Description
Inside the dining room—furnished simply with tables and three televisions—the focus is on filling portions that range from the Rico Rico family combo to individual plates. While the rotisserie chicken can occasionally run dry, it is saved by flavorful beans and a green Aji sauce with mild heat. Sides like sweet plantains and tostones get mixed reviews, but the house hot sauce is a reliable standout.
