Update: Apparently the owner has decided to "attack" me. What happened to the customer is always right? I specifically stated I wanted to give more stars. I specifically ordered from here because I read great reviews. Unfortunately the food was awful. Read her comment, see what kind of person she truly is. It's truly sad when you can't even post an honest review without being targeted. Pictures to come of the dried up crab meat.Just wanted to add, I'm sure the Mac and cheese is good. I don't doubt that. It just happened to arrive cold. I'm sure it would have been great if it was hot.My boyfriend said if I ever order from here again to just get the potatoes from the boil, that was all he liked. I would like to give them another chance but go and get it fresh from the farmers market instead of ordering delivery.Wish I could give more than 1 star, but I ordered the seafood boil and everything was dry and overcooked. The seafood salad had no taste. The potato salad was OK once I got passed the initial overwhelming taste of something that made my tongue tingle.The best thing I had was the Mac and cheese and that's solely because it actually somewhat tasted OK. It was very bland and cold though.

yummy food amazing service

Stopped by her stand and was blown away by the selection! Girrrrrl you have it all!!We grabbed a variety of empanadas, burritos, chicken, pernil and rice with gandules.?this?food?slapped!?In the few minutes of speaking with the owner, it was clear how motivated she is, and how passionate she is about food!Thanks for a delicious meal, and many wishes for years of success!

I e never had Mac and cheese so flavorful!!! 10/10 I’ve been here twice and I’ve tried a couple of things.Mac’ n cheese 9/10Gumbo 6/10Meatballs 7/10Pork and cheese empanada 7/10Beef patty 8/10The gumbo was good but it had an herb I wasn’t a fan of, someone else might give it a better score

Ate here for the first time tonight! Excellent! Empanadas were awesome! Rice was delicious! Will definitely be back! Thanks

I will never order from here again! I ordered mac and cheese, chicken tenders and banana bite cornbread. I was looking forward to the bites t I’ve enjoyed them before.Where do I start?The Mac and cheese was overly greasy with no flavor. The chicken tenders weren’t cooked all the way through. I don’t enjoy eating undercooked chicken. The cornbread bites - the biggest disappointment of the whole meal. Mold. Mold. Mold. I guess they don’t quality control before sending out the door.They have lost my business for good.Update -It appears that the owner can not distinguish mold - pretty scary. The last photo shows where exactly the mold is on THEIR product. Based on their below response, I will definitely not eat here again and will not suggest this restaurant to anyone. As a business owner - a simply I'm sorry goes a lot further than attacking someone for what they received as goods from their establishment.Thank you & have a great day!

I’m from the Deep South of Mississippi and I love some southern foods. I’ve been wanting to try this food for a while now. I got her southern greens and they were so good. They had so much flavor. I could eat those all day. I also had the Pernil and it was good but had a lot of fat in my order. The only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because I order the fried fish and it was either old or overcooked. It was not good at all. I had to throw it away. Other than that those greens were so freakin good. I’ll definitely be back for those and to try some cornbread with them. Edit: so I’m updating my review to 5 stars because I ate here again and it was just amazing. I can look past the fried fish because we all have our bad days. The greens alone here are worth 5 stars. Then I ate the oxtail in gravy and they were amazing. So good and tender.

Goorrrrrrllllll. This food is absolutely ON POINT. The mac n cheese....nobody can touch that, i have never had mac n cheese that darn good. Lawwwd. The spanish rice, so simple yet so flavorable and just UGH so good. Dont even get me started on the empanadas, i got the beef n cheese, and the chicken. Lemme just tell you, keep doing what youre doing, because holy cow that was the best meal ive had in a very long time.The portions were bigger than i thought and i am so thankful because i cannot get enough. I will definetly be a forever returning customer for more of that good cookin! Props to you Dee, you deserve it. ?

Found this place randomly on door dash today and OMG - the most delicious food I’ve had in a while. I ordered pernil, rice, mac and cheese, and empanadas. The serving sizes were so big and the price was great. 11/10 recommended.
