Thanks Poncena! You took me back to my town, Ponce Puerto Rico! The Camarones al Ajillo and YUCA were delicious! I drove 30 minutes for this food from South Plainfield, but IT WAS WORTH IT!!!!!

This is a small place, but definitely worth the visit! The food and service are excellent. The staff, are so nice and provide great service. The food is delicious – I had three lunches for just $40, which is an amazing deal. Highly recommend this spot!
