The signage and the gps directions are almost impossible to follow. We finally got there and placed our orders. We ordered the mini alcapurrias and the mini empanadillas. Booth orders were overcooked. The alcapurrias barely had any meat in them. I ordered the carne frita with tostones along with two other members of our party. My order never made it to me. They totally forgot my order and the waitress asked if I still wanted it. I said no but luckily I was able to taste it from my other guests. The carne frita was also overcooked and not good at all. I understand mistakes but the waitress could have made it up by providing a dessert or something else to make up for the huge mistake. Terribly disappointed, when I really wanted to enjoy it.

The owner was very patient and friendly as we mulled o er the choices. I settled on the salmon with yellow rice and beans. My friends both had fried chicken with rice and beans. We chowed down and ate everything. That chicken was so crispy, light, and flavorful. My salmon was cooked to perfection, and the yellow rice was delicious. I also had the chance to enjoy a Pina colada, and it was the best. When I had them before, they were never this good. The restaurant is small but has a good amount of tables.

We had an assortment of appetizers (all fried but hey, it's Puerto Rico and we fry a lot of things) The temperature of the restaurant was a little too warm for my liking. I think the amount of people there is what made it warm. Food was not elevated cuisine but it was a decent price and good quality. I'd say close to homemade Puerto Rican food. I'd go again. Many plates to choose from with a great variety. Happy that we went:
