★★★☆☆ 3.0 Maria Rojano · Aug 2025

Food came out pretty quick. Hot Cheeto ball lacked flavor. Didn’t really taste the hot Cheetos either. The Tostones Locos: tostones were a bit stale and meat was really dry and thought to chew. The pico de gallo on top was good and I added some mayo-ketchup for extra flavor. PR cup- rice is good, meat was dry but the tostones were nice a crispy. Pastelillos de carne were pretty decent.

Ponce port feel good atmosphere. Leo is the hospitality guru and cares for everyone to make it authentic. Many tanks from the table.

Giving 5 stars because of service - I got accidentally overcharged, and they fixed it right away. The food is *pretty good* - the frituras weren't very fresh, and the flavor was a little lacking, but you could tell it was Puerto Rican cooking. Prices are affordable, and unlike some of the food trucks, it isn't super-greasy slop. If you're in the area and need a quick bite, I'd definitely recommend it for that. Will definitely be back! Update: Pincho de cerdo - 8/10: so. much. pork. And the sauce is on point. The pork needed more sofrito, though - by itself didn't have a lot of flavor. And a slice of bread would be nice. Pastelillo - 6/10: crispy yet not greasy. Didn't look like a pastelillo, but ok. But again, the carne molida had no sofrito. Very bland without mayoketchup. Sorullo -
