Mona Hamouly: They had me at the real sugar cane.
Jennifer S.: A-MAZE-ING churrasco appetizer and sugar cane capirinha! Dissapointing service by the wait staff. Do NOT order white sangria pitchers, order water-it's cheaper and tastes the same.
Tania Platero: Excellent music, great service and awesome Sugar Cane mojitos! My friends and I had an awesome time!
amoolia: Banana mango in a pretzel cone is the ultimate Summer treat. Pricey but keep in mind.. Pureed fruite, purified water, cane sugar.. not cheap!
Jen Digney: This place kicks pinkberry's butt! Three ingredients only- fruit water and cane sugar.
Gilt City Curator: The pretzel cone is fantastic. And for the right combo of sweet and salty, try it with the banana.

Eater: The namesake dish is its specialty: two fantastically flattened frisbees of tostones stuffed like a sandwich with roasted pork, grilled steak, or simply black beans, cheese, and avocados. Read more.
Serious Eats: Hefty plantains are smashed, fried twiced to get extra crispy, then used as the sandwich "bread" for a variety of fillings. We recommend the fried cheese version, deliciously salty and meaty
Natalie Rosario: patacon de pollo with extra sauce- heaven for your mouth.
