Everyone is spot on that the food tastes of family, home, memories, good days. I love the artwork and the fact that the menu of the day is verbally communicated. Tells me what is made is fresh & sincere. Guests need to release expectations, support a local business, and the chef(s) will not disappoint! Thank you kindness and love on a plate. Shameless plug: I do hope the salads return to the entrees, but I'll be back regardless.

Every time I grab a bite, I’m a immediately brought back to mom‘s and my abuelita’s house. The food is always on point. But be ready to wait sometimes, as it does have a vibe of ordering in Puerto Rico. If you’re in a rush, this might not be the place for you. But if you want some slow cooked food that fills your belly and makes your Corazon feel full, this is the spot.

My loved ones and I have dined here several times. You can tell the staff here is VERY DEDICATED AND HARDWORKING. …..HOWEVER management needs to do better. It’s clear that management/new owners are not investing in the success of the restaurant and staff. They have one person doing everything, from hosting to bartending to taking orders to food running. She does an amazing job however it causes unnecessary delays in the dining experience.

My last time here...
