$15 for 2 small pieces of bistec and a cup of white rice is pretty bad. The bistec was very tough and didn’t have much flavor. $4 for a pastele that also had no flavor and being this skinny is awful. If you’re going to charge insane prices for such a small amount of food, let us know first. Don’t scam us. I don’t recommend.

This place is in the cut and underrated. If you like puertorican food, this is one of the spots! Alcapurrias & pastelillos are

STAY AWAY STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I was just charged $19.00 for a $10.00 plate. I approached the manager and asked why was I charged so much and he gave me a can of soda lol! Never again! I truly wanted to like this place but beware of the prices. The worst is the food isn't good! I"m Puerto Rican and this isn't a good representation of our food! Reviews that say this food is authentic must be false. ITS FAR FROM AUTHENTIC! More like a generic fast food version!

I grew up with Spanish people in Providence and visited PR…coming to New Haven and trying this place out I was so disappointing. A small plate of white rice & one piece of chicken was $10. Then it had no flavor, no salt. Both rice and chicken had no flavor. Had to get Popeyes. I have Latin background and this food was the worst by far. The fact that people are rating this high makes me question folks taste bud

First time trying Puerto Rican food, everything was perfect. Food tasted fresh, delicious and came in big portion. Service was great, the staff gave us a dessert to try. Thank you!

Felt like the hubs and I were back in PR. Pork monfongo and chicken mofongo were made fresh and delicious! Pleasantly surprised I was asked if I wanted a lot of sauce or a little on each. Def got a lot. One happy gringa from out of state! ?
