“I believe this is a family owned business. Definitely some hard working staff and very flavorful dishes. We had the pastelitos for appetizers and one steak jibarito and a chicken jibarito. Overall a great place to stop for some good Puerto Rican food.”
“Absolutely loved this place. It gave family home vibes. Food was very good. Staff very friendly. Good amount of space. Plenty of street parking I look forward to going again.”
“Amazing service and food! Everything was made to order as well.”
“We just happened to be driving down Western seen the spot and stopped wasn't very busy service was quick food was good. We spent around $15 per person.”
“Nice little neighborhood spot. Service was great, food was delicious. The Tostones rellenos are a must try, and their parcha was nice and refreshing. Will be coming back.”
“Lo mejor es el jibarito. Los tostones no están mal. No recomiendo los appetizers, no me gustaron.”
“This was my first visit to this restaurant and possibly my last. The server we had barely spoke English so we had to ask the other co workers to help with ordering of our food etc . Some of us ordered the steak jabritos plate others ordered steak mofongo And for drinks It's a BYOB restaurant. But FYI we were informed by the sever you can only bring beer to the restaurant. So some had beer others had water. The food came shortly and it was mediocre to me. So we really didn't order anything else just paid the bill and left. It wasn't a terrible experience but I just dont know if it a place I would want to go back to.”
