The good the bad and the ugly…read more... I was so excited to have a new place open up on the neighborhood, I waited til they got situated before going. (Being in the industry, I know there are always links, even w/ the best) The good- super friendly, large space, clean and big menu. The sampler platter was ok... corn fritter was a song.. The bad- I ordered take out via phone, was told 30 min. I showed up in 30 to find out they never put my order in. They offered me a beverage on the house which is great, but still sucks that I had to wait another 30 min. The ugly. The Cuban is not a Cuban, it was served on a plantain instead of bread, which had this been written on the menu, I would have skipped it. There was also no mustard on it. Thankfully I had some mustard and I removed the plantain to eat with a knife and fork. The other sandwich said it was chicken w/ sweet plantain, lettuce and tomato. It was very under-seasoned and again on plantains.. not a sandwich w/plantains. The fries were soggy at best. I really wanted to like this but I think they need to work out the rest of their issues. I would consider trying entrees but disappointed in tonight's selections

Went here on a Saturday for date night with my husband. I was skeptical prior to arriving because I…read morelooked at the reviews, but I'm happy we didn't listen and decided to try for ourselves. When we were arrived we were immediately greeted & decided to sit at the bar. The bartenders were friendly and attentive even though there were several large parties in the dining room. The restaurant is very spacious and beautifully decorated. They played Latin music in the background and even had a DJ with salsa lessons that started around 9:30pm. For food we ordered bacalaitos for the appetizer, they were smaller than traditional bacalaitos, but it was perfect for a starter & was surprisingly not too greasy. I had the Costilla de Res (short ribs) & risotto. The short ribs were very tender, falling off the bone, & full of flavor. The risotto was so smooth and cheesy it was delicious. My husband ordered the Mofongo with bistec encebollado. He said it was flavorful & the meat was tender. Overall there was great service, the vibes were on point, the food was delicious, & the drinks were great too. Only downside, I wish they were located closer to me lol. But we will definitely be back again. I'm really hoping they stay around for the long haul. I've always said CT needs their own "Don Coqui" just like NYC... & I'm really hoping this is it!

plate of birria tacos or quesadillas served with a side of consommé for dipping. The presentation…read moreappears appetizing with the golden, crispy tortillas filled generously, likely with seasoned meat like beef or lamb. There are also fresh accompaniments such as lime wedges and pickled onions, which should add a nice acidic contrast to the richness of the tacos. The consommé looks flavorful with herbs and a deep red broth, suggesting a well-cooked, spiced stock that's perfect for enhancing the taco experience. The melted cheese on one of the quesadillas suggests it's been griddled to a nice texture, adding another layer of indulgence. Overall, this meal seems satisfying, with bold flavors, contrasting textures, and the perfect balance of richness and freshness from the condiments. The meal likely delivers a comforting, savory experience with plenty of flavors from the slow-cooked meat and broth.

We noticed an employee eating while preparing food with no gloves on. I should have left then honestly! We stayed and observed this woman constantly wiping her face and mouth and still preparing food, cutting potatoes possibly for home fries. She was also doing dishes and then going back to prep food without any handwashing in sight. I ordered a skillet and prayed for a great experience. The food wasn't bad tasting, in fact the food tasted good. But, we did end up getting very sick after we left. Ruined the rest of our day. I barely made it home. Unfortunately, we won't be back.

Excellent and friendly service, and some of the best dishes of both types of cuisine I've had. I highly recommend their appetizer combination number two, which comes with papa rellena, bacalaito, y alcapurrias de yuca y de plátano. Tiré una foto de eso para que vean. Es una gran cantidad que se puede fácilmente compartir con 4 personas. The rice and beans are great, so is the churrasco, and the mofongo is moist, fresh, and delicious. What a meal! My only critique is that the music was a bit too loud, so we had to yell at each other to hear anything. Otherwise, 100% one of the best restaurants for Puerto Rican or Dominican food.
