I’ve been going to this restaurant for about maybe 6 to 8 years. I even moved to Elkridge and I still go there. The food is always fresh and tasty. Service is great. The owner is very friendly. He even speak Spanish. You definitely have to go here at least once. Trust me you’ll be back. The food is great. I always get the rotisserie chicken with rice either with plantains or a salad sometimes both and sometimes I get the taco salad. The taco salad comes with chicken or you can get it vegetarian and the guacamole is fresh. It’s very affordable. If you need your food fast, just give him a call ahead of time.

I ordered 1/4 chicken with plantain and rice & beans for takeout. Given the price and quality of the food I was satisfied. I’m going with 4 stars since I ordered take out. The food did not come hot and ready although I did arrive about 10 minutes after I was notified my food was ready then considering the drive home it took me a few minutes to sit and eat after picking up. I was also in and out so not much service to receive. The people working there greeted me, handed me my food, and I was out.

Unfortunately they no longer make Papa Ala Huancaina or the creamy potato side. All entrees that had them now have an optional side from their regular menu. The Pollo Ala Parilla had well was marinated in bold flavor (thin pounded grilled chicken). I love that you can get beans and rice as a single side, they are delicious. Yuca was alight. Coleslaw was also delicious and huge. They are very busy so call ahead to pick up. The yellow mayo sauce is very salty so a little goes a long way, while the green is also strong and spicy compared to for Americans. Personally this makes them better! Try the Thai burrito next.

The roast chicken was done perfectly, and the chicken bowl was great. The menu includes a variety of meat and seafood, and plenty of side dishes.

This is one of our go-to places when we want something good and quick. The food is excellent, and they are so quick. Great varied menu. Some of our favorites are the chicken and Barbara burritos, and the fried plantains, but everything is top notch. Kids love it. Green sauce is fantastic. We're so glad to have this in our neighborhood.
