I like the meat options and prices mostly. Aside from that, I don't buy anything else unless the supermarkets closer to me cost more or don't have the merchandise. For example Kraft Deluxe American Cheese is better priced here and they have better and more bread options than the other supermarkets & Target nearby.

So I might be a bit biased because I'm half Ecuadorian, but I have to leave a little love for this establishment. The other half is Puerto Rican, but my mother who is the Ecuadorian one, has been living in Puerto Rico longer than I have been alive, so I'm more in tune with my Puerto Rican side because of this. Nonetheless, I have Ecuadorian family and have grown up eating Ecuadorian cuisine. I rarely see and get to go to Ecuadorian restaurants so when I saw this spot my eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. I was only in the area because of my job and having to visit another one of our sites. One dish I always get at an Ecuadorian restaurant is, CALDO DE BOLA, because it reminds me of my godmother/aunt's food and loving to eat it growing up. I'm so mad I overlooked it on the menu. Mind you, I was looking for it too! But I ended up getting my favorite food of all time, POLLO GUISADO (they call it, Seco De Gallina). It was soooooooooo freaking good! For people who don't like cilantro because it tastes like soap, I feel bad for you. YUMMMMMMMM AF! Now I can't wait to visit this site again because I'm getting my CALDO DE BOLA next time. I went on a Tuesday during lunch hours so the service was attentive. The only issue I have is paying a lot for "cheap" food. Especially if i know how to make it and that it doesn't cost that much to make. For example, rice & beans should not cost no one's $9! The most I'd charge for that is $6. But I don't run a restaurant. And usually I'll spend $10 on lunch, I had to pay dinner prices. So it would be helpful if this place had lunch specials. Thank you Kuchara....

First off the entrance isn't on Worth Street, it's on Lafayette. Be prepared to go through metal detectors when you arrive. As soon as you walk in the main room to apply for your birth certificate is right there in lobby. If you just want that, go there but all other services go further in. There was a guy there directing people where to go. I specifically told him I needed to go to room 133 but he just threw me on the line with everyone else. When I got to the front of the line and was at a kiosk is where a worker told me I was on the wrong line. So I finally made my way to room 133 waited on two lines. One reviewed my paperwork and the other to pay for it. But it didn't matter because I ended up having to redo the entire application form 3 times. They were extremely technical and petty with the way the form had to be filled out. So now I have to wait 6-8 weeks for them to send me the certificate.

It's an SRO (Single Room Occupancy) called ADAMS HOUSE. Not Harlem House. Your own room work community bathrooms. No kitchen!

Not a long line here yet today. Beautiful new building and nice court officers.
