“This was our first time at the restaurant. What a great experience!!! From the food to the service, there was absolutely nothing to complain about. The restaurant met our expectations and beyond! The food was flavorful and the servers attention was extraordinary. While we live on the other side of the Hudson, we are already planning our next trip. Thanks for bringing a slice of the island to Hudson Valley.Shout out to Samantha for her amazing recommendations. The portions were so big, we couldn’t eat it all because we were also saving room for desert. Our only regret was we didn’t get to try the coquito cheesecake as they were all out. But at least we have something to look forward to on our next visit!“
“The service here was very welcoming and friendly and even though I few questions about the menu she answered them no problem. Now the food since I ordered take out, the cookie was good, fresh baked and very soft despite sitting in a hot box, the tripleta sandwich definitely was best, I mean the trifecta of slow roasted pork, chicken and steak well seasoned and generous portioned is great, plus potato stix in a sandwich is not common but not unwelcome, the BBQ sauce I could not tell it was in the sandwich but the sofrito aioli was very good, since the sandwich was pretty dry without it. Beef and cheese empanada was good, nothing above average. Now the cream cheese and Nutella empanada am pretty mixed, since Nutella filling is great no doubt as a filling in any pastry, but the cream cheese I wish they transformed it, since it was more or less a slice of refrigerated block cream cut and put into the pocket, would be well worth it to make a sweeten cream cheese icing like you get on cinnamon buns and put that with the Nutella into the empanada. The sandwiches are definitely fire here, but empanadas I might think twice.“
“Normally pick up here sometimes. The rice and beans, stewed chicken and pernil are all great as well as oxtail. Around holidays we always order a tray of rice and beans. This place I'd definitely recommend and they have never let us down.“
“I just had the white rice and beans with the pork chop. It was so good!!!! This is coming from a Puerto Rican who grew up eating Puerto Rican food. This is definitely a good place! The rice and beans didn't taste oily at all like in other restaurants ive been too. The food really felt like i visited my grandmothers house in PR and she set me up with a little to-go plate to take home.I've been to the spots in Fishkill and Wappingers and for Puerto Rican food, this spot is by far the best one.With any kind of Caribbean restaurants, the food sits out on a hot plate, typically, places like this produce rice and beans that are dry and hard. But not this place! I read other reviews and they may have had a bad batch. Cuz the food I just ate was delicious.“
“What can I say about this restaurant. Two words. Simply Amazing. Let me start from the beginning. I was hosting a party excepting 70 guests. Planning a party is stressful enough dealing with vendors and caterers etc. Izla ease my stress. The staff was very professional. The staff was on point when it came to having my order ready on time. They had the food packed in these easy to transport boxes. The food was delicious I got so many compliments. I will always recommend this restaurant and go to them for any event that I host. Lastly THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.“
