the food was amazing. staff very friendly. the owners is really nice guy. had some beers there also. plus the customers who were there were all very friendly. Great atmosphere.
Nice clean , and the food was so mmmmmm so so delicious , will definitely be coming here again , so many choices and the apitizers are on point with flavor and taste , and the drinks are great as well
This is my third time here. I kept coming saying ok let me try one more time. Unfortunately I just can't go there again. I asked for Mofongo de Churrasco. I get a piece of meat with a tiny piece of Mofongo on the side. I almost cry when I saw my plate. If I wanted Churrasco with a side I would had ordered that. I expected better from the cook but unfortunately they are not Boricua. Mofongo de Churrasco is a good size of Mofongo and in the middle of it pieces of Churrasco etc, even integrated etc would had been great. Also the flavor of it all was horrible. This was more like a cheap skirt steak. My cousin had bistec encebollado. Was bad as well. Was sooo thin n cheap flavor. Looked more like a sandwich steak. The appetizer of tostones with ropa vieja, omg baaad. The ropa vieja was flavorless tick and rubbery making the tostones sooo saggy and wet. Ugh im just so disappointed. Is embarrassing at the same time going to eat "Boricua" food and being the opposite. The server that heard my complaint told me to give them one more chance. I just cant
The food is wonderfully delicious also the atmosphere & music awesome my favorite spot. The workers very polite and friendly ! Will recommend all my friends & family
I've been in the place a few times, it's a nice local people spot, it's a nice place to bring a few people and eat their amazing food, their drinks are good too.
