Food was tasty and fresh, giving homemade Puerto Rican culture and filling.Staff was pleasant and gave big scoops of food, well worth the price (Chipotle take note)It was pretty much empty when we arrived, and I recommend this as a good stop for lunch since it's near the airport.Would definitely come back. - Bobby III
