My daughter and son in law brought me here for the first time to eat early dinner. We were greeted by Niky she was wonderful all the way till the moment we exit. She helped us with recommendations with drinks and food because the Puerto Rican choices on their menu were all so wonderful that it was hard on top of that it was over the top delicioso!

It is a wait!!! The food is obviously made fresh and as ordered, so know it will be a 30-45min wait for entrees. Call it in if you are in a lunch break. The trifongo was delicious, and my skirts steak cooked as desired. Will come back again! Thanks for honoring the military!

Lee Santiago

Food was authentic and packed with flavors! Various kinds of mofongos and PR dishes. The service staff are super friendly and attentive. Kept us posted on the status of the food and made sure we had everything, that we enjoyed the food and checked on us frequently. Clean dining room area and restrooms. They let loose and enjoyed nice karaoke as well... Even handed the mic over to some of the patrons as well.. What a treat it was to have found this restaurant!
