This food is absolutely disgusting…. The chicken smells worst then it taste. It smells as if it was sitting in grease all day. The rest is super salty I’m pretty sure my blood pressure will be high after eating this.
We stumbled upon this place after driving to Camden, and decided to give it a try. Food was good, though my mofongo and pork tasted slightly overcooked. I was not the biggest fan of the guava and cheese patty due to the amount of hardened cheese, but I liked the beef patty a lot. My husband ordered one of their specials, and the food was delicious, especially the steak. It was a great value for the amount of food we had, and we ended up taking enough home for lunch the following day. Service was good. One downside is most of the servers seemed to only speak Spanish, which lead to some ordering confusion, but was fine in the end. The atmosphere is very casual, and you can tell that they have regulars. They have a bar in the back that serves cans and bottles of beer. We will definitely be
Authentic Puerto Rican food!! Love the fact that they give you a cup of Puerto Rican chicken noodle soup as you get seated to start with. Man, reminded me of Puerto Rico and my grandmothers house and cooking! I had the chicharrón de cerdo with white rice and beans … delicious!! Beans are superb!!! My wife had the Cuban sandwich but with tostones in placement of bread because my wife is gluten sensitive! Great alternative! Definitely will be back. It’s Camden but easy to get in and out of. The area isn’t bad at all.
The atmosphere here makes you feel like you’re in Puerto Rico! From the music to the murals, it’s very inviting. The service was just average. Sometimes, the waiter was attentive but other times, it took a while for him to come to our table, despite the restaurant not being busy. Right when you sit down, they give you homemade chicken soup. It was really good, however, they do not take the bones out of the chicken, so there’s lots of bones. You have to make sure you’re looking down at the spoon before you put the soup in your mouth or you’ll be eating bones without realizing. The empanadas were good and had a good amount of filling in them. However, when my pernil platter arrived, it was cold. I asked the waiter if they could heat it up more. After a few minutes later, the waiter brought b
This time, we decided to eat in the restaurant. I asked for Cuajito con guineitos, and my mom ordered the chicken soup. Food was delicious. Just two things I didn't get. 1) Menu stated 18% gratuity for 6 or more parties... we were just 2, and the 18% showed on the receipt. The server was fantastic, and I wouldn't mind giving a good tip on my own instead of being imposed. 2) The party next table had a small dog in a stroller... didn't know dogs/pets are allowed in restaurants. Next time, I'd order to go as usual.
