"Everything ordered was delicious - the Pernil Combo 1Lb pork was juicy everything included. The Patacon was fulfilling shared with my boyfriend potion was big enough to share chicken was juicy and cheese was melted!"
"I think the price you pay for the amount and quality of food is definitely worth it! This restaurant is always busy because it's always good and delicious! Worth every penny! My favorite is their Dominican Breakfast, Pechuga, and steak! Don't sleep on this mom & pop shop local business!"
