As a Puerto Rican this was my choice for an early dinner. The inside is absolutely stunning. The hostess greeted me and sat me down quickly. As I viewed the menu I was glowing with glee to see bacalaitos. Of course I ordered them and they were so crispy and so flavorful. I told myself eat only 2 but I ate 3. I also, ordered the mofongo because that is what they are known for. Wow, presentation is beautiful. It comes out in a pilon. I ordered the shrimp and criollo sauce. Wow, wow, wow! Really, this dish was so pallete pleasing. I felt like my mom cooked it. Yes, that good. The waiter was so nice and attentive. He recommended the sauce which fit perfectly with the shrimps. Overall, I loved this place. When I come back to visit I will return for more.

Instead of reviewing the bill with us, the waitress went straight to charging the card and included an additional tip without explaining that gratuity was already built in. It felt deceptive and avoidable. Food was decent. I won't be returning due to the deceptiveness.

I love Mofongo (the Puerto Rican dish). I get it any chance I can find it because it's so…read moredelicious. Basically, for the uninitiated, Mofongo is mashed plantains (sweet, green/unripe, or mixed) with some meat. It's a Puerto Rican "casserole". This restaurant does a pretty good job. I liked it. But, alas, not quite as good as establishments in PR. Main downside is the price is a little high and service was average. My wife also had a mojito drink that she didn't enjoy at it. Note: They include the tip on your bill. Overall: decent option in Calle Ocho.

Looking for this small restaurant I saw on Yelp on a rainy day. GPS tells me that I have arrived at…read moremy destination but I miss it. If it wasn't for a lone Puerto Rican flag by the door, I almost keep driving and dismiss it as if it was a false Yelp page. Thank God I did not! This little place is tiny, with a counter that sits about four people max and a small table for two. They specialize in takeouts mostly but we were able to snatch that little table for two. From the start, the lady at the counter was super nice and we immediately felt welcomed. We ordered an alcapurria, which for me is something I order to gauge the level of what to expect from our meals. Is it overcooked? Is it undercooked? Is it fried on burnt cooking oil or fresh? How a restaurant serves you an appetizer is very telling of their level of attention to detail. Luckily for us, this appetizer was perfectly cooked and it had a very well seasoned ground beef that was very flavorful. I, of course, ordered a Mofongo with fried pork chunks, which is one of my favorite all time meals while my wife went with her go-to chicken breast with salad and tostones. Both of our meals were very satisfying with a nice authentic Puerto Rican flavor. My mofongo was soft and moist with the nice flavor of green plantains. You would find the flavorful pieces of pork grind mixed in too, just like they make them back at the island. The pork chunks were flavorful but a little too hard and challenging to cut through with the plastic cutlery that we were given. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it way more with a good fork and knife in hand, but nevertheless, I can see myself ordering the exact same dish next time I buy dinner here again. My wife was very happy with her meal too. Overall, we will order to go next time, or for delivery. I am curious to see how this mofongo will travel. One thing I noticed is that they don't serve the mofongo with chicken broth on the side which would probably be a great idea to include, especially on a delivery. Plantains dry up so a side of this could revive it back to its full flavor. I'm very happy to have found this place and I recommend it.

The juices were also amazing, just kinda wish they didn't come in pouches. I really just wish the set up was better. There were 3 tables really close to each other and no chairs to sit on. My daughter and i had to eat our food standing up, so we ended up just taking it to the car. The flies around the food and the tables were insane! Maybe set up something to try and keep them away or put up fans around the tent. Yes, it is a farmers market on the weekends but it makes it really hard for people to want to buy the food since eating afterwards is impossible.
