From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome, like you're a regular even on your first visit. The food is absolutely outstanding fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. And I have to talk about that green sauce they serve on the side... whatever magic is in it, I could seriously put it on everything. It's that good. To top it all off, I tried their tres leches cake and it was perfection, moist, rich, and not overly sweet, just the way it should be. Amazing food, wonderful people, and flavors that keep you thinking about your next visit. Highly recommend!

It looked great. But, it was way way overrated, like the cook is in love and doesn't pay attention…read more while salting the food. Kid said it was saltier than the ocean. Also we went at night and the food was dry-ish, plantains were not fresh and yammy as u love them. Oxtail was dryyyy. Yukka (for extra $2) was dryyy. From the meat options we got the best was chicken, chicken in my (super salty) soup was perfectly cooked. Grilled chicken was great too, juicy with crunchy skin. Beans were cooked perfectly. Too much rice in every plate and not enough beans though. I really do t know if during lunch time all that food was freshly cooked and juicy and just got dried up by dinner time. I might give it another chance if I am in the area and super hungry, cos it was generously served.

They don't always have an English speaking staff member so it makes it a bit difficult if you do not speak Spanish but I ended up just pointing to the menu items I wanted and using the little bit of Spanish I do know. The baked chicken is so juicy and flavorful and the empanadas are different than the empanadas I am used to but they are crispy and delicious. I would highly recommend.

Even…read morethough the restaurant was busy setting up for a party, the staff was incredibly accommodating and found us a table by the bar. While it was a bit loud due to the preparations, the energetic atmosphere didn't take away from our meal. Our waitress was exceptionally nice and attentive, ensuring our drinks arrived quickly and that we had everything we needed throughout the afternoon. The food was truly the highlight of the visit, as every dish we ordered was delicious. The Ropa Vieja was a particular standout--flavorful, tender, and very well-prepared. We also shared the steak sandwich, a classic Cuban sandwich, and both the boneless and bone-in chicharon de pollo. Both versions of the chicken were crispy and seasoned perfectly. It is clear that the kitchen takes great pride in their cooking, and we really appreciated the friendly service despite how busy they were. We will definitely be back!

It's no surprise that their rotisserie chicken has been labeled "the best in the Poconos." All dishes are made from scratch and reasonably priced. Menu Highlights~ Tender, roasted pork with yellow rice and beans is a cultural staple that is a popular item. Fried pork chops, grilled tilapia, and stew chicken are available in combo meals that include rice, beans, salad, and drinks. The traditional soup known as Sancocho is so good you need to taste it My favorite is some kind of steak sitting in just a brown sauce made in a miracle of seasoning, served over whit rice. You'll be in heaven eating this dish

It can get a little loud during busy hours, but that's part of the vibe. One thing we really liked is that they have a coffee shop right next door, which is perfect if you want to grab a coffee or dessert afterward. I've also been to their Englewood location and loved it just as much. The only downside there is that parking can be a bit challenging since they don't have their own parking lot. Overall, both locations are definitely worth visiting!

Both so amazing, I recommend the restaurant on a weekend night for music and great vibes and the bakery for mornings! Our waitress was great in giving us some recommendations for appetizers that would've enough for the whole table. For my entree I ordered chicken with mushroom in a white sauce. I LOVEEDD it only woah it was a little less saucy. My only complaint is that our sides of rice weren't delivered to the right table.

Sangria's has been a go-to for us for years for good tapas and sangria, but we've now had issues on…read moreour last two visits, and this most recent one was especially frustrating. The food is still great. We had scallops, chorizo, brussels sprouts, and a flounder ceviche special. Everything was delicious. The ceviche in particular stood out -- fresh, well-portioned, and nicely "cooked" in lime juice. The sangria is still a highlight too. A big carafe, no ice watering it down, served with glasses full of fruit. The problem is the service. They had two servers and one bus person, and it showed. Everyone seemed to be scrambling, and it was hard to get a moment of attention to ask for anything or even be heard. Our food came out in pieces -- three items, then a long delay, then another. The last dish, calamari, never came. When I tried to tell the waiter we didn't want it anymore if it was forgotten, he didn't listen and insisted on bringing it anyway. We ended up waiting even longer, which just made the experience more frustrating. To top it off, they're now adding an operating/service fee (around 3-4%), which wasn't clearly communicated and just showed up on the bill. It's disappointing because the food is still very good, but the service issues -- and now the added fees -- are taking away from the experience. After this visit, we'll think twice before coming back.
