From Google Maps reviews.
I don't understand why this place has a 3.7, it's my favorite Spanish restaurant! The rice is so flavorful, not like any other place I've had before. Their empanadas are amazing! It has the perfect texture, flavor, and price at only $2.50! They have always given me great service even when I first came here. This place is so underrated. Definitely give it a try when you can!
This restaurant was just… wow. Amazing service (it does help if you speak Spanish or at least go into there to with key words for ordering). The staff was so kind and helpful and gave us recommendations for his favorite plate the Pernil Asado (roasted leg of pork) which is one of the daily specials. The meat. Wow. It was so tender and juicy, literally no toughness to it at all. And the flavor was immaculate. I also got yellow rice and black beans which were flavorful as well. The salsa they had
Great food. Great service. Family owned which doesn’t happen as often in NYC anymore. Small space but very cozy.
