What a gem. I've heard a lot about this location and made the drive from Peoria just to try this place. Service was amazing, the owner and staff are very accommodating and polite. You feel like you are home. Food was delicious... the classic jibarito is something you just can't beat. I always get 1 to eat there and one to go to eat later. Will be returning.

Hole in the wall, food was really good and mid price. Liked the people too. I had a friend who spent a lot of time in PR and she thought it was authentic.
