If you like pre cooked food with pleasant service this is the place for you. Staff is very nice, atmosphere is ok but the food could be given more attention.

Food was cold! Never got our drink. 45 minutes plus to get our food. Chicken tenders were horrible and the kids were the last to get their food. Also, has reheated tostones. This place sucks.

Free parking across the street for this restaurant. Don't waste money on the inflated meter prices!

The food taste like a good home cooked meal. Not the best (the flavors could use more pop) but you'll leave full.
