I absolutely love this food truck! The owner is super friendly, the portions are generous, and everything this freshly made to order. The camarones al ajillo (shrimp in garlic sauce) with arroz con habichuelas & tostones was to die for. The churrasco with mofongo (possibly the best mofongo I’ve ever had) with tostones was also amazing. I felt like I was back in Puerto Rico.

Takes a bit long to make the food, but it was delicious! Had the chicken quesadilla, and it was jam-packed with chicken! It was so well seasoned and cooked, I would recommend. It's a large serving as well.

I was craving authentic Puerto Rican food and I’m ecstatic I found this place, because it’s a staple for me now. Every thing I ate here was phenomenal. The proof? It's a day later and I'm still thinking about this food! Wow, what an absolute GEM. The tres palmas mofongo was so moist and flavorful (looooved the garlic cream sauce, which they give in abundance) and a notable portion size which was refreshing to see. The shrimp, chicken and steak were all so flavorful with herbaceous undertones. They worked so well together. WOULD RECOMMEND. It was 10/10. The fried pork main dish was fried HARD but not dry. Just lots of crunch and flavor. The sauce it came with was perfect for dipping though. The beans were delicious and went perfectly with the fluffy white rice. The cute little outside area was perfect to sit and eat during a beautiful day. It’s rare that you find a Puerto Rican restaurant this authentic off the island. I felt transported. Will 100% be back!
