The Sancocho is amazing. Its a hearty meat stew that in my family we call it the hang over soup or the feel better soup. Growing up if I had the flu or a cold my mama would whip this up. Their soup was good... but I wish it had tripe and more meat in the stew and a bit more seasonings. Would i order it again? Probably not. Mofongo. Something that I absolutely love.. It didn't taste fresh.. the chiacharrones ( fried pork cracklings) was not crispy :( The saving grace was their chicken guisado.. a very hearty chicken stew ... that was a chef kiss. The employees are great. But if your looking for delicious Mofongo.. ita in lower east side NYC..

A mi…read morenovia le gusta particularmente el pollo con tajadas, y ambos apreciamos la fantástica relación calidad-precio. La calidad de la comida es superior a la media, especialmente considerando los precios razonables. Recomiendo encarecidamente este establecimiento. El personal, que generalmente está compuesto por dos mujeres en la cocina, es increíblemente amable y servicial. Aunque solo hablo inglés y ellas se comunican principalmente en español, siempre han sido pacientes y me han ayudado a hacer mis pedidos. El ambiente es colorido y vibrante, lo que lo convierte en un lugar agradable para disfrutar de una comida. Sin embargo, debo señalar que es más adecuado para llevar, ya que no es el entorno ideal para una experiencia de cena familiar. Una preocupación menor fue un encuentro que tuve mientras recogía mi comida; un hombre en el restaurante me pidió dinero. Esto resalta la presencia de personas sin hogar en la zona, lo cual puede ser un inconveniente. Sin embargo, mientras te muevas rápido, realmente podrás disfrutar de la deliciosa comida que este restaurante tiene para ofrecer.

The portions are pretty big, but considering the price, it's definitely not the best bargain in the area. Carne Asada de Res ($22) - Carne Asada, rice & beans, tostadas, and fried cheese. The beef was way overcooked--burnt and tough--which's a shame because it's otherwise flavorful. Overcooking the star of the dish like this just doesn't work. On the other hand, the rice and beans were amazing - easily the best I've ever had. Overall, it's nothing special. While the rice & beans were spectacular, it's disappointing that they were also the best part of the dish. That said, the servers were absolutely lovely - extremely friendly and even offered us samples of the drinks.

It did remind me of back home but not in the way Wright S here means it, not in a good way, it remined of a place where the cook was doing the minimal, barely any condiments. And the small strip of beef was too dry and not tasty at all. I would not expect that at any eatery in Puerto Rico, be it private home, school cafeteria, diner, road side stop, market place (Plaza de Mercado) or restaurant. To clarify, I'd expect that from someone who though they know their way around Puerto Rican food they only do the least possible. Also unlike Wright S I didn't find the owners warm and welcoming though the big young guy was cool. Maybe I should've had the grilled pork chop which most likely costs almost $20.00.

You have a choice between AYCE or by the pound. I know last time I came I got AYCE but honestly I don't eat that much anymore, so by the pound is more cost effective for me. There also are two different prices based on whether you want BBQ + sushi with your buffet. (Sushi??? I'll stick to BBQ when going Brazilian.) I tried to sample small amounts of the dishes on the buffet and then got some picanha and another steak cut (maminha). Both BBQ cuts were very good - I liked the maminha more. (Fraldihna is my usual favorite, and it's kind of similar to the maminha.). They had a chicken with capers that was probably my favorite of the buffet dishes. The stroghanoff wasn't bad. Some of the other meat dishes on the buffet were a bit dry. I got a mystery empanada which turned out to be guava & cheese, if it had been warmed it would have been better. I love guava, but there was just a little small rectangle of guava paste in the very center; probably 80% of the empanada had no filling. Similarly, the cheese bread balls were cold and hard. Those need to be right out of the oven to be worth it. It's a shame, they probably were good when they were first made but they weren't by the time I got to them. The potato salad was ok but the balance of mayo to potato & other veg was off (too much mayo). I had some fresh fruit too. All in all, I'd definitely come back (I love the steak!) but I'd focus on the things I know are good rather than trying a lot of things.
