    Worst place to go to during pandemic times. I've never rated any food truck with bad review but…read morethis had to be the exception. We ordered our food and they said it would be ready in 10-15 minutes and we waited more than 30 minutes. Waiting for our food we saw one of the workers run to a car and exchange their food another food. Then ran back to serve us the food another client had already been served. This is bad hygiene for a food retailer. Its a shame to see local food trucks with such bad hygiene during a pandemic.

    Puerto Rico is known for its street food and food trucks, so it stands to reason that at some point…read morewhile there I would be eating from one of these mobile peddlers of comestibles. My mistake was that most of the food trucks I had heard of were portrayed as delicious, cheap food. I apparently chose the wrong one. Judging from the massive crowd outside of this one on a Friday night, I expected an absolutely delicious dinner. Unfortunately that was not to be. I decided to try the tripleta sandwich de platano, expecting perhaps a plump plantain bread or maybe the standard sandwich with plantains added. What I got was a nightmarish fried lump of hell. The meaty cheesy filling inside was incredibly delicious, but the agonizingly dense and adamantine outer structure consisting of some sort of deep fried plantain biscuits was enough to drive a man mad. Grease literally oozed from them. I eventually just ate out the filling, which proved to be quite an expensive meal at almost $8 for just a nibble of some tasty filling. Served on a proper bread, it would have been a fantastic sandwich and well worth the price. I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would ever want to attempt to eat those greasy slabs of plantain, though I suppose you could probably fashion some armor out of them if you got enough of them.

    Hola ... My cousin recently brought a house so this place is right down the street from her. We…read moredrove down there they have a valet to park your car which was awesome and we got seated immediately. As soon as we sat our server Jan came over. He was awesome and gave some conversation and we found out that he's spent some time in Boston which is where we're from. He immediately brought out menus followed by some water. We order spicy fish tacos w/ Crabmeat and Fajitas. The spicy fish tacos were delicious and the taste was so different. I'm not sure what they seasoned that crabmeat with but it was so good. The tacos were soft but they may have put them in the oven so they had a crunch to them. The fajitas came out steaming as usual and the shrimp were blackened which I appreciated so much but I think that just happened from being in the pan. They gave the lettuce salsa guacamole and sour cream on the side. The plating was so neat. The restaurant is an outside place so you see all the cars passing by. I really liked that. Everyone was super friendly. They have a big screen tv and music playing. It's very relaxed and chill and the prices are easy on the pockets. It was my cousins birthday the brought us some shots. Bailey kahlua and whipped cream with cinnamon on top. I think they made the whip cream themselves. 10/10 I enjoyed this restaurant. It's not all the hustle & bustle that San Juan has its off the beaten path and in a quiet settled neighborhood. Give it a shot

    Food is very good. Service was pretty good. Music is a little loud. This is a good spot overall. I…read morerecomendé ir.
