Prosperidad China Restaurant — Restaurant in Carolina

Friendly people - patient staff, food was basic. Visiting Puerto Rico for the first time, we heard Puerto Rican Chinese food is a must try - this is not the place. Food tasted overly saucy and not fresh. There's a difference between good mom and pop and cheap mom and pop. Example: La Casita Blanca - amazing; Deaverdura - cheap.
