“They are really excellent, the food is very good, the service is very excellent, a very good place to go to eat, it is quiet and it is very cheap. The only problem is that they do not prepare any type of cocktail, no alcohol, perhaps that is why not many people go, but apart from that That's why the service is first class....“

But when I got in the car and tasted that fish, it was fresh, well-seasoned, and tasted just as good with or with out the sauce. I will definitely be returning.“

The food here is always worth it, I always have leftovers.Pros: Reasonable pricing, large portion sizes and the food is consistently delicious.Cons: Parking is crappy, it’s meter parking and all the parking spots are always taken.Parking: Don’t double park it’s dangerous because cars like to fly down the street and officers are out to give tickets.“

MOM'S FRIED CHICKEN Chicken • $

“Found this place via Yelp and decided to give it a try. We ordered stewed chicken, pernil and a side of chicharron. The stewed chicken was delicious. I highly recommend you give it a try. The chicken is moist and has a ton of flavor. The pernil was moderate. I personally found it a bit tough but the chicharron was out of this world. They re-fry it for you in the spot and you pay per weight. It was super fatty and crispy! Thank you Yelp fam for putting this on my radar. I'm definitely going back to try their rotisserie chicken and their chicken soup.“
