We were there yesterday, July 2, 2009 with a party of three and we all ordered the mofongo. The service was kind of slow we thought and a few people who came in well after us had their dinners before we did. We thought that was poor service and were almost ready to leave. Then the steaming hot plates LOADED with food came out. You couldn't get better mofongo in San Juan or anywhere else. It was well worth waiting for. Then the waiter explained that it takes long to prepare. Well worth the wait, and very reasonable.

This spanish restaurant is actually DOMINICAN NOT CUBAN!!! Its speacialties are based from traditional dominican food straight from the country and my own personal opinion of what one should order when visiting this excellent tasting-restaurant is the whole chicken with white rice and black or red beans along with fried sweet plantains. For desert you can indulge in a Tres Leches and I guarantee you, you will reach heaven and come back! trust me!

Hi, This is one of my favorite restaurants. I actually know the owners and founders of this restaurant, it is actually a full Dominican restaurant. Many people make this mistakes with dominican restaurants. You can even tell by the drawings (their 175th St. location) is of the Malecon of the capital of the DR (anyone who has been to Santo Domingo would know this). Whoever wrote this article did not do enough research but is nonetheless right about the very good food of this restaurant.
