I'm from CT and was introduced to Puerto Rican cuisine by my brother-in-law and have been hooked ever since - so I was excited to find this restaurant in Peoria and via Restaurant,com no less! We visited in late September. It is a commercial catering kitchen that does take out. The food especially the Pernil and Mofongo was authentic and sooo delicious! The owner/chef was hospitable and charming and shared with us a taste of his homemade Coquito while we waited and also gave us a taste of the Pernil right out of the oven after 14 hours. It was a wonderful meal, very rich so can't do it too often:). Would be great if they had a place to eat in! PS don't let the location In a mostly empty strip mall scare you!
