"Was told that the Rice Cooker was slow, it took more than 45 minutes to be brought to me. I have ordered the Steak Jibarito which took a while too to be brought to me but both the Jibarito and the White Peppermint Mocha which were so delicious. I decided I didn't want the rice because it took forever to get to me after I finished my steak jibarito."
"Amazing atmosphere and delicious food! I had the El Meson and loved the portions and how it was prepared. A well-run family owned business. Come for the food/coffee, stay for the comfort"
