Everything is incredible. Perfect balance of centex, whole hog, and Hector’s Puerto Rican influence. Come for the beef cheeks, stay for the whole hog but everything is delicious. Don’t sleep on the pork steak special.

Last week I finally got to visit, and they did not disappoint. The staff, the atmosphere, and of course the food were all on point. This place is definitely worth a visit no matter where you live. I will definitely be back. Next time I hope to get a Dino rib…

Visiting from Texas and this place is legit. The beef cheeks, whole hog, and pork steak are to die for.

The staff were very welcoming, helpful and pleasant, answered any questions we had and made good suggestions. We got 2 half chickens, 2 orders of the Barbacoa on tostada's + 4 large sides and drinks. Food was all exceptional, the Barbacoa was fantastic and the Puerto Rican beans and Mac and Cheese were both outstanding. The owner came bye our table and checked in and chatted with us for a few minutes, he was very friendly and interested in our experience and how the food was. We will definitely be back any time we can be. I have seen other reviews bemoaning the prices but I felt the cost was pretty good for everything we got. Highly recommended.

Great food! Highly recommend the tostadas, and the beans are some of the best I’ve had at a BBQ place ever. Barbacoa beef was insane, and paired perfectly with the toppings

I had the Barbacoa sandwich with collards and both were excellent. Hector stopped by our table, checked on us and told us about his future plans. Looking forward to going back.

I would looove to give this place 5 stars.. but I can’t! Read more about why.The vibes of this place are great! Seems like employees are having fun. As you can check out in my videos, the staff is making jokes with clients and keeping everyone happy. The guy on the video is Rudy, thanks for keeping it like this! The music is loud outside which is nice at first but then I think it’s a little too loud but whatever.Speaking about food: my husband loved his brisket taco and was okay about pork. He said the taco meat was tender. He likes that the meat goes on tortillas. Beans and rice are very tasty if you would like to make it unlimited refills!! The taste of the food is like it’s a place in Texas but with a Cuban touch to it.However, the major cons were— they didn’t serve turkey for people like me who don’t eat red meat— the place is self-service yet the tipping system is still in place.— major one for my husband — you cannot try different souces with pork, you can only ask once at the counter and there are no sauces available on the tables.— $60 per two people and I only got Mac and cheese lol— it is windy and napkins outside go all aroundBut the one that killed it for me — my husband and I had a tummy ache after the meal ?

Great food, great staff but most of all the owner/pitmaster is a bastard at cooking.

All the staff were very nice to describe how every item tasted and how it was cooked. The chicken was good and the beef cheeks were excellent. They were so tender and flavorful. We’ll go back!Parking: Parking lot was about 75% full
