Wonderful.
Bilingual, but helps if you have some Spanish. Friendly service. Not your typical Italian or German menu, but it feels familiar and inviting.
Inexpensive. Large portions. Good variety of hot foods as well as cold, all with an ethnic flair. Well cooked and seasoned; not over salty. Ribs were excellent, if slightly dry. Fluffy rice. Veggies were steamed, not boiled, so they had good color, flavor and a nice, slightly crunchy, mouth feel. Try the savory plantain: they have crisp chips or soft strips, varies by day. They have nice breakfast selection, including tasty egg sandwiches.
Tiny place. Most take away, but cozy for eat in. Deli, not a diner. Clean and neat. Located in a small, dated plaza. Lot of local working folk....

It seemed as if they were in a rush to push me out the door. I purchased white rice, plátanos maduros( sweet plantains), and Carne guisada(beef stew). The food was good and tasty. They have a huge variety of options for everyone. Great options like beans, wings, chicken, pork, ribs, beef, lasagna, soups, salad and more. I have had their food multiple times and it’s good. Again, my complaint is the attitude of the employees. People don’t understand that this could...
