Description
The menu features staples like arroz con gandules and pernil, grilled chicken breast with white rice, and flan. While some find that the flavors carry a nostalgic, childhood familiarity, others note a few inconsistencies. The chicken can lean dry—though easily paired with a side of beans—and the sweet Morir Soñando is made with Tang and milk rather than fresh oranges.
