Chowhound - For those who love to eat!, May 2009
"Wow! What a find this place is. I went for lunch the other day and had the best Mofongo I have ever had. "We reviewed the choices and decided to take the whole family back for the Sunday special, lechon with arroz con gandules. I don't think I have ever seen lechon in DFW. This dish was incredible and they gave us such a big portion that we had a nice leftovers meal the next day. My wife also tried the sancocho. It almost brought her to tears, because It was so good and reminded her of her grandmothers recipe"." The atmosphere and service are top notch. Run, don't walk to this place. It is the best foodie find I have made in a long time."
