I always love the lunch specials . Prices are decent. Definitely try different rive; I prefer the white and yellow rice . The yuca has good consistency along with the stew chicken . Ask for garlic sauce .

Wil Ferrel

Had ropa vieja and mofongo de camarones there and well damn it was great better than expected. Very authentic taste. Recently moved from DC and glad I found this place.

Delicious! You can sample things if you don't know what you want to order! But it's still have d to decide since everything is amazing!

The catering is a great deal, especially for the meats. Pernil is amazing. The plantains are expensive though.
