My friend and I came here a few years ago when we were visiting New York. Armando was very hospitable towards us and the food was the best! Recently ordered nacatamales and he shipped them out to me in California. You can tell he’s very passionate and loves making food for the community and sharing our Nicaraguan culture with others. Thank you for the positive experience, Armando!

El Nica has everything a Nicaraguan has been missing from his home cuisine. The Carne Asada and the Quesillo both were delicious and as if I were eating them in the streets of Managua. Definitely stop by if you are in the area!
