Food is good but the prices are way too high. $17 for pork chops and rice? $17 for a couple of piece of meat with rice? That’s insane
We found this little gem on a road trip. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were visiting our family. (I'm guessing it was) Carmen greeted us with a smile, and immediately came over to tell us what the items on the menu were. She was really sweet. The portions were satisfying, and the food delicious. We left with full, happy bellies. As we were sitting down, several other groups came in, seemed like we got there just in time to get full attention. I'd recommend if you're ever in the area.
I tried this place based on some of the reviews. As many mentioned, the place was clean and orderly, service was basic and food is okay. I would never recommend the beef steak for 18.99 as it looks like shredded steak-ums and very very dry and thin pieces as shown in the photo. They also charged me a processing fee when I paid cash… So make sure you check your receipts. As much as I would have loved to give a 5 star rating, I have to be honest to those looking to visit this restaurant.
