We came here as a party of 9 and they sat us right away. There was street parking that was free for us when we were there but you did have to pay for other times of days. The food was really good and fresh. We all got different things and everyone loved what they got.

Lively restaurant with salsa booming from the speakers. The service was so friendly and attentive and food was delicious. Need to return to explore their varied empanadas flavors.

It’s okay but it depends on what you get. The rotisserie chicken is lacking in flavor and the Black Moro rice was undercooked. The plantain was also undercooked. My birthday dinner was not great, but my friends liked their food. Perhaps I ordered wrong?

This is a very small restaurant (24 seats inside) but has a nice atmosphere. The service was great until they got busy and then it became a complete absence to the point of getting up for the check. The appetizers though good was also disappointing. The empenadas had ranch on them, which can be fine but applying by default was strange. The chicharrón were not deep-fried which is what was expected. They were instead a crispy skin laid over lechon (roast pork) and cut into squares. The main courses were the stars of this visit. If you like garlic I highly recommend the Mofongo with puerquito. The prices were on the high side but the portions are pretty big.

I wanted to try a new restaurant. I was with my 2 little nieces 7 and 9. We shared the shrimp and mac and cheese empanadas, chicken fingers, and the fried rice. The girls LOVED the homemade passion fruit iced tea. We all enjoyed the food. Beyond my expectations for a Rutherford restaurant. Our server Dee was sweet and pleasant. The prices extremely reasonable. They deliver which is nice to know but dining in is so much nicer. The atmosphere/music/food/server all excellent. What a find! We will be back.

I had the Tri-Fongo with pork, and it was amazingly delicious. I couldn’t stop eating from my plate. I look forward to trying some of their other delicious dishes.

This was actually my first time here and I was truly grateful for the great service we received! We came here for my Mom’s 62 ND Birthday and I have to say the people here went above and beyond. The owner even added my mother’s picture to the menu. It was def a great touch to add to her birthday celebration. The apps were delicious and a big portion as well. The food was good and the music was awesome! We will definitely be coming here again! Great atmosphere
