Overall, the food was okay except for a “pastel” and a fried stuffed ball. Both things felt like they were made a long time ago and simply tasted disgusting/uneatable.  If I could give this restaurant - starts I would for sure. The one star is not because of the food but because of the horrible service. I have visited Puerto Rico twice and Puerto Ricans are amazing people.

No apologies from anyone. They didn’t even care our dinning experience all around was horrendous. They could care less. On a lesser note, the scene was absurdly loud. Music, tv and more blaring in the restaurant.

As a puertorican that lives abroad, but comes back at least once a year I will NEVER, EVER go back to this restaurant. It actually pains me to write this review because I never write bad reviews. I just don’t want anyone to have this experience when there are so many other establishments in...
