I always stop by when I’m in town. My favorite place and never disappoints. We were attended as soon as we came in and the hostess, greeted us. Quickly came over and took our drinks and arrived with menus. She had a smile and was ready to answer any questions. Food was hot when it arrived and she checked on us periodically, to see if we needed anything.
Best place to get Puerto Rican food. The alcupurias were amazing, they were crispy and soft. The shrimp Mofongo didn't disappoint. I do not need to go all the way to Washington Heights I can just go here instead. The pernil was a little bit dry but it was good. I wish they gave us some sauces but other then that id come back again.
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and my dad was proud of our Taino Indio heritage. I found this place on google maps and I am soo very happy I did.
Sunday takeout and I got the best alcapurria de yuca I've had in ages, a great beef empanada and some carne frita (fried pork chunks) with a perfect arroz con gandules and some 🥑. Everything was awesome.. The alcapurria was warm, crispy on the outside and perfectly seasoned, the pork had the right flavor and was not over cooked.. I also got some amazing sancocho since its cold. 🍲🍴
This place genuinely reminded me of a restaurant in the mountains of Cayey where my parents would take me to on Sundays after church. Excellent Food, atmosphere and service. Don't you miss it.
Great food, great prices and amazing service!
Arelis thank you for an amazing experience!
Oh wow. I love this place. The food was delicious. The servers were amazing. The music was so good and enjoyable. I filled my belly and my heart. Beautiful little place. A must go see and taste
Always a pleasure when visiting this establishment. Very family oriented place of business, and is a phenomenal example of what a proper restaurant is supposed to look like, and also how one is supposed to function. It's popularity sores with each individuals word of mouth even stronger these days due to its taste, as well as gourmet food presentation, along with its prices; which are amazing for the all around quality of everything. They've been placed in the Mayor's New video commemorating the best restaurants and landmarks in New Jersey recently 👌🏾 as well. The ladies can make your day in 2.3 seconds on a bad day.
The absolute best boricua food I've come across in Jersey so far. An absolute must-have if your looking for that authentic taste of the island but at home. And they serve breakfast too! If you have a chance do stop by you won't be disappointed.. ask for coffee too
