    The workers are super nice and their rotisserie chicken combos are on point! Great place to grab lunch near Rutgers.

    Lunch specials for under 10 bucks and it's a lot of food (1 bg serving of main dish and heapings of 2 sides) I went for ropa vieja, arroz mexicana and maduros. Riquisimo!!!

    Ofrecen un especial de lunch: una entrada y dos sides por $7.95. El Pernil es brutalmente bueno, espaldilla de puerco asado con salsa de limon y ajo, acompañado de arroz blanco y frijoles negros 5/5
