“ Coming in, the restaurant was empty. It still took a while for anyone to come and greet us, so we sat ourselves. We ordered Empanadas 5 must try Tostones 4 crispy, but lacked flavor Mofongo pork 4 lacked flavor Mifongo beef 5 Arroz con gandules 4 lacked flavor Cuban Pork 4 moist, but lacked flavor. For a Latin cuisine, it lacked the burst of spices that sets it apart. Drinks were good.. Would we go back? Likely not, many other places to try! Should you try it, sure! It's good enough. ”
“ As a Puerto Rican who knows their way around the kitchen, I’m pretty picky when it comes to comida from the island—but this place blew me away. The yuca fries were perfectly crispy, the grilled chicken sandwich was juicy and packed with flavor, and the coconut mojito? Chef’s kiss. To top it all off, they had a live comedy show that made the whole experience even more memorable. Great food and great laughs—what more could you ask for? Val, the owner, was so warm and welcoming. You can tell he puts his heart into the place, and it shows in every detail. Highly recommend this spot whether you’re craving a taste of home or just want to enjoy a fun night out. I’ll definitely be back! ”
