Beautiful restaurant with beautiful people amazing service wonderful food just the best experience you could have walking and you feel like you're back in Puerto Rico thank you so much I will be in from time to time to get the best food ever.

During the worst of COVID this place took a downturn but they are back up on top. Typical Puerto Rican service, so it's friendly and slow. Unlike other Boricuan restaurants, no one here speaks American English, but that doesn't even slow me down a little. When I've got a taste for chuletas, I'll figure out a way to get them on my plate. Besides, I wouldn't want to eat in a Puerto Rican restaurant where they could only speak English. So because my Spanish isn't very good, I end up ordering more of the different fried dumplinas, pastilillos, and empanadillos than I can eat because I'm never completely sure what's in them. You'd think I'd remember, but it doesn't matter, almost as good reheated the next day. Be careful, it's a dangerous intersection for pedestrians.

I have eaten at most of the restaurants in this area except this one because of the lack of pictures of the food, no website and no menu to look at. Two things will happen today which is restaurant of the week and a Steve stop by. The place is nice looking with a tropical colorful theme. The have a steam table at the counter with some pre made goodness as a visual come on and get something. I ordered the rellenos de papa and the pork jibarito with PR rice. I will admit like the other reviews service was slow for me being the only person in the place and a good 10 minutes before I heard my sandwich sizzling on the grill. The rellenos de papa is basically a ball of mashed potatoes with a ground meat filling fried to a golden brown. This was bland and needed seasoning but still good with a thin crispy shell. The Puerto Rican rice was also bland with pigeon peas but cooked perfect Al Dente and not mushy. The pork jibartio was very good with a nice garlicky flavor. It's this crispy plantain fried nicely, hearty roast pork, cheese, lettuce, tomato and a very garlicky mayo and I mean fresh garlic flavor. This version was the tastiest, meatiest and biggest pork jibartio I have had in town. I enjoyed the food and like other reviewers I'm not going to take stars away for the slow service because I have never been to Puerto Rico and for all I know this is how service is in Puerto Rico. I have a known good place specific foods like pizza, burger etc etc and I think this will be my pork jibartio place because of the garlic Mayo.

The food definitely did not disappoint we loved the fried plantains and sweet plantains as appetizers. My sandwich was amazing and my husband liked his pork chops and my son loved his octopus dish. The flan made me do a happy dance after the first bite. But what really stuck out was the service. Felix was so attentive, so helpful with making decisions on what to order and just incredibly sweet and hospitable. I can't compliment him enough he was the best!
