Maritza M: Amazing food!! Oven roasted pork with red beans and white rice are delicious! Tostones are amazing with the garlic dipping sauce.
C J: Keep in mind the dishes change daily - dishes recommended on Foursquare might not be on the menu! That said, the "Puerto Rican lasagna" is awesome (beef and plantain).
Dana Diamond: Steak & sweet plantains are amazing. Also best yellow rice and beans!!

Calvin Multanen: The food and drinks are fantastic. Good service and great value. Try the plantain with ropa vieja
Leila: The dorado stuffed aguacate was nice. They give complementary bacalaitos, plantain soup and chichaito. The best part was the coqui tres leche!
Esther Camacho: The avocado with Dorado fish and tostones de pana is out of this world. I am going back again.:-)

Eduardo: Try the piononos if you like sweet plantain and of course las alcapurrias. Be patient because is always a line.
Ilsairis Falcon Torres: The food is great. Be patient, the waiting time is long. Food is made on the spot as you order. Sweet plantain, piononos are delicious as well as the Alcapurrias, bacalitos and the empanadillas!!!!!
Leigh Perretta: Get anything w/carne, the beef is the best on the strip. Pinchos come with crispy dough instead of plain French bread. Everything is hand made to order so the wait can be long, but SO worth it.
Deborah B: Seafood mofongos and skirt steak with tostones was to die for! Tostones tasted nothing like the ones in the states.
Chris Pollone: A small, hole-in-the-wall bar with amazing food. Get the steak rice. Mofongo. Tostones. Fish. Anything is great, but definitely steak rice.
Karen Schwarz: Amazing find ... small & intimate place with delicious food and super friendly & helpful staff! So good, we returned for a second meal while staying nearby. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Jennifer Uff.: Here for the 2nd time in 3 days. The octopus and tostones were one of the best things I've ever eaten IN LIFE. Triple tail fish also awesome. Rice & beans = the best. Ask for Lisa as your server.
Paco MD FACS: They change the menu daily. The avocado salad, and the vaca frita were to die for! The empanadas I can't even start. I don't even like tostones but in here, damn!!! C'est manifique!
Jessie Catana: Best meal that I've had in PR, hands down. Everything was DIVINE

Jeffrey Worthen: Get there early (before 7:30pm) or be prepared for a lengthy wait. Steak and congris is excellent. Amarillos and tostones are very good too.
aMerryPrankster: Delicious congris (literally means "with gray"- when black beans are cooked with white rice) and maduros (sweet plantains). The Cuban picadillo (ground beef) was yum! Skip the ceviche appetizer.
Victor Tran: Their rice plates are delicious. They are made to order. It is fresh and worth the wait. Best deal also.

Jessica Eckman: We were told this was the best Puerto Rican food in town and it definitely didn't disappoint. Get: Mashed plantains & beef, surf & turf, big pork chop, & the fish/shrimp soup!
Carlos W Pizarro: Excellent place! The service was very good. The food was outstanding. Had "Mofongo relleno de churrasco" stuffed plantain with steak and it was outstandidng
Rebecca Maldonado: We made reservations for a group of over 40 - very attentive staff, hot and delicious appetizers every 30 minutes. Their sangría and mojitos are delicious. Beautiful decor; bright and vibrant. 👍
