Had to use my broken Spanglish to point out what I wanted but it got the job done. Portions are enormous and the food is the real deal.

I've been coming here for years & it never disappoints mainly probably because I always just get Pastellitos to go , they are delicious the Chicken , meat & cheese very good & they are fried when ordered. I finally gave the food a try got some Moro rice, Pollo guisado , beans & salad ... yumm the Moro w chicken so good must be combined in that great sauce goes well w the Beans & salad. Next time around tried the Steak guisado , salad & beans, the Steak was delicious, very flavorful went well with the salad & some white rice. I like to grab just White rice every so often very good rice perfect addition when u don't feel like cooking any. Service for the most has always been good & quick, price wise u certainly get a good value for your money. Small location not much on the ambiance but good to go. Good local spot , good prices forth the try!

Really good. We ordered the pernil lunch special for $10 which came with white rice and beans. Tasty, moist and fresh. The beef empanadas were the best and crispiest I have ever ordered. Super moist inside. You don't even need any hot sauce. Didn't take a pic because we devoured the food, but we will be back!

This is a hidden little gem of a place. Their combo meals are amazing and so worth the money. Keep in mind all their combos are $2 more than said price on menu. My whole family is obsessed with the food their, especially their pernil and potato salad and my family is super chinese! Their beef stew is so flavorful and the rice and beans....Ohmigod so good. They forgot to put the pickled onions on my mangu, but that didn't stop me from eating it all. There is no sit down and everything is take out. If your Spanish isn't so great, make sure your point game is on!
