Usually rice is a side dish. Here it's the main dish, and meat is a side. I got the stew beef and a lemonade. It gave me comfort food vibes. I'll be back because it was good, smoking hot, and filling. They advertise a lunch special for $4.99 which is wild. Service was fast and staff was great.

They're misleading people, They say that el provocon at this address is all you can eat, but when I get there, they gave me 1 piece of chicken one scoop of rice for $11.
First off, the lady serving was sick and rude. The food was cold, beef was not cooked like it’s normally cooked and instead of salad, they normally always give, it was hard cabbage. It also felt colder inside the establishment than outside and it was 27 degrees outside. I’m very disappointed as I’ve been going there for a long time.

I placed an order for Costillas was told that they were out of costillas I said can you please cancel it. They insisted I had to cancel on uber instead of from the store. I was charged $40 upon canceling for food I did not receive and that they did not even have in stock. If you need to cancel an order from here DO NOT cancel on your end or you will be charged full price for food they don’t even have in store.

Most of them speak very little to no english at all. They get mad when you come in and are not Spanish speaking. The food is kept behind glass like at a buffet. The cook with alot of pork so be careful...the plantain had pork chops in it...they use the grease to cook it. The price is so expensive you would not want to purchase anything anyways. $16.00 for a whole small chicken...

Every time I come here they change me a different price.. Today she gave me a platter full of white rice and beans with four wings dings.. The small ones too.. The wings were old burnt and cold... They charged me $13. The salad was sitting in the water. They didn’t have any dressing for the salad so they dashed it with water.. It was terrible..

Disappointed and Overpriced — Save Your Money!
Tried this place for the first time, and sadly, it’ll be the last. I ordered the rotisserie chicken with wasacaca sauce — it showed up without the sauce. I asked for beef pastelillos, got plain, dry, unseasoned chicken ones instead. Major letdown.
Then came the slow-roasted pork with rice ($16) and an extra side of pork ($14) — some seasoning, but definitely not worth those prices. For what I paid, I expected flavor, quality, and accuracy. Got none of the above.
If you’re craving good Spanish food, do yourself a favor and stick with Spanish Island. This place was a total miss.
