Took me by surprise and very inviting. Their garlic bread appetizers are delicious. I got the jibarito, which was very tender and delicious. Unlike other jibaritos, this wasn't greasy whatsoever. It didn’t come with the garlic on top, which I love, but that's on me for not asking. I also got the black congri rice. Never had it, but it was different and good. The others in my group had different meals, too, and they loved it as well. Think it was some kind of fajitas. They did look and smell great. I will be coming back and trying out a new dish. Hopefully, they will surprise me again. On another note, they make everything from scratch, so it's fresh, and it may take a while, so plan ahead. The other group that walked in after we were leaving did call ahead for dine in. Must be regulars! You live and learn, and not a bad idea either.Parking: They don't have a parking lot. At least it's free street parking.

The woman begrudgingly showed us to a corner table we should have just left but we didn’t and felt very uncomfortable by the situation. Rather than apologize the woman acted as if we were at fault.
