I wasted $30.00 on a fried snapper dinner which only includes one side. I was okay with the price until the food was delivered. First of all, the snapper was average in size and was EXTREMELY salty. I couldn’t even eat it, WAY TOO MUCH SALT!! The salad came with a small amount of salad dressing so that was a waste as well. I wish I could include a picture, it’s about 2 teaspoons of salad dressing. The only thing that was edible was the fried sweet plantains which needed to be more ripe. A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!!!! I will not recommend to anyone.

Horrible customer service , my husband and I stood at the counter for 15 minutes and they helped someone that came in after us, after they were done waiting on them , they didn’t even wait on us, or acknowledge us, We just stood there waiting, they didn’t even say “I’ll be with you in a moment”. Treated us like we were invisible. So we walked out.

Very good food, good service and good price.

The food is good, tipical Hispanics. The place was nice and quiet to dine in. Good attentions as well.

Food is alway fresh and amazingly delicious. Homestyle seasoned pork, beans, spanish/yellow/white rice, roasted chicken, beef stew, ribs, seafood, deserts. Owner is super friendly and enthusiastic.

Ordered food and found a COCKROACH in my food, wouldn’t recommend!!

I love this place great food nice people

The worst meal ever took 2 hrs to get my food and then I get it and it’s completely cold they need a better delivery service and give the delivery guy your exact address never agian I’ll call this place for food

We eat here at least once a week. Our food is always fresh. I love my fried fish filet and rice. I speak enough Spanish to order my food. I always leave a nice tip, as this is universal for Thank you for the excellent service and food!!!! Oh and they deliver!!!!

Tried this place about a year ago and ordered the pollo guisado but they make it with bones (no chicken meat) only so that was a pass. So I decided to try it again for takeout. Help me understand why they took it upon themselves to substitute a dish without asking! Then when I called they were rude and not helpful. True to their name - sooooo typical!!
