The food was delicious and rather large portions. We tried the Salmon, Red Snapper, queso frito and ceviche and it was all perfectly prepared. The server was very sweet and helpful. I would recommend it for sure. Even my friend who lives in JP but had never been there was blown away
We LOVE the food here!!!! Everything is always delicious and it's freshly made! The servers are always so nice and they are super friendly. If you don't like loud environments this might not be the place for you as they always have loud music playing but it's always good! Parking around the area is always easy as well. We always find parking around the corner.
Wow, what a fantastic restaurant! We came in with a birthday party of five last night. We were seated right away at a comfy table in the middle of a colorful and lovely dining room. We all studied the menu for a long time, it was hard to pick. Eventually, here is what we settled on: One order of chicken and one order of beef pastellitos Two orders of sweet plantains One appetizer of chicharrones 1 frozen mango margarita A whole fried red snapper with rice and beans A large fish soup Beef stew Beef with onions and peppers Our server was completely fantastic and patient. This place is amazing! 100% reccomend!
