When I arrived it was full of cars but I got lucky and got parking right at the entrance. The food was so delicious and well seasoned. We ordered the pull pork shoulders & pork ribs with rice, black beans and plantain. We also got the chicken empanadas. I didn’t really like the empanadas because it was more dough than chicken stuffing. However, it was very tasty.I recommend it. Prices are reasonable, a plate can feed up to 2 persons.

Good food. The music is a bit loud making it difficult to hear the employees and each other. But portions are pretty big.
