I normally don't eat out because my own cooking is so good its hard to find a place that makes typical Puerto Rican food I enjoy. This place I would highly recommend. Super casual, clean and a nice tropical breeze to boot. If we weren't eating out of disposable dishes and paying for our food we'd think we were eating at a relatives house. We had the mofongo with shrimp and mofongo with fried pork and both were delicious.

Puertorrican flavor food. From home made hamburger with the touch of puertorrican condiments to garlic Shrimps on butter.
