As PR'ricans that have been in away from PR for 6 years this place brought us home!! The mofongo with pernil and arroz con gandules was heavenly. The sandwich cubano was perfection. We drove 40 mins to come here and will come again. If you like bacalaitos, you have to come in on a Friday!!!!! You will not regret it. Drink options have MALTA INDIA iykyk and the desserts are tasty and legit. Oh and they have limbers! Staff is friendly and very attentive!

The food here is amazing and freshly prepared. As a result, it does take longer.
There is limited seating, so it may be best to take your order to go.

I just need to express how AMAZING this place is! I have tried my fair share of PR restaurants around nj/ny/pa and this place by far has the BEST FOOD! The Pernil is to literally DIE for. The portion sizes are generous. The restaurant is clean, decorated beautifully and the staff is super inviting. I am so happy I discovered this place - you guys have a forever customer right here!!!!

One of our favorite restaurants, very friendly staff, Alvaro is always welcoming and polite, their food is delicious!!! Their catering menu is amazing, big juicy portions and they packed it in a sturdy tray in a box for you that makes it easy to carry. We love EVERYTHING on the menu!

Food is good! But customer service is terrible! They never have a smile, (especially the beautiful lady in the front with red lipstick),they not even look in your face. I have been there to pick up my order a couple times and is always the same! Never feel welcome in the place! It’s a shame because food is good but I refuse to be mistreated!

Good morning, yesterday I felt at home, the food was exquisite and the attention of the guy from Cali who served me was excellent, thank you, thank you.

I had a family get-together and my days got too crazy to plan. I decided to try my luck at this small Puerto Rican restaurant. It was the best decision I made! On 11/22/24 I called and had a great conversation with Alvaro who assured me they would be able to help.

I ordered their ā€œarroz con gandĆŗlesā€, ā€œpernilā€, and ā€œempanadillas de carneā€. The food was a hit at the get-together! Everyone loved the authentic taste of the rice and pork. We were also all pleasantly surprised that the empanadas were packed with meat.

Alvaro saved the day with his great customer service and warm personality. He went above and beyond to ensure my family and I had a great time enjoying the food we grew up eating. I noticed he didn’t have a PuertoRican accent but that didn’t stop him from providing outstanding service.
Thank you!

My mother placed a catering order on Wednesday, and we were told a payment link would be sent, but it never was. When we went in today to pay, we were informed the order had been canceled after just one day. When we asked why, the man at the counter rudely claimed we didn’t answer phone calls, my mom works and went right after work to pay for the order. His attitude was extremely rude and sarcastic, which is unacceptable. I am deeply disappointed with the lack of service and professionalism. Not only was the link never sent, but the way my mother and I were treated was appalling. As a regular customer, I expected much better, but this experience has made it clear I’ll be taking my business elsewhere. We would have placed another order had it not been for the rude person in the front. I suggest that the owner get someone nicer to man the establishment

This place is very small and the food was old and stale tasting. The guy behind the counter was rude and sarcastic.
