10/10 hands down. Came here on a trip with a family of 6 and we all agreed that this was worth the train trip from our hotel in manhattan. The art was beautiful. It featured a bar on one side and dining in the other, small but cozy and lively. I personally had the pollo rosticery with platano frito and white rice. The guava mojito was also bomb. People there was friendly. It was all ages, kids, elders, middle age, good music and restrooms were cleaned.

Great food! Amazing music and atmosphere, the only reason why I took off one star was because they have a problem regulating the temperature in there. Besides that issue everything was fantastic.

So good, we went back the following day. I saw this spot featured on a social media short and decided to check it out. The first night, my girlfriend and I tried the mofongo with Chicharrón de cerdo. I need to say, this was one of the most tastiest mofongo's I've had in ages. I didn't inquire, but i got the impression that the gravy they used was something made specifically for the dish and not the sauce from another stew like most places do. The fried pork chunks were seasoned well and delish. The following day, we decided to go for brunch. My girlfriend had the tres golpes (mangu with fried salami, fried cheese and fried egg) and a mimosa. I tried the Coquito French Toast with fried chicken chunks. I left nothing on that plate. Both dishes were amazing and generously portioned. The staff there are friendly and pretty on point, considering there was only one server on the floor both days. And the wait for our meals were reasonable. We also loved the atmosphere with the Borikén-inspired murals and artwork and salsa playing in the background and patrons genuinely enjoying themselves. We will be back!

I had brunch here in a Saturday and it was amazing. Ambiance was great, the service on point. We had the bottmless mimosa brunch and they were definitely bottomless. They kept on refilling our drinks. The food portion was a very nice portion and a great presentation. Overall a great time was had. Will definitely do again!

Looking for authentic Puerto Rican cuisine? You have to check this spot up in the Bronx on East Tremont. The food is so delicious and full of flavor. My mom who's from PR was so satisfied with her meal as was I. But it goes to show how good the food is I had the Chicharron Sin hueso and they were so delicious. Crispy yet soft and full of flavor, the Madurros (sweet plantains) were perfect. Soft and sweet! Try way they're supposed to be. Avocado slices were nice and creamy. The Pernil was so delicious and flavorful and tender. Arroz con Gandules were hitting with authenticity and the flan was incredibly packed with flavor! The service was on point. Servers were attentive, helpful and accommodating. The venue is a mix of a Restaurant/Sports Bar/Lounge. Very big on Puerto Rican pride and heritage. You can sit at a table and enjoy your meal there or you can sit at the fully stocked bar and munch while watching some sports. There's usually have a DJ spinning a mix of festive music: Hip Hop, R&B, Reggaeton, Salsa, Freestyle, Classic house.. And people enjoy it.. It can get a bit loud for dinner or brunch so keep that in mind. They love to party at this spot and I'm all for it! Matter of fact you might even catch Sunny Hostin from The View munching here as it's one of her favorite restaurants! Now enjoy yourself a great meal and time at this highly recommended spot!
