The Chicken Stew, Mofungo, De Rican Sampler, pernil, arroz blanco, habichuelas, tostones, carne guisada, arroz con gandules, and morcilla are highly recommended. The generous portions often satisfy customers to the point that some cannot finish everything in one sitting. Visitors praise the freshly-made empanadas, alcapurrias de guineo, chicken chicharrones, and tostones. Service is welcoming, though some find the service slow. The atmosphere can be loud at times, especially during dinner hours, which may be a concern for some guests.

Recently, customers enjoyed dishes like mofongo w pollo al ajio, Tripleta Sandwich with Tostones, Pastelon, and Relleno de Papa, noting that the food was hot, tasty, lightly seasoned, and not greasy.
