The dining area is very small but the food was tasty and overall a very good meal…read more We went for lunch on a Saturday and we got a fish sandwich and a crispy chicken sandwich. Both came with a decent amount of freshly cooked fries. The bread was nicely toasted and the sandwiches were decent sized. The chicken was breaded nicely. It was very moist and not greasy. The fish was not breaded and had excellent flavor. Got it with cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. The green sauce on the side was delicious. We were actually full after half of our sandwiches and half the fries so we got to take home half of each sandwich and pretty much a full side order of fries. It traveled well and our son enjoyed our leftovers. The base sandwiches were only $8.25 each with fries. They do upcharge you for lettuce, cheese, tomatoes or any other toppings but it's only 50 cents per topping. I'm not sure how anyone can complain about $10 to $11 for a huge sandwich with fries in today's market. Whoever is reviewing this place and saying they are pricey hasn't been dining out in the last 20 years. We thought it was a great value and very fresh and flavorful. We were originally going to eat at La Hacienda but they are closed on Saturday and this was right around the corner as we were walking back to our car. They actually have on site parking which is a plus in Perth Amboy. There's nothing fancy about the inside, it's only a few tables but the place was very clean and the staff was very courteous. Definitely recommend and will need to return to try their other menu items.

I decided to give this place a try after seeing a TikToker's review. When we got there, my husband…read morementioned that the food didn't quite look the same as what was shown in the videos, and I have to agree. However, the flavors were definitely there, which is what matters most. I tried the alcapurria, and while it was decent, I've had better. The chicken inside was a little dry and could have used more seasoning and flavor. On the other hand, the chicken empanada was really good. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and had a nice seasoned taste that stood out. That's definitely something I would order again. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of my lunch, but I also ordered pernil with rice and gandules, as well as baked chicken with rice and gandules. As someone who loves pernil, I have to say that Puerto Ricans make some of the best pernil. It's always well-seasoned, flavorful, and tastes clean rather than overly greasy. The pernil here did not disappoint. The rice and gandules were also very good. While it doesn't quite compare to my husband's aunt's homemade version, it was still packed with flavor and complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would come back to try more items from the menu. If you're in the area and craving Puerto Rican food, I think it's worth giving this place a try.

The salsa/ sauce on the side was not that flavorful and it seemed like the cheese blend used in the quesadilla was different (leaned more Italian cheeses vs what you would expect for a quesadilla) but still decent. Also got the Buffalo cauliflower bites and wings. They were able to let us select two sauces which was nice. Would recommend staying away from the lemon pepper dry rub- was way too acidic and salty for my liking. Nice vibe and they have two single stall bathrooms that are pretty spacious. Overall solid spot for some apps and HH drinks- just beware of limited parking.
