Description

Located on Crosby Avenue, this spot serves staples like yucca, sweet plantains, and fried pork chunks. While customer service is on point for a neighborhood joint, the kitchen's output receives mixed reviews. Visitors report inconsistent weekend cooking, noting that typical Puerto Rican and Dominican dishes like mofongo and asopao de camarones can miss the mark, and order-to-order items like chicken sometimes arrive burnt. Counter food can also sit for stretches, though the spot remains a frequent choice for the area due to a lack of other Spanish dining options along the block.
