Emmie RamsdenDecember 16, 2015I love the black beans and yellow rice, fried shrimp, fried plantains, cassava with garlic, chicken and cheese patties, fried pork. The stewed beef and steak tips are tender and delicious.
M3t47 G34rJuly 30, 2016There's a Spanish menu hidden behind the counter. Only order from that. I'll give you a hint: if you are fine with pork (which is a staple of the cuisine), get the Pernil. Also, tostones.
Elias TapleyAugust 21, 2014The goat: succulent, falling off the bone, with salty plantains (instead of salad) on the side.
Piqui BerriosAugust 7, 2014El primo caray se me fue de vacaciones. Really good home cooked style food from el primo Izzy who is everybody's cousin (primo).- Sahil KathawalaJanuary 13, 2014Ean recommends getting the special of the day. Really enjoyed my steak bomb sub. Was the bomb.
The steak tip dinner... that's all you need. And if you like plaintains, ask to substitute the salad with plaintains (green or sweet)! Also you gotta get a Jamaican beef pattie! It's got a kick to it.
Their roasted pork special sub available on Thursdays is the best.- Try the roasted pork sandwich with cheese. It is very tasty.
If you've never been here, go right now. Best fried plantains in the universe, among other tastiness.
Best Puerto Rican food around. Being coming here for the last 20 years. Flavor still the best.
