I don't live in Virginia but this restaurant is near the airport and I tried it last year, it was amazing. I went back again today and again....still amazing. The food portions are huge and so tasty. The atmosphere is ideal for a Puerto Rican getaway. This restaurant is a definite stop for me whenever I'm in the Norfolk area.

The staff were super friendly and accommodating. The place was clean and the music was on point for the atmosphere. The food was super fresh, hot, and quick to come out. The Cubano was seasoned well and super tasty and came with fries that were salted and crispy. Also ordered empanadas but took them to-go and did not disappoint.
July 2026
The food was seasoned well, but I think this place needs to hire more staff to handle the heavy volume of customers that I witnessed while I was picking up a Too Good To Go order. People had been waiting over 45 minutes for their pick up orders. What food and drink I saw coming out did look fantastic. They seem to be overwhelmed in the kitchen area with their backlog, and wait staff seemed really stressed. I hope they can fix this and bounce back as the food I had was delicious.
