I was visiting NJ this past weekend and came across this restaurant; upon reviewing their reviews and close to 5 star ratings I was enticed to give it a try; and I'm glad I did. Service was amazing! The server was extremely attentive! I had the mofongo with fried chicken... I must say, the BEST mofongo I've ever tasted. Most mofongos are dry and require some kind of sauce to wet it and still remain dry... this one didn't require ANY sauce.. it was moist and easy to swallow. I also had the alcapurria..it was delicious as well. I would strongly recommend this restaurant. Oh and the nice salsa music playing in the background is a great touch! Come alone, as I did or bring friends. You'll enjoy it either way!

Excellent spot. Great food and great service. The appetizer sampler (alcapurrias, tostones, chorizo, pasteles, arañitas, chicharrón de pollo and more) can feed 6 people and the sancocho is super tasty. We'll be back for the mofongo and pernil.

Y’all got to go to this place. I’m from Toms River so to find a PR restaurant that has food like my abuela makes is impossible to find. This was exactly what I was looking for. Brought my cousin in who lives in Newark and both of us loved it. Right on point! Food was amazing and staff and service was great. Clean atmosphere and worth my time for sure. Def will be back. Bought extra food just to bring back to the wife cause I know I won’t have food like this till I see Mama (abuela)...A++...10/10

We were in Newark for the Marc Anthony concert and were trying to figure out a place to eat. I found this place on google. Im Puerto Rican and loooove me some PRican food, but nothing is like our homemade food. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!! The food was amazing!! Freshly fried Pastelillos de Carne to the surullitos to the culetas!! The arroz con gandules was on point!!! The service was great super friendly.

The food was authentic. Wanted a pulpo salad and they made it fresh, had a sandwich and felt like I was back in PR. The alcapurria was just like my mother made it. Prices are beyond reasonable, my only wish is that they were here in NY. Whenever I am near Newark I will definitely be going back.

We love this place! It's our go to restaurant. We were just there and I have to tell you...everything was fresh and the owner is so nice. I can't stop bragging about this place. You know who we are mija. I'm the short one that came in with my wife. Que dios te bendiga para Siempre !

They are always so polite, quick and the food is delicious. I needed a few carbs today AND protein, so I had the rice, beans AND roasted (to perfection) chicken... Exquisito! It smelled so good, I forgot to photograph it first.

This place is just like eating food that my mom / my grandma just finished cooking - nice decor, friendly people, awesome homemade food... it's like they took the best restaurant on the island & dropped it here. Prices are good, portions are generous. I am a tour bus driver & have tasted PR food all over the USA... BUT this place takes the top prize!

SO savory! I was raised in Puerto Rico so not may Puerto Rican spots " wow " me. This place is awesome. Lady up front is so sweet too. You can call ahead and have them have your food ready when you arrive too! ONLY thing I was bummed about is that they never have rellenos de papa when I go.
