It was great. I was hoping there was more traffic of people since it was late Friday night. But I guess most people were ordering online when my husband went there for the first time. The was was great and definitely filling. They also made great leftovers for the following day since we ordered two meals as I wanted to try the vegetarian and the chicken options separately.

DELICIOUS HIDDEN GEM! (It really is hidden! It’s in the gas station plaza) Oh my gosh. The food here. INCREDIBLE. the plantains are made fresh and pounded to perfection in the pilon. Definitely recommend the mofongo! The rice bowl was super flavorful I got mine with shrimp and I loved the 2 sauces they slather all over! They’re offering flan now and it was so sweet and good 12/10 recommend this cozy little spot!

Some of the best Puerto Rican food and mofongo I’ve had! It’s awesome to have this so close to me and available on the delivery apps. They’re literally peeling the plantains and making all of the empanadas in the back, so this is as fresh as it gets! The place was super clean, and you could see that the counter they’re preparing the food on was clean as well. I’m already craving another meal from here!

Once you walk into this place the smell tell you that it’s just going to be delicious! They let me try the sweet chili chicken. My husband has trifongo and the pernil taste amazing! He loves the whole dish! I ordered a mofongo with crispy sweet chili chicken and it’s so so so delicious! The amount of chicken you get surpasses what I expected!

If you're looking for authentic Puerto Rican food, this is the right place to go. The seasoning is on dot and the vanilla flan was just perfect. I am from New York, and it's really difficult to find such authentic food in another place other than in the city. I am very picky with mofongo and this was just like home!
