Drove by this place one day by accident and made a note to come back. Glad I did. Some of the best food I've ever had and the... decor was warming. A great view of the neighborhood and beautiful art inside. Jackie was fun and a great server. Please try theguava and cheese empanada and the fried rice! Read more

Super authentic! Great waitress, she was patient and helped me understand the menu. Awesome Rice and plantain sandwich!
We absolutely loved the food here! We found it by accident but cant wait to come back. It's small and cozy. We ordered empanadas... of 3 different kinds with black rice. A coffee with milk (cafe con Leche), a mango smoothie and I think an order of ropa vieja.Everything was so fresh and full of flavor! Read more
The presentation is fun and colorful, there is plenty of seating inside music playing in the background. this is a family... oriented restaurant i came with a party of 5 but I would come here with friends. the service is great the waitress and waiterwork together and they do a great job. we were seated right away i think you can sit anywhere you'd like. our order was takenright away as far as drink she brought them right away. we looked at the menu and ordered Ropa vieja sandwiches (so good) Ipaired it with the green garlic sauce they have and it just intensified the flavor the sandwich is in my opinion large for areg. I was full with half.. We ordered a papa rellena for our 1 year old he loved it chicken tenders for the girls it comes withfries. we also ordered Arroz Amarillo it was so good and a hint of butter which we loved. tons of left overs the prices youcan't beat I was suprised we didn't pay more. this restaurant is kid friend they offer high chairs for young kids. I loved itthe food is delicious and that garlic green sauce must emphasize how good it was it takes your food to the next level. Read more
This place has been slowly declining. I've been eating at this establish since it was a corner store with no seating. My last... steak jibarito was full of onions, after I told them I had an allium allergy and not to put onions on it. The steak wasn'tseasoned anywhere neat what im accustomed from getting from them. And on top of that the food was cold. I'll give them one morechance to make it right, after that they may lose a decade old customer who has brought them atleast 50 customers of the years. Read more
