Reminds me of tje food I have had on visits to Puerto Rico. I had the pernil as my main and it was delicious as were the arroz gandules as the side. Very good service and nice people. It has a nice vibe and look as well. Will definitely return and suggest to others.

Disappointed steak was not cooked as requested. Steak was totally overdone. Informed waiter, told “that is the way the cook does it”. No offer to return or apology. Did not want to spoil the family reunion by complaining.If I had been alone I would have, without any hesitation.Also the music is extremely loud. Unable to hear the person sitting next to you or have a conversation.Unless the poor quality of customer satisfaction and the music is played at a pleasurable level, I will not suggest or recommend this restaurant.

Initially, we were going to be seated at a high table, but we requested a low table and were accommodated right away. After ordering our drinks, we waited a bit longer than expected (15-20 minutes) for the waitress to take our appetizer and dinner orders. However, the service improved from there on. The busboys, though young, were very respectful and attentive. They promptly cleared our table after each course, kept our water glasses filled, and even wiped down our table when they noticed it was wet from our drink glasses. The staff checked on us frequently to make sure we were satisfied and had everything we needed. The food was fantastic and definitely worth the price. The overall experience was incredible, and the ambiance was lively with salsa music playing and a live band performing as we were leaving, allowing guests to dance by their tables. It was a very fun atmosphere!
