Good food and friendly staff, ordered what the staff recommended and it was delicious, can definitely taste the home cooking style, however the food can be a little dry. Also the first time I came they were not open for dine in during their business hour

We had a wonderful experience! The food was excellent having never eaten PR cuisine we didn't no what to expect. We ordered the sample platter and everything was delicious. The waitress was extremely pleasant and helpful. Don't miss this one!

A hidden gem in the finger lakes region. Very authentic and excellent Puerto Rican food. Be sure to get the special piña colada. Check this place out if you’re in the area!

A friend has mentioned this restaurant but we don’t go that frequently to Mt. Morris so we have waited. They have moved from location but a person from a local store came out to help us with the directions.? Its a small but clean and cute Latin/Puerto Rican (owners are from Puerto Rico) restaurant. What we all ordered: Churrasco with white rice(only option) and beans with a side of yellow plantains, fried pork with tostones(fried green plantains), and four piña ? coladas with rum. To go: twin chicken empanadas, quesitos, flan ? and passion fruit moose?. Pretty much all the food was very good, but the rice was hard and the beans not too hot. To our like the churrasco should not be cut in pieces as it get dry, but flavor was good enough. Like every other place they suffer from staff shortages so it takes a little bit longer to get your food/drinks, so be patient food is worth it. Like a Latin/Hispanic restaurant they have music which we enjoyed and it was loud enough that you can talk to others without screaming at each other ??. One last thing to the owners, please do not use fabuloso to clean the tables while there’s people eating. The smell is so strong that at one point we all tasted the fabuloso while still eating. Yes, I know you want the restaurant to smell clean but not use it while having service. There are other options to sanitize the tables without been a strong and overwhelming smell. And yes we will come back!!? I forgot the ceviche, OMG ? is different but soooo delicious ??

The food here is absolutely amazing! My grandparents are from Puerto Rico so I was raised on authentic food and this did not disappoint! I highly recommend the Rellenos de papa, Carne Frita, Tostones, and PR rice and beans! You can’t go wrong with Mofongo either. Better yet get the Chinchorro so you can try them all! The value / pricing I feel is appropriate as well. Our waitress was sooo kind and sweet! Really enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back next time we are in this area! ??

Everything was delicious from the mofongo de cerdo and the pernil with rice and black beans to the cafe con leche and flan. The server was friendly and the food was served quickly with a lovely presentation. Will definitely be back the next time we are in Mount Morris!

Went in to dine, expected maybe a small wait. Took about 5 minutes for a server to even acknowledge us while we stood at the counter and quietly waited to be addressed. The girl was nice, it was VERY busy and she seemed a little flustered. She couldn’t give us a wait time estimate which is not her fault but.. there’s restaurant software specifically for that purpose - if it’s regularly busy it might be worth looking into instead of making your servers tell guests that they have no idea how long it’ll be. We gave her our number, were told she’d call us when the next person left, and waited in the car for about 20 minutes. No call, but we watched several people who were dining leave the restaurant. Eventually we gave up and went to High Banks across the street and were seated and served immediately. I’m all for supporting places and being patient when it’s busy but- it’s two hours later and not once did I receive a call from here. Very disappointing. Food seems like it would be amazing but some front end management would probably help this place out. Not sure if we’ll try it again.

First time to this restaurant. Arranged for a 6:30 reservation. From the time of ordering the food to the meal arrival took one hour. Ordered pork and plantain with a garlic sauce. The pork was over cooked, dry and hard. The plantain was tasteless and dried out. Would not recommend this restaurant. These comments were shared with the waitress and the cook, and they offered no response.

Nice hidden gem, fascinating menu of Puerto Rican favourites. The shrimp Mofongo (stuffed giant mashed-plantain dumpling) was amazing!

What an unexpected and delicious find in the middle of NYS! We are familiar with Puerto Rican food and so, of course immediately decided to go there for dinner after our hike in Letchworth. We devoured the sauteed shrimp and my husband's garlic chicken breast. Superb quality and taste! We also had a nice green salad and Fried Green Plantains. There was so much food we didn't consider desert, although everything looked very good. The waitress Glerie was a delight and the room is very comfortable and cool. You should not miss this opportunity to have such well made , good food.

Based on the reviews, we expected a much better experience. The restaurant was small with very basic tables and chairs. It has little athmosphere and feels more like a lunch spot. The service was prompt but the food took forever to come out. It seems like they do a big takeout business which appeared to delay the inhouse service. The food was plentiful but had little flavor. Based on other restaurants that we have visited in both Puerto Rico and Florida, this one misses the mark.

Soooo gooood! I am stuffed. I had the grouper ceviche, sweet plantains and the chicken plantain boat with veggies. Everything was delicious. Everything on the menu looked delicious. Great location. Clean. Clean bathroom (double ply TP is a HUGE bonus!) Congratulations on the expansion. After eating there, I see why you needed more room. Keep up the great work!
