We live in the neighborhood, but somehow have never managed to try it. But today we had our dog with us and needed to find a place to go while we waited for work in our apartment to get done so we headed over. We ordered the fries, which were amazing, crispy, and seasoned along with four delicious sauces. We also had chocolate chip pancakes and huevos rancheros. All so tasty. And even beautifully plated. I actually can't name another diner that puts so much effort into plating. The service was warm, friendly and efficient. Don't let the small size and unassuming storefront fool you - this is a great diner. We will be coming back for sure! - M Colleen Cruz

  • The Burgers: Consistently hailed as some of the best diner burgers in Brooklyn. The patty is often described as "smashed, not pre-formed," resulting in a superior taste and texture.

  • Latin American Specialties: To experience the unique fusion, consider dishes like the Small or Large Tacos (Chicken, Steak, or Pernil), the Huevos Rancheros, or the Pernil with Rice and Beans. These items add depth and distinct flavor profiles that you won't find at a traditional diner.
  • The Fries and Sides: Even simple sides are excellent. Customers rave about the crispy, seasoned French Fries, and the Bacon, Egg and Cheese on a Croissant is frequently recommended as the place that "doesn't skimp on the bacon."
