Small location but the ambiance and vibe was priceless. The food was delicious, very generous in the servings. The food had flavor which I truly enjoyed. It was the first time going to the place and I would go back when I’m back in Boston. They accept cash or credit; even have an atm inside.

Place could definitely use a facelift, but get that it’s part of the charm. Our food was great, good value and excellent service. Didn’t feel rushed when ordering and guy answered all our questions. Music was a little loud. Sangria drink needs to be way better (assuming it’s concentrate & liquor). Got the seafood salad and the ribs. Tostones were fantastic. House made spicy vinegar was 10/10. Just being a bit critical because how much I liked the place. Must go if you’re in the area. Definitely coming back.

Absolutely delicious food! Chicharrones were crispy and juicy. Nice variety with the sauces. Tripe was tender with a rich broth. Fun atmosphere, friendly staff. Nice value too.
