"My Carribean island here in San Diego! Everyone is great here. Food, music, and company. Every Saturday night is Caribe night! The main floor plays Bachata, Salsa, and Merengue! They even have a free salsa / bachata dance class from 8 that 9. Other than that, my go to plates is the Papa Rellena with the Jibarito plate with steak and fried plantains. (Video shown)"
"I came here for lunch with some colleagues, and ordered the Mofongo Plate with skirt steak. Absolutely delicious!"
"Came excited to try some Puerto Rican food. I have had some before but never been to a restaurant for it. We walked in around 11:30am and no one was around so we walked to the back and they bartender asked if we were placing an order, then a women from the back came out and we asked if we could dine in and she said yes we can sit anywhere. She brought us our menus and waters and shortly after we placed our order. We ordered the lechon plate. The pollo frito plate, a chicken pastelillo, queso frito, tostones, and an order or habichuelas. The queso frito was two different cheese and are noticeable in the picture. One cheese was soft and had subtle flavor, the other cheese was not as soft, had a rubbery feeling and sound when you chewed it (kind of hard to eat) but it had a lot of flavor. The tostones were cooked perfect and had great flavor. The chicken pastelillo delicious! The chicken inside of it could’ve been distributed better but it had a nice crunch and the ketchup-Mayo sauce was pretty decent sauce, we had to ask for more!The lechon plate was slow cooked pork with a small but thick piece of fried skin on top, a size of arroz con gandules and a small salad with picketed onions. The pork was alright. Not too much flavor honestly.. the same with the rice and the salad was pretty fresh. The pollo frito was the three giant fried chicken legs! Fried perfect with good flavor. The serve was super nice and tentative to us. She was kind and constantly poured us more water and gave us updates on our food and when it would be ready. Over alls he made out experience really great!"
