★★★★★ 5.0 John Hyde · Sep 2024

I stopped here for lunch to go and was very happy with my meal. I got some kind of pork (I don’t speak Spanish, so that’s the most I know), rice, beans, and plantains! They had a lot of options, the food was hot, the cost was reasonable and the service was fast. I will definitely be back.

I dont like giving places bad reviews but after reading some of the reviews its warranted. I've driven by this place a lot and never parking STRIKE 1, had to park a block away almost blocking bus stop and I was afraid of being towed. Place inside look decent, clean, but lady greated me like I was bothering her. Her overall tone was dry, no smiles or pleasant tone. Finally get the food and eat at home. I got yellow rice and beans with baked chicken, sweet plantain and 1 alcapuria. Rice was good although bland, chicken was ok but was not evenly seasoned. Sweet plantain tasted weird and were not sweet. Almost like they were frozen to preserve them? And the alcapuria had about a tea spoon of meet and it was all kinda bland. Some may like this place but I didn't, and because there is never

I loved it, it's very difficult to find a good mondongo in the city, this was wonderful.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Royan Blackman · Mar 2025

Overpriced overpriced. Food was overpriced, shrimp fried rice and rice and beans cost $41 for medium. Cashier first said 44 and after I paid asked for an additional $3 . I will never go back there. Was there with a baby and Asked to sit and eat the meal we bought, and they said we can’t sit and eat because we ordered to food to go, even though all table and chairs was vacant. Terrible customer service. Shrimp fried rice is $27 with no sides. Side is sold separately
