So it’s funny to read a few reviews pertaining to their service being iffy only to find that my server was beyond pleasant, the staff as a whole seemed pretty nice (greeted upon entry and as we exited). Also a DOUBLE bonus, this place being located blocks away from the Barclays center one of the HARDEST areas to find parking and they have a lot for cars when you come to dine in, just perfection (free parking). I came in for lunch and left with a belly stuffed and satisfied. My girlfriend and I had the chicharron de pollo, I had it boneless and she had it with a bone, we ordered a Pina colada and tostones as extra items. Pina colada was good but nothing spectacular, tostones was perfect, and I truly enjoyed my boneless chicken with rice and red beans. They check your vaccine card upon entry so yes be prepared to present this before being seated. Ample seating space and nice calm atmosphere at lunch. Will be visiting again!

Grilled pork chops was fantastic and the classic mojitos was perfect. I would definitely go back again. The music was a great setting.

Walked in to place a take out order.Ordered mofongo was told I couldn't order extra gravy!! What in the world! As a customer I've NEVER been to a restaurant where I'm paying and told I can't order something! They literally argued about the fact that the mofongo doesn't come with gravy; I've never been served dry mofongo in my life. As it turned out the gravy was extremely salty the Chuleta had a taste of it being not fresh chips and it was over priced! Then I was told it wasn't the Viejo Yayo anymore.BELIEVE ME THAT WAS THE ONLY TRUE STATEMENT because they cannot compare! The Viejo Yayo is waaay better! Garlic does not agree with every one.And beside that if the customer is willing to pay for the menu change which often happens then why not? Customers are there for you to please not the other way around

Typical latin meals at reasonable prices for the location. Just a block away from Barclays Center. The food was not very memorable but we did finish our meals.

Honestly, the food was not worth the money. Do not get the shrimp as it was not seasoned. The service was not good. An equally large group arrived before us and we're attended way before. Waitress never came back after taking our order and an automatic 18% gratuity added.

I USED to love this spot. Walked in got a beer and 2 shots. They charged me $33.75 and then had the audacity to change their "happy hour" from 3-7 to 4-7 when I mentioned the price issue. I called, first they put me on hold and hung up on me. Then they tried to leave me on hold as long as possible thinking I'd hang up. Unfortunately I'm commuting home right now. So not only will I continue to call until I speak with a manager, I also will be letting my coworkers (in both schools) know NOT to go waste money there with their scheming, stealing, disgusting staff. The most I should've spent was $18 before tip. And I STILL TIPPED IN CASH. This was my go to lunch spot. Never again. Everywhere else has integrity. I hope this place burns down. You're a bunch of theives who deserve nothing.

Zero stars Fish bones in pepper steak???????? Garbage!!!!!!!
Update: responding to owner... You say it's done fresh? I called and you had no respect or courtesy to answer. I can't control if your cook is a unsanitary! All I know is those fish bones were in the plate. I could've choked. I am not dellusional nor will I make something like this up. See additional pictures that I would've send you to your phone when staff told me to call back in 5 minutes then to call back in 30 minutes. I was willing return the plate of food that I threw out but unfortunately you were ignoring my calls and didn't have the courtesy to call me. I will NEVER purchase from your restaurant ever again! $55 of food in the garbage ????.

We went for a birthday celebration. The food was excellent and definitely budget friendly and we orderedway too much!! The Seafood Paella was out of this world. However, the staff is lacking. Took too long for our dinner and our waitress pretty much disappeared. She wanted me to sign the receipt again even though I already had paid the bill with the manager. I had to confirm with them that my bill was only processed once. Will I go back? Maybe.....
