★★★☆☆ 3.0 Denise A. · Nov 2025

This was our first time here and all the food looked fresh and delicious with constant replenishing from the busy kitchen. We tried the beef empanadas and the alcapauria and liked them both. I would love to try any of thier other dishes, as all looked and smelled so good. The entire place was clean, including the restrooms. Business was constant the whole time we were there. 2 parking lots on either side for off street parking if you can find a space.

OMG This place is too good to be true. It doesn't matter what dish you get I guarantee it is Delicious 😋🤤 Look I travel about 80% for work and have tried different place across the US. This place has to be the best food yet Full of flavor, you choose portions and all at a great price Someone Call DDD

Food was okay, the sorbet they make in house is the true standout here, amazing flavor and perfect texture, its worth going here just to order the sorbet to try all the flavors

stopped by for lunch due to a recommendation from a friend. the place had just opened and already has a steady traffic - which is a great sign. started off w some yellow rice & pernil. didn't initially see any pernil in the front but I guessed they have it in the back only? it's a good thing I'm familiar w the food but my companions I was with would have not known that they were available to even asked for. the rice was a bit mushy. pernil was excellent. not too salty, on the lighter side but that's preferable for me. skin was super crispy! paired it w some maduros (fried plantains) and tostones (fried mashed green plantains). also ordered the fried potato ball. I don't know it's name and kept asking the lady what it's called but the language barrier was thick. nevertheless, we also got

Best Puerto Rican food in the Bridgeport area. Came here for my first time and was not disappointed. Restaurant was clean. Staff was friendly. Prices were very reasonable for the big portions you get. I ordered the plantains, beef empanada, pork / Pernell with rice and beans. Definitely will be back if in the area again.
