“ I believe they used to be on Park St at one point. Anywho, I like their food. I just wish they were more consistent with their recipes. I ordered the same thing, a week apart, and it tasted completely different the second time around. (I ordered the rice and accapuria.) I'm not too sure if they take turns cooking, but it would be wise to keep the same chefs, and cook the food the SAME way, every day, so that customers will come back. ”
“ Me and wife tried this place last night. The meals were definitely good size. We ordered the traditional stuff like bistec, beef stew, and lechon. The beef and bistec were soft and the white rice was good. It is good to see another Puerto Rican place at this location. They definitely benefited from previous owners remodeling the whole joint. Recommend you try it out! ”
