"I pass this restaurant all the time. On this day a friend invited me to Jazzercise so afterwards I stopped in after Jazzercise to see if I could grab a bite for dinner. I was very pleasantly surprised; while it was a very big location it was cozy, clean and light. The food looked fresh and appealing. When I asked the young lady how much for dinner she stated $11.00. I said in that case I will take 2 I will have one for tomorrow. There were about 6 or 7 meat choices. I selected baked chicken for one and stewed chicken for my other. I also selected to put yellow rice and pinto beans for one, and yellow rice and black beans for the other. I was so excited to get home and shower ? from working out and be able to enjoy one of my meals that I left my cell phone. I got home, showered and was about ready to dig in when I realized it's quiet I haven't heard any pings for messages from my phone. I was looking all around the house, upstairs downstairs, and went back out to the car. NOTHING!!! It now hits me I must have left it at the restaurant. I throw on something more decent to go out of the house. I get to the restaurant after almost two hours. I walk in and the young lady immediately says you left your phone. Let me tell you she made my night!!! I could have kissed her. People don't always do the right thing! By the time I get back home my friend calls and she says I was calling to see if you had your phone as someone from the restaurant went over to the Jazzercise studio before the instructor left and told her someone left their phone in the restaurant. The instructor started to call around trying to find out who left the phone. I informed her it was me but I'd already gone back to pick it up. While the food was very good at the restaurant I feel the honesty and respect of the workers are incredible and that will definitely have me patronizing this restaurant every chance I get!!!!! ?Kid-friendliness: While the dining area isn't very big, it's welcoming to everyone especially families.Parking: There is some parking in front but a lot more parking on the side of the strip of stores."

"I was so looking forward to eat at this restaurant as my friend has been going here for many years since the time she lived in BX until now years after moving to the DC area. She has always raved about their food so we knew it was a must to stop by there last night to get our plates of food to take with us back home. We bought rez guisado con arroz y habichuelas. She also bought a small portion of chicken guisado because she noticed the portion of the rez guisado they served was small. Everyone’s demeanor seemed as though they were just ready to just close shop and be on their way. Granted it was late when we arrived (around closing) but there was still food available and rendering proper customer service and good food is a must at any hour for a food establishment. One particular lady was not very pleasant and when I tried to carry a short conversation with her about how we were taking the food back home to show how excited we were, she didn’t say a word to me until I repeated the comment to her in Spanish twice more loudly the second time (although politely) so she could tell I knew she was being rude. Her reaction when she did respond was “ah ok” and then she proceeded to serve the rest of my order. Also my portion of red beans/habichuelas were served in a small plastic container and when I opened it today to reheat my plate of food at home there was literally no beans and nothing but the sauce in the container (check the pictures). The rez guisado was basically three chunks of meat with three potatoes and barely any sauce was added. The yellow rice was very dry as well. Overall the taste of the food was mediocre and so was the service. My friend says the quality of the food has definitely changed and for my first experience it will definitely be the last."

"So I would like to just share this story with the world so that maybe the good deed that the great people at Spanish Island did for me tonight won't go unnoticed and maybe it will cause them to have a few more customers than they normally would because it is rare to find the type of kindness or any type of kindness for that matter in business establishments these days when it comes to not having money. So basically I've been wanting to get myself some stewed beef white rice and some beans for quite some time now and I will be leaving the area for about 3 months at the end of the week so I made sure I made it over to Spanish Island to get myself what I want it now mind you it's a very rainy day today and I've been up all night packing so I'm just very tired and exhausted well I go into Spanish Island and I let them know that I wanted to pay with a prepaid Visa gift card that I received from doing an online survey I didn't have the physical card I only had the numbers expiration date CBV etc and they told me it wouldn't be a problem well I forgot and didn't realize that I spent some money off the Visa and didn't bring any other forms of payment with me and there wasn't enough money on the Visa after me trying to figure something out for tops maybe 2 minutes The kind amazing and huge hearted female that was working the cash registered told me not to worry about it gave me the food and handed me back the money that I gave her that I pulled from out of my pockets and bag which was about four bucks maybe a little less and she said don't worry about it well I promised her that tomorrow I would bring the money for the food and rest assured I will bring that money and some extra for her but this is something that I've ran into similar situations in the past and never as an establishment done that for me so I've always had a pleasant experience with these people their food is always great it's just all around a great place to go and get something good to eat and be around warm-hearted caring human beingsKid-friendliness: These people are kid friendly dog friendly cat friendly rock friendly car friendly these people are just friendly and great people go see for yourself . Take my review as proof I don't do reviews I don't spend the time to write all this out just so a few people can see it but I felt an obligation to let people know how great these people areyou not toParking: Anytime I've ever gone there there's been an abundant amount of parking Don't worry about thatWheelchair accessibility: They literally have thought of everyone and anyone who would like to come and try their amazing Latin cuisine so if you're in a wheelchair don't worry you will be able to easily make it into the restaurant and find yourself a nice place to enjoy the great food and people"
