The dining area is very small but the food was tasty and overall a very good meal. We went for lunch on a Saturday and we got a fish sandwich and a crispy chicken sandwich. Both came with a decent amount of freshly cooked fries. The bread was nicely toasted and the sandwiches were decent sized. The chicken was breaded nicely. It was very moist and not greasy. The fish was not breaded and had excellent flavor. Got it with cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. The green sauce on the side was delicious. We were actually full after half of our sandwiches and half the fries so we got to take home half of each sandwich and pretty much a full side order of fries. It taveled well and our son enjoyed our leftovers. The base sandwiches were only 8.25 each with fries. They do upcharge you for lettuce, cheese, tomatoes or any other toppings but it's only 50 cents per topping. I'm not sure how anyone can complain about $10 to $11 for a huge sandwich with fries in today's market. Whoever is reviewing this place and saying they are pricey hasn't been dining out in the last 20 years. We thought it was a great value and very fresh and flavorful. We were originally going to eat at La Hacienda but they are closed on Saturday and this was right around the corner as we were walking back to our car. They have on site parking which is a plus in Perth Amboy. There's nothing fancy about the inside, it's only a few tables but the place was very clean and the staff was very courteous. Definitely recommend and will need to return to try their other menu items.

Though it is a small place I can see why they get so much traffic. The food is good and the prices serve just as good. If you’re eating here call family and friends as their portions are generous. Overall a good place to grab lunch or dinner. They have a variety of options also so if you’re sitting in you’ll likely take something to go. I know I did. lol

This place is the best Dominican/Portuguese bbq eatery! The pork ribs with the white rice and red beans were so delicious! Katherine is such a sweet woman and welcomed me with a great smile. She is also beautiful. I highly recommend this place for lunch and/or dinner. The food is superb! 10 out of 10!

My family has been ordering from here for YEARS till this day. We love love love the food. But today I was really disappointed. From the moment my order was taken over the phone there was a poor display of manners. It was hard to hear, and the guy says oh my god in spanish as if i was annoying him or getting on his nerves, interrupted and spoke in aggravation to rush me off the phone. He knew I was at a hotel because he verified the address twice and delivery showed up with no receipt condiments, napkins, or utensils. When I called the young lady said... And i quote, "you have to ask for these things". In what world do you have to ask for a receipt. The manager showed no concern or interest on behalf of their faults. The driver still got a nice tip. Ugh im disgusted with how they treated me or the situation. Everyone makes mistakes, things happen, but the way you handle it shows character and opens a door for...

Placed an order online since I had card not cash for delivery. Address to location was correct, phone number was correct too. Driver called me and said they have no order yet I was still charged. Owner told me it was probably a scam and not his problem but didn’t even offer to check. When I reached out to the website, they informed me they had already submitted 3 orders to the business so unsure why this one could not be fulfilled. Website emailed me the confirmation from the restaurant and could not refund me as on their end, the restaurant confirmed and the restaurant states they did not receive the order. Couldn’t try this order which was disappointing given the...
