3 /5 Nienne Elendil: I wanted to love this place so badly. Its hard finding Puerto Rican food that isnt in Reading or that I have to make myself.
But I noticed a few things with the food that could be better.
I was given mostly white rice (yellow rice had run out), little to no beans on my plate. The food was also put in the lid portion of the takeaway box (lid is shallower than the bottom and has vent holes that can be popped out), not sure if this was done on purpose. The pernil was very peppery but I didnt taste much of anything else (it ended up tasting like peppered turkey rather than pernil). Beans were also very salty. The empanada was great, very crispy with just the right amount of seasoning.
I am unsure if it was an off day. But my meal all together was $26 with $6 being for the empanada alone. I wish the best for this place and their success. My experience wasnt the best but it wasnt the worst either. I think it must have been an off day. And Id be willing to try it again another time.
