First off, I’m Puerto Rican from Sunset Park & I was eager to try this place out. We used to come here when it was the pizzeria for many years. The new establishment is cleaner than the Cuchifrito on 46 or 47 street. The food was ok, not Puerto Rican style at all which is false advertising. Our food does not taste bland or dry. The ladies were eager to make a sale from us but did not explain to us females that if we sit in the restaurant it’s more money vs if we take the food to go. We found out after we sat down & men were coming in and they explained this to them. Please do not advertise Puerto Rican food when it’s not.
First time here. There's enough space to enjoy your meal with family. Freshly prepared, freshly cut, hot food you can't miss. Will definitely come back.
I think the food price is over charged. I bought some rice with beef stew and two pieces of chicken. Just one box and portion is not that big. It cost me $17.42. I asked how they calculate the price, they said it depends. I don't think I will go back next time.
Just your average serving, flavor and service.
I will go back someday

So I saw the high ratings for this place and wanted to give it a try. The food and the service were both horrible. The lady didn’t understand English that well and gave me more than what I wanted.She was rude to begin with. I asked her for the price before I got my food and she wouldn’t tell me. This meal right here costed me 21 bucks and I could hardly eat it. The only thing that was ok was the rice.
Went yesterday, enticed by the assortment of meat in the showcase window. There was plenty to choose from, chicken, beef, pork and numerous sides. Pics below. I had some oxtails w arroz con gandules, (rice and peas) My plate was pretty large, with 4-5 oxtail pieces and a huge serving of rice and peas w a couple of plantains for $12. The oxtails were well seasoned. The star for me was the rice and peas. I was instantly transported back to Grandma's tiny apartment in the Bronx where we piled in every Sunday after church, eating from TV trays. Def going to get some again to share w my dad, so he can cosign on this being close to his mom's cooking. With so many menu options to choose from I will be back. Take out or eat in. Pleasant staff, clean environment.
The food was very good (try the beef stew) and not very expensive. The place is clean and well air conditioned. It was a pleasant place to sit and eat. The staff was polite and welcoming. It also wasn't overly busy when I went which was a plus.
