This place is Puerto Rico, the food, staff and atmosphere was "chevere" the music was on point. I enjoyed my meal "mofongo" and the experience.Vegetarian options: You can request an order and they will accomodate a patron.

Food was good not worth the pricey tag that comes along with it. Have to wait a bit for the food to come out, nice decor and music. Staff was courteous and attentiveParking: Had to park pretty far on the street

Been here before and the food was great. This time around it was disappointing. Ordered the stuffed chicken breast and it was not cooked thoroughly, the bartender was also the waitress and host. The restaurant looks like it could use some TLC.

Small spot in the Bronx with good food and great people. Service can be a bit hectic cause the place sometimes gets packed, but the food is delicious and the drinks are also good. The spot has a long bar and plenty of seating, clean and tidy with usually just two on the wait staff, one of which would be the bartender. But you won't have to wait too long. Kareoke on Fridays with every other weekend Fridays and Saturdays. The kareoke DJ is a young man called Nap and this man definitely keeps the party going. It also has one of the best bartenders with Maria, always a smile on her face and a drink coming your way. Yea a very nice and intimate place

Sad because years ago it was a true boriqua eatery however very disappointing visiting in the new year 2024. I visited with my 2 daughters and it was a huge F:( From "REORDERING 1 DRINK TWICE, TO the pork chops not properly cooked as well as the overpriced skirt Steak burnt no taste Overpriced for What You Literally receive. It was simply an experience that forbade me from ever visiting.

This is my third time here. I kept coming saying ok let me try one more time. Unfortunately I just can't go there again. I asked for Mofongo de Churrasco. I get a piece of meat with a tiny piece of Mofongo on the side. I almost cry when I saw my plate. If I wanted Churrasco with a side I would had ordered that. I expected better from the cook but unfortunately they are not Boricua. Mofongo de Churrasco is a good size of Mofongo and in the middle of it pieces of Churrasco etc, even integrated etc would had been great. Also the flavor of it all was horrible. This was more like a cheap skirt steak. My cousin had bistec encebollado. Was bad as well. Was sooo thin n cheap flavor. Looked more like a sandwich steak. The appetizer of tostones with ropa vieja, omg baaad. The ropa vieja was flavorless tick and rubbery making the tostones sooo saggy and wet. Ugh im just so disappointed. Is embarrassing at the same time going to eat "Boricua" food and being the opposite. The server that heard my complaint told me to give them one more chance. I just cant ???

The chicken chunks were good and seasoned 8/10The rice was 4/10The beans were lowkey hard 4/10The tostones 7/10The pastelitos had no flavor and on top of that they serve it to you with duck sauce. lol like why is there duck sauce. And guess what, the duck sauce didn’t taste like anything. 2/10Go to a Caridad instead of this. Keeping it a band.
