    Good selection of authentic food from my home, Puerto Rico. Downsides are that the restaraunt is small and it doesn't have a seating for one person (or a couple's table), so if you go alone or with a couple, you'll have a 4 or 6 person table. (which is not bad for a lot of people, but I don't like it. It feels that im consuming too much unnessesary space). The other downside is that their food is sometimes bland, and this is a major crime for me. Being a chef specializing in Seafood and Local Food (PR Food) is dissapointing that the food doesn't have a lot of flavors lime I know it can be. I LOVE flavor, and even though the menu is true to it's roots, it really lacks the "sazon boricua" that I would expect.

    There are very few restaurants that I find the food so good, I write a review about. This is one of those restaurants. I somehow stumbled upon this place while I was working in Minnesota and the food is absolutely delicious. My Puerto Rican friend who has a world class palate, agrees that this is both authentic and delicious. So much so, that for the couple of weeks I was in town, I was there daily for lunch. If I could give this place 12 stars, I would. The staff is very friendly and hospitable and the food is AMAZING!

    First time trying out this restaurant. Customer service was really nice. First time having mofongo. It was different, but good.

    Food was great for my first time trying this type of food. Service was great too. I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try.

    This was the best Puerto Rican food I’ve had in many years. My favorite food were the accapurrias made with guineo and yautia, —a treat because they were soft and super flavorful. I also really enjoyed the arroz con gondules with camarones that were perfectly cooked and seasoned.

    Nice little spot but not the Puerto Rican taste we were hoping for. We have vacationed and lived on the island for years so we had a reference to what we were seeking, this was not it. However, the staff was great and the resturant was quaint.

    The workers where very pleasant. However their food and the price for them do not match. Did not like anything. Except the caldito for the mofongo they nailed that one. But overall I would never come back. This food did no justice for my island . On another note employee's where super nice. Extremely over priced for the quality they offer.
