Mom and pa shop! Feels like it and they treat you like their own child with attentive service, quick food, with massive portions. Each meal here is easily 2-3 meals in one!

Came in with a couple friends starving, and left fuller than ever! Highly recommend the traditional platter which comes with so much food for a reasonable price. The hot sauce also seemed to be fresh and tasted phenomenal. We can’t wait to come by again- will be getting the tres leches cake again

I grabbed the grilled chicken wrap on my way to a show to the Music Hall of Williamsburg. I wasn't disappointed. It came with fries and a spicy sauce that reminds me of Haitian spices called Pikliz. I'll definitely be back.

A Mom & Pop is always gonna be my first choice when I’m in Williamsburg. I only had a lentil soup with white rice and avocado. The lentil soup could’ve had a little more flavor but it was still good nonetheless. A comforting, hearty meal for only $13, and the staff were nice.

I’m selling Christmas trees nearby, so I’ve visited a couple times and will continue to. Friendly service, yummy breakfast sandwich. Their coffee is a nice dark brew and delicious.

What a fantastic lunch special. Entree with meat, rice, beans, salad, AND soup. Comes with a drink too. Very very good. The restaurant is clean and the service is friendly. Food came out fast. I would highly recommend it if you're in the area. Edit: I'm going to keep posting pictures of the lunch specials. Also, empanadas are excellent!

I come here often when I'm doing my laundry next door. The food is fantastic and it is great value they usually have a lunch special for $10. Last time I had stewed chicken and rice and it was delicious
