“ I had a taste for chicharrones, and theirs were just what I was looking for. Their chicharrones are the best in the county. They are nice and crunchy without being dry or tough. Fatty and unctious without being greasy. Savory without being salty. They may call their chicharrones an appetizer, but for me they're lunch. ”
“ I came here after reading all the great reviews, and this place truly lived up to the hype! Every dish was absolutely delicious and bursting with authentic flavor. Friendly and very attentive staff. ”
“ The cazuela and mojarra were excellent dishes. We loved the flavor and the portions were good. We will be back when we are in the area again. The juices were a bit too watery, we would've loved a stronger flavor. But overall nice experience ”
“ If you don’t speak English like myself and/or have a basic understanding of Hispanic culture, don’t be imitated by this place. All you need to know is that: 1. Food is amazing. 2. Food comes in large portions. 3. You have to get their dessert. 4. Prices are very affordable (especially breakfast). 5. Foot stomp on #1. Enjoy, Señor. ”
“ The food looks as good as it tastes. The taste is even better! Flavor explosion in your mouth!! I typically don't order steak anywhere, but THIS, I will DEFINITELY order again. I like onions but never eat a lot of them. These had so much flavor and when combined with the meat and rice, they were even better. Great and freshly prepared meals. ”
