"I got the mofongo clasico and honestly it wasn’t my favorite."
"I ordered two empanadas, which were okay (they lacked seasoning and the one with plantain literally just tasted like mashed up plantain-didn’t get any hints of cheese or veggie meat)."
"The macaroni and cheese tasted okay."
"The mofonguitos were eh; I didn't think they were amazing like other reviews reported and it was also cold when I got home."

"It would be nice to have metal utensils—it is really hard to cut an empenada or the mini mofongo w a plastic knife."
"One of the cooks... said 'Ni-hao'... 'Chinese? Japanese?' Our families are Korean but the two of us are very much born Americans."
"They were unable to refund me since my order was placed at their other location, and if tried to order again there was an extra $10 fee for ‘food waste’."

"The issue was that the lady at the counter REFUSED to give me my money back, until started to become upset."
"The service is absolutely horrendous."
