| - Definitely eat here! The food was delicious. This is a small, family-run restaurant with synthetic, and very tasty, Puerto Rican food. I am not familiar with Puerto Rican food, but my friend who was with me grew up there and says it's just like home. I thought the flavors were fantastic.
Because it was our first time there, the server brought us a small selection of samples which I've never seen a restaurant do. All of samples were delicious.
We ordered fried plantains, Puerto Rican style empanadas (postelillos?), fried chicken, beef stew, rice and beans, mofongo, fried pork chops, and flan. Being non-Purrto Rican, I forget the PR names of those dishes. Most were yummy. There were three of us, and we all left with takeout containers.
I really think people should try this food and support this restaurant. I hope it stays around for a long time. I want to give this place 4.5 stars, but I rounded down because it's not perfect. The fried chicken looked unappetizing, and my friend who ordered it did not eat much of it. The mofongo was a little too garlicky for me, but it was perfect for my PR friend. He said it was better mofongo than he's ever had because he's used to it being dry, but this mofongo was perfect for him.
Overall, you should eat here!!!!
