1660 East Gun Hill Road, Bronx 10469What to order: Mofongo · Steak with onions (Bistec encebollado) · Flan de Vainilla · Pork chopsFrom Google Maps reviews.
Look at my reviews if I like, I like. However this one…2 stars, the food wasn't great, but mainly as a warning to others; DO NOT ORDER ALCOHOL HERE. Our total was $176, but the actual food cost was only $80. The rest was two tiny 12 oz drinks ($20 each) plus tax and tip. Completely unexpected and overpriced for a casual Bronx diner."
Food was good and they give you a big portions plenty parking as well.
I don’t have enough words to express how amazing the staff is and how excellent the food is. The attentiveness is marvelous. After coming from a bad experience elsewhere, this restaurant and their staff never fail. I’ve been here many times and haven’t had a single bad experience. The only reason for a 4-star atmosphere rating is that the takeout area is combined with the main seating area, which takes away slightly from the elevated experience they are trying to create. Otherwise, flawless!
