***!!!UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW!!!***
Decided to take my family for dinner tonight. I'm so tempted to leave one star but won't. We arrived at 4:50 on Father's Day. There were 5 of us so they said they could only give us a booth near the front door/garbage can. Apparently "this is the only booth we can add a chair to". Since there was no other option at the time we took the booth. It's was nasty hot in the restaurant. We were told "well it's hot outside". While this is correct, one would expect that inside it would be comfortably air cooled. Anyway, we were told that they've added some fans. Obviously they know their air conditioner isn't sufficient.
Let's get past all that and move on over to the food. The tostones were excellent, served with garlic sauce and mayo/ketchup. The carne frita was good but my sides were wrong. I didn't make a bid deal about it. My step-mom also got the wrong sides, she asked for a replacement. Two orders were perfectly correct. Now for the final order, the pernil for my Dad, it didn't come out until all 4 of us were done. They had some lame excuse that they made to much so it was in the oven!?! Well that was not true. They forgot to make it. When it finally came to the table it was 75% fat!!! Wtf!? We are so disappointed. Not one apology. Not even an acknowledgment of an error. Service is lacking and quality food on this occasion was subpar in my opinion.
Review #1
It's about time we have some authentic Puerto Rican food in Vegas! No, I am not Puerto Rican but yes, I am married to one and have been to PR and know how to cook it too.
We've been maybe 4 times and well it's only fair I give them props! We order the same thing each time as it's that good. My husband, Cesar Q. gets the steak with onions and I get the carne frita (fried pork chunks). You order your entree or "protein" and then for an added cost you can choose up to 3 sides at lower prices. The rice and stewed beans are on point as are the maduros (fried sweet plantains). The tostones (flattened and fried plantains) are great with the mayo-ketchup on the side. We also enjoy the fried potato ball.
The location is where the OLD Red Rock movie theater was located if your a local like me, you know where that is (off Decatur and Charleston). Prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. I do feel they nickel and dime you a tad but whatever it's the only authentic PR restaurant in town.
