“ I've been to this Latin food spot a few times and has always been a good experience; large portions, good prices and lots of options on the menu. Recommended! ”
“ (Video experience on Youtube @ OnTheRodas) The food here is delicious. We ordered the 1/4 chicken con todo (with 3 sides) and a carne asada. Great service and priced extremely well! ”
“ Always wanted to try this place and really enjoyed it. Very low key and simple with part kitchen, part grocery store and part places to sit. I ended up with the Bandeja Chapin which was chicken, marinated steak and pork. Came with rice, beans and salad. Very good! Folks were very nice. Definitely would go back! ”
“ This place is so good! It is dangerously close to my house. I really could eat from here every day. Everything we have tried has been delicious. Their roasted chicken is a favorite. As well as empanadas and quesadillas. I haven't tried all the offerings on the menu but I look forward to making my way through it. What we have tried, is always fresh and well seasoned. Definitely our neighborhood spot. ”
“ Small mom and pop restaurant in Trenton. They have a pretty good selection of Latin food and a decently priced lunch menu! I ordered their half chicken with rice, beans, and a salad for $10. The chicken was very flavorful and "fall off the bone" tenderness! Next time I'm in Trenton, I'd definitely visit this place again! ”
