Neighborhood gem and very likely a pillar of their community. It seemed like everyone and their mom stopped in for lunch or dinner while we sat down with our food. Very good prices for a healthy portion of rice, beans, and a variety of stewed, flavourful meats. Today they had chicken, pork, and beef. The side counter also had empanadas, maduros/plantains, and chicharons. My friend and I ended up getting as close to one of everything as we could-- and it was all delicious!!
Been coming here for years I can follow up with a picture from my bank showing 1200 spent last year and I misplaced my phone in this facility and the owner told me I look crazy/loco when I thought someone may have stole it… none of the cameras in the establishment work or records he told me, and said go track it from home 35 miles away… I spent so many lunches and dinners driving to this location and I will never EVER do it again in my life. I learned colors of rice in Spanish and names for meats so I could fit in here… CHEAP SPANISH FOOD. They don’t care about you just your money, be aware.
For the price in this area , the food is worth every bite. I never have leftovers when I'm done. ✅
