In Short
If you're craving authentic Puerto Rican and soul food but you don't feel like crossing the bridge or braving a hole-in-the-wall, this is the spot for you. Owner Chagui Cabrera makes it a point to greet everyone, a tone reflected in the staff. Bartenders are generous with their pours of Bacardi and Cokes and cooks serve sizeable portions of tostones, lechon and arroz con gandules, plus Southern classics like collard greens, chicken and baked mac and cheese. By night, professionals and laborers in their 30s spiff up their outfits for an evening of dinner and dancing to live Latin music.
