Tbf food can be alright, but unless you’re a dude, the old ladies who are on the counter are really rude and act like they are making you a favor by selling you food.
It’s pretty obvious their change of demeanor, and honestly as a customer all I expect is to be treated with respect and fairly, specially because at the end of the day I’m paying for each one of the items I’m ordering, the least they can do is not be rude, stingy and ignorant. Absolutely insane.
Then they can’t even make up their mind about the prices, they change it as they want arguing that the hour, the day and any other dumb ass excuse to give you a different price even when the prices are on the menu and the counter.

And, wait for this, a CUP of coquito $25?!, when people sell Homemade small bottles for about $30-35, when you can easily have 3 or 4 cups out of that. Very very Ridiculous.

Honestly, I wish I could say for the food is worth it, but not even, food is alright, but save yourself the lack of respect from their staff and that they might wanna overcharge you for a soda or an item of the menu as they please. The place inside is very dark, not really family oriented, and seems “ok” with cleanliness, but its questionable, there’s always someone yelling or fighting or some arguing between the people in the kitchen and the counter , or the counter old hags talking mad disrespectful to customers, so you can’t really enjoy yourself, your company, or the food being there.

It’s been a year since the last time I went there, and I remember now why I stopped even thinking of them as an option.

A crappy restaurant, the food is crap and they charge you $18 dollars for a rag of lunch. They are abusing people, stealing my money, they are not going to see me around anymore or any of my people.

Havent been here in years (15+ years) and was in town and decided to stop in like I used to years ago before heading back out of town to go home and was kind of disappointed that the food is nothing like I remembered it to be. It was just cold and no flavor.

I love this place. Food is delicious. Good serving sizes. Food always hot even when delivered. Fast delivery.. but the staff needs to listen more, they all ask to repeat to much
