I have ordered the Black Paella for takeout or delivery 9 times now, and it is one of only 2 dishes I have tried from this restaurant (the other being rice with cuttlefish, which was much less flavorful/exciting). Overall, my experience has been quite inconsistent, with some dishes being excellent while others are only average. One positive aspect is the abundance of seafood - I particularly enjoy the tender squid and perfectly cooked scallops. There are many delicious flavors when the dish is prepared correctly, and the ripe plantains are also a standout. However, there are some downsides to consider: 1) occasionally finding broken shells and grit in the dish (eating slowly is recommended),...
As a Latino from Miami that moves to NH, I really feel for this place because it is hard 2 find real hispanic good food around NH, even tho this is in MA, the hour trip from where I live now is worth it. I knew this would be good because the moment we were there was 3 grandmothers in the kitchen. I also loved that the staff was honest when they told me, yes the croquetas are the boxes that you can buy (Goya brand) but the papá y rellena empanadas that we are made in the house and that is definitely true, we have them and that was the best papa rellena I ever had in my life. The food was for dying, epic aromas made us so happy, service for some may seem slow, but the food is on the point and...
We did take out ordered a variety plate with shredded chicken in sauce with salad and yellow rice, black seafood paella, seafood stew large, and tres leches cake. This was more than enough for 3 people with plenty of leftovers for around 65 dollars. The food is homey and tastes like what you friend's grandma would cook if you went to their house for dinner. They do not skimp on the portions and I LOVE that the stew was flavorful and not too salty! It came with buttered bread but stood on its own. The plantains were a good complement to the chicken and the paella was hearty and chock full of seafood. I figure they must use frozen, thus why the seafood entrees take much longer to prep, but the...
I ordered two beef patties and shredded CHICKEN, drove home, opened my containers and there it was...shredded BEEF A lukewarm, small amount of shredded beef and two dried-out stale beef pattiesI immediately called to give someone an earful but they closed for the night.How can chicken be mistaken for beef, or vice versa??

Fantastic food. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share mofongo, ceviche, cuban sandwich, beef tongue, skirt steak, yellow rice with pigeon peas and plantains, and a couple empanadas. For dessert we got the flan, tres leches, and the guava and cream cheese. Everything was so delicious! Also loved the maple seating and the walls covered in photos and art.
The food here is awesome always large plates everything is good but the quality goes down as it getting later in the day I suggest you want you best meal arrive early you wil leave full and happy!!!
I had the chorizo and the Cuban sandwich. Excellent! The sweet plantains, black beans, and flan were also amazing. Yes... Ordered a lot and took most of it to go and it was all fantastic.
The food at this restaurant is both hearty and delicious, and comes at a great price. I appreciate the local vibe of the place. Make sure to try the oxtail and plantains!
