Very Rude, Very Racist. Used to come here as a kid and now I won’t be going back because of the horrible treatment. If I could give a -5 as a review I would.
The food is good but the bad thing is the service because you order one thing and they give you another. If you buy at this restaurant, check your order before leaving so you don't get food that you haven't ordered.

They are extremely racist. They take Spanish people's order before anyone else. I waited patiently to get my ticket for chicken. They lady sith the red hair then took the order of a Spanish man that just walked in. Then she serviced another Spanish man after she told me to wait. A black man paid for his food and was there before me and she didn't even attempt to give him his food. She continued to serve everyone around us. I ultimately left and went where I am a valued customer. I live in the area and never experienced utter disregard like I did today. I don't recommend.

The food was bland. It made me sick, and I wondered how fresh the food was. I ordered rice, beans and rostiserriee chicken. The mojo sauce seemed old as well…

They only Cater to Hispanic people not African Americans I was standing on line and the lady acted like she didn’t see me ! When I spoke up and said something she told me someone else would take my order, when the customer was standing behind me. This has not happen once but a few times ! Everyone should be treated equally. The lady at the register told me that she said “ next “ in Spanish . When I was looking right at her and she never said anything she made eye contact with me once and then looked pass me. I’ve been coming here for years and I won’t be coming no more

I ordered some pork belly(chicharon) and asked the lady who took the order on the phone to make them crispy. I also ordered a side of Yucca. When I received the order, the chicharron was burned. It was basically inedible. I guess they understand crispy to mean burned. The yucca was also bland.
Note for the cooks at this restaurant:
Crispy refers to a crunchy skin while the meat remains tender.
Please to the staff at this place try to understand your customers needs and if you are not sure ask questions. I’ve never met anyone who likes their meat dry and hard. It’s just common sense.
By the way when the food arrived it was cold.
While I threw most of the chicharron away, a family member ate a few and got sick from it. Luckily it wasn’t that serious.
I think these people need a food inspector to check in their restaurant to make sure they are following hygienic protocols, because I don’t think they are.
So please beware, many people have die from eating contaminated food.
Please say NO to average and below average food!!!
We deserve better!

This place has good food and is very inexpensive. A single plate of food with a side of beans, can cost you as little as $9 and the double order of food can. Be as little as $15 this order comes with a plate filled with meat and another filled with rice. With a side of medium beans. Which is enough to feed two people. They sell constantly so their food is always fresh. No matter what time you get there. Enjoy.

I have visited this business since my childhood. My uncles, parents, and all my relatives used to eat here after work or on their days off, either dining in or taking food home. We never had issues. The women working at the counter were always friendly, always smiling. The same when paying at the cash register. But I don't know, in recent years, they have changed ownership, I suppose, and the staff as well, leading to a drastic change. The people there, especially those working at the front, always seem busy. That's not the problem. The issue is their attitude. They look at you with complete disdain if you're not from their country. And even though I'm of a white complexion, it's not that big of a deal, but just for not being Dominican, I would say, they have a very arrogant attitude. And if one complains to the person at the cash register, total support, I think they cover for each other. The customer service is terrible, terrible, terrible. How do they expect someone to give them a tip with such an attitude? And they don't just expect it, they demand it, that's the worst part. I'm giving it one star because that's what it asks for, but honestly, this business doesn't even deserve one star. Moreover, people are even drinking at the counter. That never happened before. This business is going to fall soon. I'm warning my family and friends not to go to this place because the people are rude. Lately, I've noticed that the food is coming out disgusting. Zero, zero stars, I would say for this restaurant.
