Damn! That Lechón Sandwich hit the spot! Absolutely flavorful, the sandwich is pressed to crispy perfection, the lechón is well seasoned and juicy. The add of acidity from the pickled onion and creaminess of the door drip sauce beautifully ties the sandwich together. Not to mention the yucca fries are crispy and have ... a fluffy center. One final thing that parcha pina drink they have is so fruity and refreshing perfect for a hot summer day! Will be returning to try some rellenos de papa! Read More

David the owner is a great chef. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and kind. The jibarito sliders both lechon and beef were so good! The garlic oil on top of the deep fried plantains was so full of flavor and the plantains were flattened nice and thin and were crispy. The lechon was moist, tender, juicy, a nice ... amount for a slider. The beef was good quality and not fatty. They were both seasoned well and every bite was really good. The 2 sliders (in pic) were $15 ish and comes with rice and salad. Sweet plantains/maduros $4.99 were very sweet and nicely deep fried. This place is inside the Washington Hall food court right across the street from Block 37 where there’s more food and the AMC as well as rock climbing and private residences. Try David’s jibarito sliders bc we are definitely coming back. Read More

This place is in a small food court. The lady who helped us (the recipe said Hailey) was amazing and the food was delicious! They have many options and are even vegetarian friendly. I got the stew chicken bowl. My mother got the Berry Dope Lemonade. I took a sip and even that was great!

The food was hittingggg 10/10 . The jibarito sliders and the steak sandwich were so good. It has 5 stars for a reason. And the staff and service were very attentive.

At first we were hesitant about what the menu offered but we went anyways and OMG it did not disappoint!!! It’s just want we needed a little taste of home 🇵🇷 The owner was super humble and nice and was very helpful to all our needs. Food was 20/10 and very authentic flavor. That Lechón was to die for 🤤
