Description
The kitchen details its savory dishes with unexpected spices, serving empanadas de carne seasoned with saffron and aji. Heartier options include Puerto Rican pernil and pollo guisado, though lighter starters like the guacamole and shrimp ceviche get more critical reviews. Drinks include the DeLeon Smash, a mix of fresh mint and Grand Marnier. While the staff is widely praised for being attentive and hardworking, visitors note that the dining room can feel understaffed during busy hours.
