"Have to try the pollo a la planca definitely made with the perfect amount of seasoning. Also their pollo con hueso is amazing. Go here also for their night life and the dj always has the newest songs and the employees make you feel like family! Also bottle and drink prices for the bronx are super affordable. The hookahs here are one of the best I've had and prices are the lowest I've spent in a while in the bronx"

"The mofongo here is fantastic! It's so moist that you don’t even need to add any sauce on the side—I enjoyed it just as it was. The prices are very reasonable, and they have cheesecake available as well. It’s definitely a must-try!"

"I was quite satisfied as a weekly customer until the prices were no longer consistent the very same meal at the very same time the following day went from 13.00 to 20.00 the very next day so clearly the man at the front is either senile or just makes up whatever price he feels like that day they will no longer get my business operating like that"

"The service was terrible. I pre-ordered two Cuban sandwiches, arrived ten minutes later, and inquired about my order only to be told they still needed to make it. I patiently waited as two other customers were served before asking about my sandwiches again. The attendant responded with a condescending smile, admitting they had forgotten to make them. I did not rate the food as I did not try it, choosing to leave before it arrived to be fair."

"This review is not based on food or service, just an unpleasant recent experience. My family and I are regulars here and we are usually very content with the food and service, however on the morning of June 3rd we left the establishment very sad, confused and disappointed. My husband and I were seriously over charged for breakfast. We were each charged $22 for boiled green plantains with chuleta. So our breakfast included 2 breakfast plates of green boiled bananas with meat 2 passion fruit juices and 1 to go small dessert $62. It made us sad to be overcharged because we have been supporting this business since day 1 especially during the covid lockdown . I understand that inflation has had a negative effect on businesses and everyone in general but No one should have to pay $22 for boiled green bananas. My suggestion is keep the prices at a reasonable range."

"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."

"Slow service on a Wednesday afternoon with barely any customers. Went there for a quick bite and waited patiently for a while, but after 20-30 minutes I had to flag down the server to let her know we were ready to order, to which she responded “I’msorry give me a chance”. Waited another 10 minutes to have my order taken, and after all was said and done, it was 50 minutesuntil I got my food. Now... 50 minutes doesn’t seem too bad, but keep in mind that I didn’t order anything special. Iordered rice, beans, and chicken which is ready to be served in the front. Imagine how long it would’ve taken if I would’veordered something that needed to be prepared... that’s why you can’t wait 30-40 minutes to take someone’s order. Not onlythat, but food isn’t what it used to be. I was extremely disappointed. Chicken was super dry. Had to have a sip of water to beable to swallow the chicken. There beans used to be fire too; not anymore though. I’ve been here a couple of times before,but according to another review they have new owners. I won’t be coming here again."

"I quite enjoyed the food for a place we randomly walked into. But why $6.24 for a few pieces of lettuces and tomatoes? It was the size of a small side dish (wish I took a pic of it) that came with the chicken stew. At least bother to put a few avocados slices? Oh and note that 18% gratuity is automated included. All in all, solid homemade food but unhappy with how they charged. Not sure I’d return because of it."

"My mother and I visited the cafe with a relative and a friend. We ordered vegetarian meals, but unfortunately, the black beans were slightly burnt. I mentioned this to our server, who kindly removed the charge from our bill. Aside from that, we enjoyed our vegetarian dishes. Our companions ordered chicken meals, but one of them chose chicken tenders that were as tough as shoe soles—definitely not the tender experience one would expect! Additionally, my relative had soup that gave her indigestion because the potato or turnip inside wasn't cooked properly. She was also disappointed with her chicken dish. On a positive note, our server was very polite and attentive throughout our visit. I just wished all my guests had enjoyed their meals and had a better experience overall. Lastly, it would be great to have more vegetarian options beyond just white rice, black beans, and salad. Although the black beans were a bit burnt, they were still edible."

"I wasn't feeling too hot, so I ordered take out based on the reviews. I ordered their chicken soup and hen soup they were both VERY salty. While they were generous with the amount of poultry, it really didn't have that much else for ingredients. I also ordered their avocado salad I could have made a better one at home for a lot less. They use iceberg lettuce and they shred it. Not much vegetable variety and they didn't even give me that much dressing two tiny little containers. Thought the food was very average and the prices didn't justify the quality"

"I placed an order through GRUBHUB and unfortunately my beans were missing when I received my food. This was my first time ordering from this restaurant, so I called to see if they could provide my beans as eating dry rice was not appealing. I had spent over $50 on my order, so I was disappointed that they had not double-checked to ensure everything was included. The person I spoke to put me on hold and then asked if I could pick up the missing item. If I could have picked it up, I would not have ordered through GRUBHUB in the first place. I declined and was offered credit towards my next order, assuming I would be ordering from them again in the future. Since I had already lost out on the meal I had paid for, I decided not to order from them again and left a negative review. Spending $50 and not receiving what I paid for was unacceptable. I will not be ordering from this restaurant again."

"Place looks great, has a very modern and cultural environment. Food was decent, overpriced in my opinion. My orange juice actually costed more than my breakfast sandwich and was pretty sour. Cuban sandwich was a bit too salty for me and I usually like salty."

"The atmosphere was lovely, and the music added to the vibe, though it was a bit too loud for my liking. The drinks were both delicious and strong. I requested water but ended up waiting quite a while and had to remind the staff. The waitress was friendly, but they didn’t have what I ordered, and my friend finished her meal before I even received mine. I re-ordered but by then, I wasn’t really hungry anymore. They also forgot my friend’s vegetables. On the plus side, the food was very tasty. However, I was surprised to be charged $2 for sour cream. I had to speak with the manager about that. Overall, I was somewhat disappointed with the experience but I’m willing to give them another chance."
