The Pigeon Pea Soup is Puerto Rican Comfort Food that gives your hungry belly a great big hug. A full meal by itself!
Traditional Puerto Rican food. Large portions so you get your money’s worth. The staff is friendly and mindful. The food is ok - recommend the Creole shrimp with Mofongo
Very authentic flavor! Try the alcapurrias, rellenos de papa, pastelillos and tostones ! Rice with roasted pork is fantastic!
The fried pork chops are gold here! Can't go wrong!
This place reminds my friend of his grandmothers cooking from Puerto Rico. Great Puerto Rican Restaurant . Try the Pork Chops or the Fried Chicken .
Really nice people, and great food. Love the chicken plate and steak jibarito .
The Puerto Rican Omelette is delicious! And served all day!

Carne guisada , nothing else to say...
Shrimp creole , seafood soups , and maduros ! Much more welcoming than it looks from the outside.
Roast pork jibarito is magic.
