What a fantastic spot for local Puerto Rican food! Started off with a spicy chicken empanada that was crunchy and incredibly flavorful. The chicken had a pleasant kick to it tooI also got the pork chop mofongo and absolutely loved it. The pork chop was crispy and had plenty of spices and bold flavors. It was my first time trying mofongo and I really enjoyed the plantain and how well it complemented the pork chops!

So many friends have told me about this Puerto Rican/Dominican restaurant and I was finally able to visit with a friend. Service by Brian was fantastic. He was super friendly and patient with all our questions. The food came out in a respectable amount of time in a very pleasing visual arrangement my friend had the mofongo with the grilled chicken breast. He loved the flavor and how moist it was. My pernil was juicy and full of flavor. The rice was slightly dry. Be wary of the upselling. The "Assumptive close" was in full effect. Don't assume the different types of rice they are offering are included in the main you ordered. I wasn't mad at them but at myself for not asking "does that cost extra?" Definitely coming back to try their other dishes.

I popped in for a quick stop for some lunch. La Yaroa Tropical Restaurant (LYTR) is quite large with 2 connecting spaces. From what I have observed on social media, I think they use one of the spaces as a lounge in darker hours. - Parking-Private lot, but spaces are very limited. - Noms- My dining partner and I opted to get an app and one main to share, as I have found that typically, Puerto Rican food, tends to be generous portions, served with a lot of the starches which are very heavy and filling.The lady who took care of us was super sweet and made some great recommendations.Alcapurria - this is a stuffed yuca fritter. It comes in a long shape, tasted deep fried and had a very flavorful ground meat stuffing inside. I could have had another one, but then I think I would not have made it to the mofongo.Camarones en salsa criolla with mofongo - the shrimps were delicious, I just wish they were slightly a bit bigger with more bite. The sauce was flavorful and added some moisture to the mofongo. The presentation transported me back to the island with the orchid flower on top!LYTR had been on my list for awhile, so I'm really glad I got to check it off the list! Enjoy, Friends and go out and support! #LatinXOwned

5 yrs ago when I was first introduced to this restaurant, the food was amazing and the service was not so great. 5yrs later, service is great and the food is soooo salty. Not sure who is the cook, but they have to ease up on the adobo.I ordered chicharron de pollo with moro de gandules and a side of beans..I also ordered my 14month son pechurina, which is breaded chicken strips with white rice and beans... I tasted his food first and did not feel safe giving him those salty chicken strips. i then tasted my chicken chunks and they were salty too. Prices are getting higher, food getting saltier, but service is getting better. Idk what happened to this place, but it will most likely be my last time coming to this restaurant, sad to say.

This place seems to be a restaurant that converts to a nightclub. For me, what was a damper was the sticky tables, noisy music and the wait to get served. Once service came along it was ok. I get it, hire those who seem to have a yearning to work, but at least train the servers/waitresses properly. I asked if the meal was accompanied by a side salad and was told yes. What I got was a huge salad and charged for it. Also, If I order appetizers, don't bring them out after you have brought me the main course. Food was ok, beans were Luke warm. But the oil that fried the patty was dirty. Zoom in on the pic I posted and you can see a piece of something on it. Sorry, but not impressed at all. Would still give them another shot, just to be fair. Very ok to me

Very interesting place! But would go back to try their food during lunch or definetly before 7 pm.Want it to experience some salsa dancing as per some reviews.!Saturday... no salsa music. All reggaeton, which is fine if you want that kinda music but! For a place so small. The club wanna be feeling does not work. $20 cover charge.End up leaving after ordering some food.Music was so loud that could not stand to be a minute longer.Our server, appeared to be in a rush. Nd up ordering a picada from the apps menu. Food arrived and was asked to pay ion the spot.I would not recommend this place after 9 pm.

Si van a anunciar la noche con un titulo de un artista, no vengan a ponerme 5 min del artista y dsps pongan ni que Jamaican music. No les crean si ven que si titulos de Bad Bunny para el party. Y sorry eso no es ni un club y tienen a las tipas ahi con las nalgas por fuera pa clavarte 150 pa una mesa o un bench. Mano first time y nunca mas. Y 13 pa un drink en el lugar ese sorry pero no se crean la gran cosa.
