We need some margaritas up in here. Their food is pow wow 💥. These flavors just tickle your tongue. The meat melts in your mouth. Highly recommend. Be ready to stand in line. I haven’t had everything, but from the looks, I recommend everything.

What an absolutely amazing place! In this day and age customer service has seemed to go out the window, however, that wasn’t the case here! The owner was incredibly kind, hospitable, and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. He let us try food items and was such a pleasure to talk to. Not to mention EVERYTHING we tried was amazing!!!! We will without be back and are already considering using their catering for our daughter birthday party!

If you have a taste for authentic Spanish food, this is the place to go. The atmosphere is more family friendly. The food is delicious, hot and full of flavor. The dine in is small and feels like you are eating at home. So be prepared to clean off the tables from the last person who ate there 🤣. Not because of lack of cleaning but because they are ALWAYS BUSY AND JAMMED PACKED..... I love it❤️ my place to go for the last 25+ years. Worth every penny ..... Trust me on this one!

We went there on Sunday, never been there before. Did some shopping at Fligners and then walked there for lunch. Very good! We got 2 dinners, beef and pork. Very generous portions, took the rest home for dinner!

Hate to leave a 2 star but I've been coming here for over 15 years and who ever cooked the pork/pernil yesterday on March 3rd 2026 over salted and extremely dry. Tasted more like a jerky
