant!! I stopped by for lunch and got the costilla which was amazing! Their pernil is also DELICIOUS. Service was superb, the waiter was very friendly and super attentive. I’m definitely coming back!

Decided to visit my mom in J C New jersey with the family. Googled restaurants near me. Chosed this location cause I have been here before, like 2 years ago, but never made a review. Food was very good 👍, ordered the shredded beef came with side of rice and beans.Steak and onions with sides of rice and fries 🍟.Some beef and chicken empanadas.

Well, it was our first time eating here. There was nothing on the tables. We never got offered a glass of water. The server forgot to bring the sugar for our coffee.

could be a lot more friendly and welcoming.
This food experience was profoundly disappointing. The baked chicken was old and dry it lacked moisture and flavor. The red beans had an unappealing mushy texture and flavor profile, reminiscent of ketchup. The yellow rice with pigeon peas was stale and contained a remarkably small amount of peas you could count the amount of pigeon peas on one hand . The plantains were hard, greasy, and inedible. The entire meal failed to meet expectations. We were forced to discard everything, and I will never order from this place ever again. This is the worst Puerto Rican food I have ever tasted. The restaurant's food offerings are well below subpar standards.

The truth is, the food was good but there is an old manager who keeps all the waitresses' money and wants to go with a boy who is very younger than her.

If I could give this place a negative 0 I would. This place is awful! They don’t value their customers at all. I ordered 3 alcapurrias that “were freshly made” they were burnt and just disgusting couldn’t eat them. So I gave a complaint and I still had to pay for them. The owner makes a fortune but taking 3 alcappurrias off a bill was too much for her. She has a nasty attitude and is very rude to her customers. Their food quality is horrible. Old rice, uncooked meat, not flavorful one bit. Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
