Fantastic! We ordered the 1/4 chicken meals - beans, fried rice and plantains. Flavors were spot on and portions were plenty. We will definitely be back to try other dishes.

Have visited a couple of times and the chicken has always tasted great. This time I ordered a quarter chicken with Arroz chaufa and yuca fries. The rice was good although I tasted a bit much of ginger. The yuca fries were fried to their perfect doneness; crispy golden crust on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken was full of flavor not only on the skin but throughout the chicken. Everything tasted fresh. The accompanying yellow and green sauces complemented the food; the green sauce had enough kick to enhance the flavors of the chicken while the yellow velvety sauce elevated the taste of the yuca fries. The servings are plentiful.

The place is kept very clean. They only have 6 tables as their main focus appears to be to go orders; the place is big enough to double the amount of tables and more. The lighting is florescent ceiling grid and the decorations are very limited; mostly white walls. If dining in don't expect full service. You order at the counter and they'll bring out your food and drink and leave you to enjoy your food. Everything is served on disposable wares. The menu is extremely limited as they only have rotisserie chicken and multiple sides. Sometimes they have a promotional dish but that's about it. They have great prices; they should charge more to ensure their business succeeds. This is a great alternative to fast food: it's flavorful and healthier. I highly recommend this place for a quick bite or to go as they provide good and quick service.

I placed an order for pick up a few minutes after they opened this morning. It was ready when I got there. The restaurant was clean and the woman helping me was kind. I ordered the whole chicken with 2 sides. The chicken was seasoned so well. It was moist and still nice and hot. I loved the green sauce that came with it. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get. I will definitely be ordering food from here again.

Original review (after 2 visits for lunch): A hole in the wall in all the right ways. Prices are great. Portions are great. Flavor is phenomenal. I hope they don't change a thing!

Update: Took the wife and kids in for dinner tonight. Ordered the family meal and it did not disappoint. Owner's, again, we're super nice. Apologized for the lack of ice but brought out cups and our 2 liter (comes with the family meal) had obviously been in the fridge. Even though the family meal is "a whole chicken" (plus sides and a 2L), they had no problem quartering it for us. I will definitely be going back!

PS: Please remember that this is a small business and they close at 7:00 PM. They did not rush us out at all even though it was just after 7:00 as we we're wrapping up, but I'm sorry we kept them from cleaning up and getting home! :)
