This Puerto Rican restaurant really delivered with quality, authentic food. Everything was new to the taste, but it was so delicious. Highly recommend stopping by if you're on the east side. It's part of a little shopping plaza, so there's a parking lot.

Everything tasted great! Authentic Puerto Rican flavor. They make Pan sobao in house which is hard to find in El Paso. Their pastries and desert were also delicious. The menu is still missing some variety but I understand the place is still small and not enough...Read More

Had the pernil y arroz, the Cubano sandwich, and the sampler. It was very delicious and what I was hoping for, taste wise. Only downside was how far it was, but that’s a ME problem! lol
