“We had a really good time laughing at all the bad reviews for this place after we visited … the entitlement of people blows my mind. The two of us left so happy and so full for under $20. Super cute divey and colorful atmosphere. The counter service and patrons were all friendly. Wasn’t sure if it was Mexican or Puerto Rican like some of the reviewers mentioned as there were nods to both, but the important part to me was that it was delicious. The tostones were perfectly flavored and crispy, the chicken and pernil melted in my mouth, and the homemade sauces at the table were yummy and appreciated. Glad we made the random pit stop on the way up the mountains!“
“This was our first time at the restaurant. What a great experience!!! From the food to the service, there was absolutely nothing to complain about. The restaurant met our expectations and beyond! The food was flavorful and the servers attention was extraordinary. While we live on the other side of the Hudson, we are already planning our next trip. Thanks for bringing a slice of the island to Hudson Valley.Shout out to Samantha for her amazing recommendations. The portions were so big, we couldn’t eat it all because we were also saving room for desert. Our only regret was we didn’t get to try the coquito cheesecake as they were all out. But at least we have something to look forward to on our next visit!“
“The service here was very welcoming and friendly and even though I few questions about the menu she answered them no problem. Now the food since I ordered take out, the cookie was good, fresh baked and very soft despite sitting in a hot box, the tripleta sandwich definitely was best, I mean the trifecta of slow roasted pork, chicken and steak well seasoned and generous portioned is great, plus potato stix in a sandwich is not common but not unwelcome, the BBQ sauce I could not tell it was in the sandwich but the sofrito aioli was very good, since the sandwich was pretty dry without it. Beef and cheese empanada was good, nothing above average. Now the cream cheese and Nutella empanada am pretty mixed, since Nutella filling is great no doubt as a filling in any pastry, but the cream cheese I wish they transformed it, since it was more or less a slice of refrigerated block cream cut and put into the pocket, would be well worth it to make a sweeten cream cheese icing like you get on cinnamon buns and put that with the Nutella into the empanada. The sandwiches are definitely fire here, but empanadas I might think twice.“
“Normally pick up here sometimes. The rice and beans, stewed chicken and pernil are all great as well as oxtail. Around holidays we always order a tray of rice and beans. This place I'd definitely recommend and they have never let us down.“
