Always good food at great prices. The service is fast and friendly plenty of choices on the menu
Well, this place is a small hole in the wall. We went 4/19/2024 at night. We ordered multiple dishes from Sancocho to white rice with and beans with pernil, alcaparras, and white rice and chicken. The food was great. Great puerto rican food. The service was a bit slow, not too many workers, for how much this place gets packed line was out the door and not too many seats available to sit in and dine. But, it doesn't take away from the great food they cook. We will definitely be back.
The food is good the service is good yams is great... It's a grocery store that serves hot Dominican food for lunch... I'll be moving back to this area so I can't wait to visit again
The food is good home cooking! It's a warm home feeling. I chose to dine in and had the experience to vibe with the customers.
IMPORTANT to know: cash only! Tasty Puerto Rican and Dominican food. The mofongo with pork was dense and delicious when broken down and mixed into the sauce. The fried, stuffedpotato and plantain items were tasty. The service is friendly and efficient and the place has a very local, neighborhood vibe.
The best pastelillo I've EVER HAD IN NYC. Tastey, meaty and hot. Crust just right not under cooked or overcooked. The best I had before this is in PR. But for Brooklyn NY this is on another level.. LOVED IT!!!!
Came late on a Thursday night at 9 and there was a line out the door. It moved pretty fast. We had freshly fried porkchop with white rice and beans. The rice was so good on it's own I could have made a meal of just the rice--if you know, you know. The porkchop were perfect. We had relleno de papa and relleno de maduro--also excellent. Tasty, perfectly seasoned and fresh. I'm guessing the amount of traffic keeps the food from sitting around getting stale. Not a fan of the pastelillos--just didn't have the flavor I'm accustomed to. All being said, this is a 24 hour spot that I will be picking up food from on a regular basis. I live a bit far from it but it's worth the drive! Hard to believe the prices are so low. The portions are big.
