I ordered a chicken croquette and the coconut fried chicken (1/4) with fried plantains and spicy cuban fries for my sides. The chicken croquette was great! Definitely worth trying. The jerk and mango dipping sauces were unique and amazing! I wanted to try some unique foods while visiting LA, and the dipping sauces fulfilled this criteria. Personally, I loved the mango sauce, but if you're a meat lover, you will love the jerk sauce more. The fried chicken was tender, and the coating was crisp but lacked coconut flavor - you would really have to focus and not put any dipping sauces on to taste a hint of coconut. Fried plantains were as expected. Spicy Cuban fries were not particularly spicy, but well, they're deep fried potato wedges.

We went there to eat something for dinner. We were surprised because ratio quality - price was excellent. Price is quite below average in LA. I tasted a burrito and It was big enough for 1 person, even if you are not a good eater It might take you some effort to finish It. They didn't sell beer but you are allowed to bring yours from outside, so we bought a couple in a liquor store which was close by. Nice Puerto Rico place to try agaian when I'm around.

Must get the Cha Cha Chicken which was full of Caribbean sweet flavor with fall apart chicken. The accompanying plantains with rice and beans were also great. The Coconut Fried Chicken came out steaming hot with a very light oil taste. While light in flavor, the dipping sauces included a yummy pineapple taste
