The carne frita here is fried perfectly, the chicharron de pollo has the perfect amount of garlic (hint: lots), and the arroz con gandules and tostones are on point. Everything here is tasty and possibly even better than some of the originals I had in PR. The owner, Jose, is hilarious and awesome. Have him put on some salsa music while you feast on his mofongos and lechon asado.
