First time trying the cuisine of Puerto Rico and I was simply blown away. The ambience was cute, comfy, clean, and relaxed. Awesome vibe. The waiter was extremely kind, diligent, and helpful when helping us decide. He was such a good dude. We ended up splitting a bunch of different things on the menu to get a taste of everything.

If I lived in Worcester, this would be on the menu for me weekly! Cannot recommend this...
