This is my third time here. I kept coming saying ok let me try one more time. Unfortunately I just can’t go there again. I asked for Mofongo de Churrasco. I get a piece of meat with a tiny piece of Mofongo on the side. I almost cry when I saw my plate. If I wanted Churrasco with a side I would had ordered that. I expected better from the cook but unfortunately they are not Boricua. Mofongo de Churrasco is a good size of Mofongo and in the middle of it pieces of Churrasco etc, even integrated etc would had been great. Also the flavor of it all was horrible. This was more like a cheap skirt steak. My cousin had bistec encebollado. Was bad as well. Was sooo thin n cheap flavor. Looked more like a sandwich steak. The appetizer of tostones with ropa vieja, omg baaad. The ropa vieja was flavorless tick and rubbery making the tostones sooo saggy and wet. Ugh im just so disappointed. Is embarrassing at the same time going to eat “Boricua” food and being the opposite. The server that heard my complaint told me to give them one more chance. I just cant

Unfortunately my steak and onions was sub par. The steak was cold and came out with rice that was crunchy and not soft. The happy hour drink Rum Punch was a low level fruit punch with alcohol. Such a disappoint for Puerto Rican Food. It’s also unfortunate that I was super hungry because if I wasn’t, I would not have eaten it. For what it’s worth, the onions had great flavor.

Excellent food, I really can’t complain about the quality of the dishes. Unfortunately we waited 15 minutes before getting a menu and it wasn’t even busy. This place can probably triple it’s profit by stepping up their customer service.
