This is my go-to place for catering or party food for large groups. Their "arroz con gandules" is, hands down, the best in the area!

The chicken, rice, and everything that they sell there is delicious. The staff is super friendly, always ready to help, and throughout the covid 19 hasn't been easy but they always service every customer with a smile. Well a cheerful tone of voice cause you can see them smile behind the mask of course. Definitely I will come back and recommend others to try it out.
