Great food. Huuugggeee portions (I got 2 full meals and Im a big eater) for the price. I got the chicken, black beans, and yellow rice. Chicken was super flavorful but honestly the rice and beans were the star. I could have had a whole thing of just them. My wife got the pork and it was cooked well but bland in terms of spice.
Cafeteria style ordering and I will say if you do not speak Spanish and are unfamiliar with the cuisine it may feel overwhelming, especially since they are usually busy. You gotta make a choice and get going!

The place was clean and for that i give it a star. However, the fish was cold and the skin was tough/soggy. The rice was warm and the beans were warm. Basically nothing was hot (165 degrees). I will probably be sick later. The tea was not sweet. I wish we would have been offered the food fresh. I know it is cafeteria style but it would have been nice to eat an actual fried fish. The cleaning lady was cleaning the entire time so i appreciate that.
