Caught them at the Just Jersey food truck festival last weekend. Tried the chicken empanadas and they were pretty good. Nice size portions etc, however, it was the start of the event and the truck had no sour cream. That’s literally the one thing we eat these with, so they offered us a similar version of sour cream with some kind of crema mixed in, but it was too spicy for my kid, so she wasn’t a fan and therefore, couldn’t finish her food. I def think SC is something the truck making Latin food should keep on hand! It’s pretty common.

I stopped by their food truck at the Food Truck Festival at the Paramus Park Mall today and was very happy with the Lechon Burger. It was one of the best burgers I have ever had. The patty was flavorful, not greasy, tasted unique, and was cooked perfectly. The addition of the ground chorizo definitely gives this patty a unique flair that regular burgers just don’t have. The bun was high quality, white American cheese perfectly melted, and the onions fresh. I had them hold off on the mayo-ketchup spread, but did try their mayo-ketchup-garlic spread and their hot sauce on the side. Both condiments are really good. I dislike anything with ketchup, but found that their mayo-ketchup-garlic spread was really good and mixed very nicely. Their hot sauce had just the right amount of heat and flavor and was nicely salty. The fries were very good too and tasted high quality and were perfect for dipping in one of their sauces. Lastly, the service was friendly and the prices very reasonable. I would definitely eat there again. It has the home cooking, family vibes, and is a unique option for lunch or dinner. I am looking forward to trying their Mofongo Relleno next!

This place obviously caught my attention due to its name. It’s our families last name as well. The service I have to say could use a little work I understand it gets busy and they were overwhelmed so perhaps that’s where the rude snappy comments came from. The food is so great you’d want to come again. For me it’s almost a two hour drive but I’d make the trip again for the authenticity of this food. I have to say the wait is very long so unless you’re a patient person don’t come here. If you order make sure you order everything with the people taking your food order which means even icees or beverages. I literally got snapped at by the cash rep for asking for an icee while I was paying. He said he would let it slide because it’s my first time there but that he needed to train me for the next time I came around. If you can handle some sarcasm then head on over but if you can’t please don’t. The food again is great they just need better support on deck.

This is a hidden compact gem in Union. When you’re in the mood for Hispanic authentic Puerto Rican food, then say no more. Family vibe. Top notch Spanish flavors!! And when you think it’s over. The deserts are your after lunch/dinner delight. One word “amazing”. Remember to order ahead. If you are lucky, you will find an empty seat take it.

I love this place because of how much they care about maintaining a consistent quality of food and at good price. For that reason I will not allow my frustration to hurt their ratings on Google.

But it is truly selfish & borderline egotistical for any food establishment to close their doors 3 days out of the week. Even the most boujie restaurants in New York close 2 days maximum.

It was not long ago that this place was a food truck trying to figure out their success strategy. And now that they have a storefront? It seems they are too “full of themselves” to cater to the people more than 4 nights a week. It’s disappointing. I hope the owner goes see this and hopefully opens his doors at least an additional day per week. The amount of money some people, as well as myself spend there, just to be rejected on other days because you feel like closing is not right

Food is EXELLENT. That being said, I spent $170 on food to take out and it was packed like a $10 order. EVERY. SINGLE. ITEM. that came with sauce, spilled all over every other item. Soaking the empanadas, getting into the other dishes, ruining the bags, leaking in my vehicle, etc. You guys HAVE to do better.

I will not be returning to this place today !!! I baught 50$ worth of food from this place we ordered pernil and rice with pigeon peas the amount of oil were the the pernil was in the tray was literally by far the worse as it was extremely greasy!!! On top of the fact that it was also salty due to the amount of grease it had. We tried using a napkin so that it can soak some of the grease and even then the tray still had excessive oil. Definitely do not recommend.

As PR’ricans that have been in away from PR for 6 years this place brought us home!! The mofongo with pernil and arroz con gandules was heavenly. The sandwich cubano was perfection. We drove 40 mins to come here and will come again. If you like bacalaitos, you have to come in on a Friday!!!!! You will not regret it. Drink options have MALTA INDIA iykyk and the desserts are tasty and legit. Oh and they have limbers! Staff is friendly and very attentive!
