Perfect authentic Puerto Rican food. Outstanding staff quality quality quality food love here
The atmosphere is amazing first of all! It's not too crowded and has a separate area for bar and lounge ! We got assisted right away and our waitress knew everything about the menu ! And the food ! Omg ... im very picky with food but the empanadas were awesome and the food arrived in a timely manner . My first time in a Spanish Restaurant & i did NOT regret it , i will be back ! Oh yea did mention the Liquid Marijuana Drink?!...
My husband decided that he wanted to dine here, guess it's been a long time. The service was quick and the drinks were delicious. I ordered one of their specials, a passionfruit martini.....yummy. My husband ordered pork chops with Spanish rice and beans. I ordered a appetizer, you choose from 2 meats and a side for around $13. Guess I was a cheap date. Lol. I got pork, chicken wings (spicy) and tostones. For those who dont know, tostones are fried green plantains that you dip in a tomato and mayonnaise sauce. Its sounds crazy but it is delicious. I cannot tell you how perfectly seasoned and fried the pork chops were. They didnt need any salt and were crispy on the outside and tender inside. The wings were good but not really spicy as I thought they would have been. They were flavorful and had a good deal of sauce covering them. If you haven't visited this place, try it out. If you love pork, this is the place to have them....trust me on that. On certain nights I know they have a DJ, the dancefloor is small but if you're just looking to enjoy yourself, this is the place. Sorry no pics this time, my phone was dead
My first time here. Food is amazing, hands down. I had the tostones as an app, they were cooked to perfection. I got the Chuletas with white rice and beans, the picture says it all. Nice mix of people at the bar and restaurant.
Absolutely love the atmosphere, drinks and food here! The total experience was amazing! Came up from Philly to visit friends and was told about this place. My friends were spot on with this suggestion. All around great place to eat some amazing food!
