I was very disapointed with the fact that i was rushed through dinner. Appetizer and main meal served almost together. I was not even done eating and was handed the bill, then i was told they needed the table. Very disappointed. Update!! This place is no longer open for business!!
Salsa best place to go dancing eat at last for everyone
This is really a great place for those who are not Spanish speaking to go and enjoy an authentic Puerto Rican meal. Food was phenomenal and the servers took the time to explain the menu.
You have to pay for parking, the food is over priced with no flavor. The bathrooms were so dirty, I couldn't believe this was a restaurant. There were even flies in the restaurant. Very poor conditions. Save your money this place isn't worth it.
