We decided to visit this place because social media kept highlighting it, and we came with family and old friends. We ordered Puerto Rican flavors, but I have to say, they did not deliver on authenticity. It was quite disappointing, especially after the long drive we took to get here. The tostones were decent, but they didn't provide mayo ketchup, which is a must for me. I prefer garlic oil, yet that wasn’t an option, so we ended up dousing them in salt. They were softer than I like and lacked that desired crispiness. The pernil sandwich was drenched in hot sauce, which is not how pernil should be served. Quite frankly, it was disappointing. We also ordered arroz con gandules, but they brought out a different type of bean on top that didn’t resemble the traditional habichuelas. This might be acceptable for those who have never had Puerto Rican food, but for someone like me, a Boricua, it felt off. On a positive note, the place boasts a great view of the Colombian River, making it perfect for drinks and beers while enjoying the scenery.

Fun, quick lunch right on the water. It was so nice to sit outside on the Columbia river enjoying the sunshine for a quick birthday lunch. The owner and staff were extremely nice and recommended several things on the menu. The menu was simple but had enough options to suit all crowds. They have a beer cooler that you can help yourself to after ordering. Fun summer vibe!

Aloha, The food was really good and tasty. They're was a very nice breeze on the outside patio. Our bench was in the shade and the staff was very nice. I will be going back there soon. There was a very nice view of Washington state and the Columbian River. There were nice native music on in the background. There are so many more dishes to try next time I'm there. There was also a steady rock as we were on the water. Thank you so much for the experience. Mahalo
