If you like Puerto Rican food (or never had it before) this is the place to go. The pollo guisado stew was so rich, savory-flavorful (think tomato, pepper, lemon, bay leaf, garlic, maybe some cumin flavor; hard to describe exactly the flavor). You get three sides with it too. I got tostones (nice and crispy), Yuca fries (these are good but get some of the garlic sauce with them next time) and sliced avocado. I'd recommend rice and beans with this for a real treat. The people working there were really nice too. Always love trying dishes here and recommend to check them out if you're over near Homestead.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Ended up getting steak with chimichurri. The steak itself was a little overcooked for me, I like it medium rare, but that might be how it’s supposed to be made for Puerto Rican food. The chimichurri sauce was excellent. The Yucca fries were delicious as well as the red beans. I really liked the Mofongo as you could taste the garlic and plantains perfectly. Also try the fried sweet plantains which were delicious. Definitely recommend.

My daughter lives in PA and she found this place and took me to try out. I’m from Chicago so our Puerto Rican food is top tier lol but I must say the jibaritos were 9/10 (only because the meat was a bit different then what I’m use to) the yuca fries were 10/10 and the workers were friendly. I’d go back again and I’m glad my daughter found a spot by her
