We were fortunate enough to be able to dine-in during the pandemic, right before another lockdown in Tracy, California. The food was phenomenal. All of the flavors, presentation, and variety... reminded me of my favorite Caribbean dishes. We had the chicken/cheese/veggie pastelitos, cheese & Loroco papusas, chicken tamales, black beans, rice, tropical salad, and avocado salad. This is truly a hidden gem!

This place used to have decent lunch specials at $19.99. A bit expensive, but bearable. Now, it's $24.99! Whaaat? A 25% increase at one go? Who is running their business? Who raises prices like that? Usually, it's a 5-10% increase at a time, but that 25% is just too much. I will not go there anymore when it costs this much!

Always delicious. I love their papusas, yuka and avocado salad. It's pretty pricey now but we still go there when we can.

Food and service was really good! I saw the previous reviews about bad service but had no. issue at all. The lunch special was such a great deal for only $14.99. I got 2 pupusas (chicharrones & revueltos con frijoles) and side tropical salad combo. The portions are huge! I also tried the fried yucca and chicharrones, which was really tasty. The pork was crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. The refried beans were delicious too. Next time I will try the seafood soup!

This place is by far one of the best, I traveled from Brentwood to Tracy to try their food again and they never disappoint, the attention of their staff, the music, the cleanliness throughout, and above all the food is very good, reasonable prices and an extensive menu, including several options for children, my children and I loved it! Anthony attention is unmatched.
