Ordered on Door Dash and this was my “pollo guisado.” Absolutely disgusting.
The chicken doesn’t even look edible.
Plus this small container was $23…never again.
They didn’t give either of my meals the arroz con gandules either.
They just sent one container of white rice and small container of beans.

“CANTITO” if we translate it, this means a little bit.
Latin cuisine to be more specific Boricua/Puerto Rican.
It is a small restaurant but big in flavor.
It has a small bar with a variety of drinks.
Let's talk about the protagonist of this visit: Fresh coconut lemonade, it is a drink from gods, super refreshing and delicious.
I had never heard it before but I ordered it at the recommendation of the lady who was at the bar.
100% recommended (I took it without alcohol).
The food: authentic Puerto Rican food with very good flavor, I didn't know what to order because I really wanted to order everything.
“The first time I ate alcapurria I was a lil kid and eating it transported me to those days.” I cannot fail to mention the attention of the staff, the chef approached my table and suggested options for ordering 10/10.
They definitely gained a new client.

Paid 40 dollars for a meal for two and they came out with the smallest bag possible.
Supposedly a whole roast chicken with two sides.
When we tried picking from their list on the menu clearly marked "sides", the sassy female host said actually you can only choose between 2 variations of rice and Mofongo.
First red flag.
Look at the pictures and tell me if that's enough for two people mind you, if it is worth 43 American dollars after tax.
What a joke.
Don't come here.
