This food truck definitely exceeded my expectations. The pernil (pork shoulder) was moist and had a…read moresmoky BBQ flavor. The rice and beans was, as always, very satisfying. You get a choice of yellow or white rice. I highly recommend yellow. The beans are served over the rice and the bean juices add a ton of flavor and moisture to the rice. The beans are easily worth the extra $2. The Paradise Plate also comes with a little side salad of spinach, tomato and grated carrot with a vinaigrette dressing. The portion was enough to share between 2 people. We also got the sweet plantains. They were crispy on the edges and soft in the middle - exactly the way it should be. I HIGHLY recommend this food truck, especially if you haven't had Puerto Rican food!!

The mofongo was incredibly soft and flavorful; I honestly couldn't stop eating it. I also tried the birria tacos. The hot sauce was great, but the dipping sauce could use a bit more flavor. That said, I'll definitely be back for the mofongo dishes. It was that memorable I'm still thinking about it!

I went with Edwin's recommendation of Pernil Asado as my main course, it was incredible. Emily sent over some coconut shrimp, served in a coconut style platter on skewers, also delicious. Everyone loved their drinks, their food, and the atmosphere. Such a clean and fun restaurant, the only problem is trying to choose which dish to go with. Bring friends so you can share!!!!

Their food, service and hospitality has been always been five star. So when something is so good why change, just expand. We visit the Huntington location quite often. We start with Pina Coladas and Cuba Libre (rum and coke), for appetizers the chorizo and tamales. While there is an assortment of meats, fish and chicken, our favorite is the ropa veija, tender shredded beef in a wonderful sauce with the best steamed white rice and of course madoros. Another hit of ours is the breaded steak and my new favorite, the broiled flounder. Our next dish will be the paella. Just need to call ahead. The Flan, Tres Leches cake and Cuban coffee is always a good ending. The service is always top notch. Red and white table cloths. A bar area with a separate dining area. You may even be lucky to catch a unique celebration song and dance by one of the staff. Make sure you have your camera ready. And a special thank you to Raul. The last time we were there, I tried a new dish that was good, but not something that enjoyed. Don't you know it, Raul surprised me and sent me home with a serving of Ropa Vieja. Thank you Raul.

Overall great experience!…read more It was my first time visiting this restaurant. The staff was very friendly. The ambience was very comforting. Good music very nice crowd. Awesome drinks! The alcapurria was not greasy at all! The Bistec Encebollado was done medium and actually came out flavorful and medium! Fresh onions, and the arroz con gondulez were not salty or hard. from the bottom of my heart, this was a very at home meal for the culture! I heard they do a karaoke night! I 100% will be back!

They even have an event area, complete with a dominos table right in the center, and a gorgeous outdoor space that's perfect for relaxing.
