Very good, one of the best lunch options in the neighborhood. There are quite a few similar food establishments in the area but for me this is a top spot. Their daily specials for lunch are great options, the place is clean and feels authentic.

Love me some Tainos. Maytee is the best!! I come to lunch here and I also cater from her. The food is great! Portions should be a tad bit bigger for the price. But service for me is always excellent and food is freshly made!! I highly recommend .

The food is phenomenal.... the service however could be better but then, im sure we can say that for everywhere. People should be more inviting in these types of establishments. They are small and homey, should feel that when I walk in. Just sayn.

The owner is everything a woman should be, and it's a plus she's Puerto Rican. I love how traditional yet modern this establishment is.

Had lunch here early Dec. Very nice people and tasty food. Comfortable interior. Clean restroom - always a must and a good sign. Had some empaneda's, ham soup, roasted chicken. Delicious. I would recommend this cozy spot.

Food was literally ice cold. Rice was frozen in place. Literally the entire box was rice with one spoonful of pernil. Terrible food quality embarrassingly stingy with the meat. Ordered through Doordash so I got a refund. But definitely not ordering from here again.
