Food is good, not the best out there, but definitely good for the price. You have to wait a bit for your order, but not much. Taste is good/excellent. One thing that does need attention is the locale. I'd like to blame it on Hurricane Maria, but after a year... The ceilings are falling, there is that distinctive humidity smell, even above the food. I'd suggest order out; don't eat in...

Best restaurant ever, it is a very authentic place. They sell the best mofongo and sometimes the owner gives me free food because they are extremely generous. This teenage girl from the restaurant is so hard working, is extremely beautiful and nice. Don't worry I know her personally :) Her restaurant has great empanadillas and the mofongos again are the softest ones I've tried. The prices are super affordable and reasonable and the portions are more than what you pay for, meaning that the portions are big and one combinacion may be enough to feed 2 or 3 people. The tostones with extra ajo are so good too and crunchy when eaten. If you are around Plaza Las Americas, go to this restaurant instead of the ones inside the Mall because there are more options in this one, supporting a small business owner and they do delivery on Ubereats and DoorDash which is extremely convenient for those nearby.

Love this place. Not the best atmosphere but I usually call for pickup. Last time I got there I said I was ready for pickup less than 10 mins after my order and it was already ready. You also get a lot of food for not that much. 10/10 this is my comfort food
