These people are the friendliest and most helpful. After three college-level Spanish classes, I don't speak a lick of Spanish yet the ladies here manage to help me understand everything, without making me feel like an idiot. There isn't one item I've tried that has disappointed. My favorite dishes are the pork shoulder (soooo tender and flavorful), stewed chicken, shrimp with onions and garlic, yellow rice and the pinto beans.

The owner cooked me up some of what she was having for breakfast and sent me on my way- :)- free of charge. It's not just a family style restaurant; it feels like how my family treats me.

Read moreAwfull!!!! I was so disapointed :( went there with my best friend becouse we had a taste for caribean food and from the door I knew the experience was going to be bad, the 2 ladies that were the look at us with a not so friendly face, we still over look that and focus on what we went there for wish it was the food, the table was dirty, and the lady that came to clean it came all in our faces with a white shirt 2 big HUGE ballons with no bra and was putting it all up on our faces wish we was discusted. 45 minutes later finally came the food that we wanted so bad, white rice, bistec and amarillos, wish by the way the lady behind the counter corrected us in anything we ask for, she was saying that it was not the correct terminology for what ever we said (Im born and raice in Latin america) I just wanted to eat some good food and go home. End of story, we pay $46.00 for two rice and bistec with amarillos, a pinaple soda and a maracuya juice that it was water down. I personally dont recomend not even my worst enemy to go waste their money there. the old owner Ms. Glenis was...
