Customer Reviews
The food here is very delicious. Great service and good prices. I got grilled chicken, steak and shrimp from here and everything was excellent.
Ive came here previous times which were all great but this past week I came here to eat with my husband and it was really disappointing. The plantains as you can see look soggy as if they were way past ripe, he asked for a well done steak and it was still red with blood inside, the beans on my plate were way too salty, and the whole meal was just off as if they had a different cook that day or something. Like I said,been here bout 7-8 times and it’s always been good but this time it was a waste of money 😣 then the flies didnt help at all.
When I first started going over 4 years ago the service was good.Now they are rude especially the ones who have been there for years. I ordered ribs,French fries and salad.dine in.The young lady asked do I want something to drink I said yes just water please..My food comes out and what do I get..ribs ends or tips but definitely not ribs with the bone..I told the girl I ordered ribs not ends.she tells me when we bring the food out you look at it we can't take it back.I said I ordered ribs not ends so to make me feel better she brings me out 1 over cooked rib with the bone as if I was supposed to jump for joy..I really didn't want to get disrespectful so I ate some fries grab my to go trays and left..mind you I never received that water I asked for in the beginning of my visit there🙄 I ho
2/20/2026 I have eaten here many times usually their rotisserie chicken,fries and rice and it is good but recently the last 2 times ive had it everything taste very salty including the green sauce that they give you and i get a headache after eating a small portion of the food and it wasnt like that before.. I dont know who is doing the seasoning now but they are very heavy handed with the salt the chicken taste salty, they add salt to the fries after its cooked and the yellow rice taste salty. Im not a huge fan of a stronge taste of salt especially if im getting headache after i eat the food. I will wait a while before i try the food again but they really need to lighten up on the amount of salt they use....
I’ve been to this establishment many times and usually haven’t had major issues, but my most recent experiences left me uncomfortable and disappointed. On multiple occasions when I order ribs, I’m given the end pieces, which are consistently tougher than the rest. It started to feel intentional, especially since I’m American and there is often a language barrier when I call, Spanish is spoken first, and I usually have to wait for an English-speaking employee. Recently, my husband picked up food, but I stopped in afterward to purchase extra salad dressing. I made it clear that I was willing to pay for it, yet the employee told me, “You no order food,” and refused. When I repeated that I would pay, she said, “It’s not about the money,” which was confusing and made the interaction uncomfort
