We ordered lamb chops and chickenery polo and requested the chops to be well-done. Unfortunately, the chops arrived overcooked and burnt, with a very bitter taste. We asked the waiter to replace them. After waiting for 15 minutes, she asked if we wanted the same dish or a different one, which we found confusing as we expected the plate with new chops. We confirmed the same dish. Another 15 minutes later, another waiter informed us that they had run out of mashed potatoes. It was only 7:00 PM, so running out of food seemed early. Additionally, mashed potatoes were a side dish, and they could have substituted another side with the lamb chops. Finally, we canceled the order due to the excessive wait time. The chickenery polo was also disappointing; it was not fresh and seemed over-fried. But it was passable. I would advise against trusting the lots positive reviews for this place.

My flank steak dish tasted amazing. Everything I tried was great. I recommend this place for amazing Puerto Rican food. Will eat here again.

Asked for what I thought was stuffed chicken to get more of a Spanish flavor and got a fried chicken. Then there were defensive about what we ordered. Also the girl sitting at the bar that worked here just kept giving us dirty looks. Over all the chicken was good for a chicken tender but the rice to chicken ratio was way off. Will not recommend it or go there again.
