Visiting Greenville and I found this Puerto Rican restaurant. I went yesterday but they are closed. Open Thursday to Sunday only so I went back today. Of course, I ordered the pernil con arroz y gandulees, maduros, con una colita champán y una pastelito de guayaba. The food is not bad. The pastel de guayaba was great. My only issue is I always compare el arroz y gandulees with my mom’s and sorry, no one beats moms home made ones. But these were good. I forgot to add. Had this to go. Service was fast and only one couple eating while there and another order to go, so we got the food fast.

CALL AHEAD. If this review was food-only, it would have been five stars. But, since we had not been warned ahead of our first visit, from entering the restaurant to the food served was 50 minutes. The menu clearly states “cooked to order-allow time”, but that doesn’t help when you are already there. To-go or dine-in, the smart money is in calling first. There are only six tables with seating, many two-tops in this small restaurant in a strip center. But, consider yourself warned and head over for some great Latin food. While we were pondering the menu, literally every customer in the place had already been there before and told us to expect a wonderful meal. We had two Mofongos (the classic with Carne Frita, the other substituting slow-cooked pork for the pork chunks, $18). The Carne Frita was a little over-cooked but very flavorful, the slow-cooked was excellent. We also tried the traditional Cuban ($13), very tasty and like the other two entrees, too generous to eat in one setting. Allow time and be aware they are only open three days a week- 12 to 7- and they’re serious about opening at noon, even with people standing outside, they didn’t open until a few minutes after.

A little slice of home for these almost 20 year Florida transplants.
We got empanads, the bistec sandwich and Cuban sandwich.
Phenomenal. Period.

THE KING OF MOFONGO cooks here. I love this place. Nothing I have eaten has ever been less than DELICIOSO. Have the Alcapurrias, have the Monfongo, have the Pernil, have whatever is on special – it doesn’t matter because you are going to LOVE IT ALL. Do not hesitate! And it’s made to ORDER. If you are in a hurry – order ahead. If not, sit back and enjoy the music while you wait for your FRESH, PIPING HOT FOOD to be served to you. YUM. WEPA.

Fantastic food experience!
The stewed oxtail (daily special) was so tender…..literally falling off the bone coupled with the super flavorful rice and beans and topped off with delicious side of sweet plantains! Don’t even think about skipping the empanada experience……beef is phenomenal, you gotta dip both the garlic and spicy sauces!!
The owners are down to earth and cordial, they take time to explain the menu to people!

This is the best Puerto Rican food I have eaten in a very very long time. I can close my eyes and be in PR. The food is authentic. The owners are lovely people who care about the food they make. If you are in a hurry you can place your order ahead of time. Good food takes awhile to make. I had Mofongo con carne fritz y arroz con gandules. Excellent!!!!
