They got a sign to fit the same light-box Raja's used |
Traditional stuff adorns the walls (nice machette) |
Once we figured out that there was a pretty busy menu to make choices from we decided to sit down at a table for a minute to study up a bit. If you are asking, I think that's the way to approach ordering here. Menus are not on the tables, but in a couple of bins at the front of the hot line. The printed menu has everything listed except for the daily special. We made our decisions, stepped back up to the Order Station, took our plastic trays and fired away with our orders at the very pleasant staff behind the counter. Behind us on a small shelf were the plastic utensils, napkins, ketchup packets, sugar etc. for us to pick up as we moved down the line.

"The Special" this day was 1/4 roasted chicken, veggie rice, fried plantains and a fountain drink for $5.49. Good value. Erin loved the way the chicken was cooked, "better than rotisserie at the store."
Presenting "The Special". Patty and Erin got this. |
Mom ordered, #58. De Pernil (Pork Sandwich) with Mojo Sauce. She liked the Mojo Sauce for sure and used almost the whole little container of it on the half she ate.
I got #63. Sandwich Cubano Con Cerdo (Cuban Sandwich with Pork). I also ordered a side of Fried Plantains. Not very adventurous of me as far as ordering anything "authentically Puerto Rican". Maybe next time I'll step out a little.

On our scale of YUCK to SUPER I would have to give this new place a Good plus rating. Just can't get away from the styrofoam and plastic for some reason, but the food made a lump.
Lunch for the four of us came to about $26.50 without tip .
