So happy to have found this restaurant. Their food is flavorful and delicious. We had the Beef Pastelillio. It is hot and crunchy with yummy dip. We also had the Jibarito Lechon Plate and Pollo Frito Plate. Delicious. Our server was very nice and friendly. The restaurant was nice and clean. We will be back.

This is not an authentic Puerto Rican restaurant food. I was so surprised when they gave me my Mofongo. It looks like a birthday cake with beef on top. The food was so salty that I did not eat it. I order a platter and it was also very salty too. It appeared the oil they used appeared to not be cleaned and was burned. I don’t know how people can give a five star to this restaurant when the food was the worst food ever had , not really Puerto Rican or Dominican food. The service was OK, but it was not to my expectation ,unfortunately I think this is more of a tourist trap. I will never go back and I’m in from out of town who travels all over the world. A Mofongo supposed to be with meat inside like a Cuchifrito restaurant. it is just unfortunately that I don’t think they know how to really

Great authentic Puerto Rican Food. Pernil (pork) cooked to perfection and the mofongo the same. Good service and spacious seating area indoor or outdoors. Plenty of parking also

As other reviewers said, don’t be fooled by the building. It’s a restaurant in a night club. We came for lunch so was not crowded and music was not loud , just odd to have lunch right beside a dance floor. Ignoring the dance floor and low ceilings and dimmer lights, the food was excellent. Everything we ordered was amazing. Already trying to plan a next visit.

HORRIBLE service with long wait times. I am a PR and was so excited to go here for my bday. The food was very underwhelming (burnt alcapurria with no flavor, extremely salty steak in my mofongo). We will never be returning! What a shame😭.
