This place used to be good, now the services is terrible, delivery is slow and the food arrives cold! Portion size was cut in half at some point in the last year...i think the missing portion also had the taste.

Charming, casual place with friendly staff and tasty food. Choices include "criolla" specialties like mofongos and pastelon, along with meat and fish dishes with a wide variety of sauces.
