Customer Reviews
The mofongo balls were not representative of traditional mofongo and lacked the expected pork filling. The sandwich was decent, but its size felt small and could have been prepared way better at home. The empanadas did not meet the expectations of an authentic beef empanada. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place for those seeking authentic Puerto Rican cuisine.
When I looked this place up on Google, the information wasn’t clear. Everything makes it seem like a restaurant where you can walk in, sit down, and eat, but that’s not the case: it’s only a food pickup spot. That was the first surprise when I got there, because I had made the effort to come expecting a different kind of experience. The food I received was rice with small pieces of sausage, shredded pork, and fried plantains. The portion wasn’t bad, but the taste was quite salty for me. The cost was $22, and at the end of the order there’s also the option to leave a tip—which stood out to me, since there’s no table service involved. In short, it wasn’t so much a bad experience as a confusing one: I expected one thing and ended up with something completely different. That’s why I think it
They were so accommodating especially when I had to change my order from pick up to delivery and on a super busy night. Really appreciated all the effort and everyone loved the food and I felt like the portion size was decent for the price (especially the pastelitos!).
Great food. Nicely seasoned almost like grandma’s. Best beans. Also I got “pegao” as requested. The maduros were nice and sweet
The BEEF & CHEESE PASTELILLO is terrible, the cheese is like nacho cheese and the ground meat was not delicious. The pernil was dry and lacked taste, the tostones were disappointing. The mofongo bites were fine but they were sweet not savory. The beef stew and the side of habichuelas were the only things good, the rest was ok. Overall, I wouldn't buy from here again.
