Get the potage de garbanzo...smoky and hearty enough for a light meal.
Vaca Frita on Wednesdays, Boliche on Saturdays, key lime pie always.
Yoni ZloczewskiMarch 19, 2019Pricey for what it is but a good option in the area with some unique spins on familiar fan fare
Briszeida BullockDecember 26, 2016Took an hour to get an appetizer and an entree. The restaurant was not packed. The worse is having to wait that long and the server didn't not even check in with us. The guava cheesecake was not good
Ayaka ItoJanuary 6, 2017The BEST Cuban sandwich, pernil, flan, the croquettes are to die for and the breakfast empanadas (with chorizo) is my all time favorite!!!
Roger 💾July 10, 2010Can't beat the quarter chicken, rice, beans, mojo sauce, plantains combo for $6... so much flavor!
Matthew LigottiMarch 24, 2018Not worth the wait. Reserved table sat there for 45 minutes while a massive line formed. Hostess can’t run the front door and the food took forever.
If you oust me as mayor of Pilar I will treat you to your next dinner there.
- For something hearty, order the Tortilla Espanola with chorizo.
