Don't sleep on this place if you're in the area!

Got here and the place looks beautiful inside, sat down and began to watch everyone and anyone enter and exit the kitchen. Anyone and everyone bring food in and out to guest Open toe shoes entering and exiting the kitchen No hair nets No one wearing gloves except one guy but that same guy was wiping his sweat w his hands that had the gloves. We did not wait until the food got there, we RAN OUT. HAD HIGH HOPES, sadly this was my experience.

The dining area is 'family style' which is kool! I got mine 'to go' because I miss my sofa. The food was onpoint!!! The bacalao and the rice had great flavor (5). I was too tired/sleepy to write a review after I ate. I will definitely return, maybe I'll give 'family style' a try.

Love this place!! Great service! Amazing delicious home made food!…read more I read about this on IG. I decided I must go that same day. Easy to find and not far from my house. The first time I ate there. It felt as I walked in to a relatives house. The ladies behind the counter were eager to take my order. I got Yellow rice, pernil, yuca, stewed chicken, pastels de plantano, beef empanada and a coco loco. I was in my glory. As much as I tried I couldn't finish it all. I took the leftovers home. I returned the next day after for more. 2 days later I returned again. Week later I returned again. The menu changes I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything . The finest Home cooked meal I ever had in a long time. Definitely recommend it!!

If you really think about it the Dominican food has taken over the Bx. I searched, and found this place. The moment you step in you are greeted with the warmest blessings. The 2 beautiful people that worked there made our time there so memorable. The food was out of this world let me tell you. Also, I will say it is AFFORDABLE. portion size was huge and the place was so CLEAN. Food: Pernil: 10/10 flavorful and tender Yellow (arroz con gandules) and Black rice with the beans: 10/10 both were good and couldn't even decide which one was better Pulpo 9/10 : fresh and tangy, cut into small pieces so you can top it on your rice Alcapurrias: 8/10 great and made differently then what I'm used to but it was sooo good I'd come again for this alone Juices: Ask them to try the juices and they will let you. We tried it all. Came home with passion fruit (parcha) and guyaba (guanabana) Delicious 10/10 It was so fresh and they don't add too much ice so you get all the juice taste. All in all I'm coming here from now on. A true BX staple for the community and a true essence of the Bori pride resides here. If you miss PR, come here.

The space is cute and definitely has that Puerto Rican vibe as you see a lot of references to the island. The staff is nice, the service is quick, and the food is good. Another perk is that there is a parking garage right across the street. This came in clutch as I was already dreading the sometimes busy street parking. Something to note: -The Cuban sandwich didn't have any mustard which I found a bit strange, but it was good. Just wasn't a Cuban lol
