Description
The kitchen brands its name directly onto the dough, wrapping fillings that range from chicken and beef to pizza, shrimp, and vegan options. You can pair your meal with a traditional pink sauce of mayo, ketchup, and garlic, or a house fruit limeade served with real fruit in the cup. Run by Puerto Rican and Dominican owners, the neighborhood joint works just as well for quick takeout as it does for a casual date night at the bar.
