La Flor De La Canela — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

I wish I would’ve carefully read the reviews before going in here. I like trying hole in the wall places because 9 times out of 10 they’re food is delicious! But this place just wasn’t it for me. First of all, I agree with the person below mentioning that the green sauces look weeks old! The oil was all settled on the bottom and the waitress dropped them off not caring about their appearance. And second of all, their food is loaded with MSG including the sauces on the table!

Also, don’t expect this place to be super clean …. Will not be...

You could tell why the place is always empty , is not just the food that is not the best, but is there horrible customer service that will keep you away and from ever stepping foot in this...

This place was great. I found it by accident. I'm a fan of Peruvian food so I had to give this a try. The place is a small family owned spot.

The chicken was cooked to perfection and the green spicy sauce that was given was amazing , mild spicy with hints of garlic made the chicken taste even better. The beans were also very good. I would definitely recommend this. I look forward to ordering again. Next time I will...
