OK, it's 24-hour. That's a plus as it is. Even though the chicken can be seen sitting on trays to stay warm, which would make one think it would dry out, it's still juicy and delicious. Late night you have to wait some time for them to make mofongos, but it's only like a 10 minute wait. The menu is pretty lengthy, and nothing I ordered was bad...most of it was pretty darn good. Highlights were the chicken and the arroz con habichuelas. So simple, so good, especially during late-night hours. I walked away with two huge bags of food for $14. Can't beat the prices, seriously. I think they even deliver, but that may be worth double-checking.
Oh, and don't miss their coconut juice. Soooooo refreshing on a hot day. It's amazing. Seriously. Get a large size, you'll finish it faster than you'd think.
Great food at a really great price. I have ate here several times. They serve typical Latin fare like rotisserie chicken, plantains sweet or fried, rice and beans, stews, blood sausage, cuban sandwiches and a variety of fried foods like these potato balls stuffed with beef chunks and sauce or acapuria? Which is deep fried yuca stuffed with roast pork, omg so good and filling for $1.50. They also hv some great juices my faves are coco (coconut), chinola (passion fruit), and ajonjonlin (have no idea what the hell this is but it's my fave! Everything is pretty good except I think the Cuban sandwich is pretty substandard. The only thing that kept me from giving them 5 stars is the service because at times I feel I get passed over because I am white which is messed up since I live in the hood, I am a regular, and I speak a bit of Spanish.
