can be pretty hit or miss. they run out of much of their menu and the food can get drier later in the day so better to come in the morning. pork soup was too oily+ fatty and chicken + beef's textures were too rough/dry COME IN THE MORNINGS cheaper by cash

Terrible 3 golpes. The mangu is so liquidy and flavorless. I got two orange juice cartons for $2.50 each and they WARM. It’s currently in my freezer. I threw out most of the food. A homeless man asked to use the bathroom for a dollar… Edit: I opened the two orange juice box, the one set to expire July 1st 2024 was a lot darker than the one to expire Aug 6th 2024. Someone needs to inspect this place before they sell more trash to us south Bronx residents.
Was really craving Tres Golpes and this was the closest place. Read the reviews and figured if they really rude the food must be really good, we were wrong + we can confirm they are truly rude and disrespectful. The unions were not pickled… food extremely oily and greasy, the bag was soaked and the containers dripping oil.

Horrible service and food!

Lady in the morning has horrible attitude and is racist. Gave me pork when I don’t eat pork and tried talking about me in Spanish when I asked for a plate with no pork. I understand Spanish so once I started speaking Spanish she didn’t have much else to say. Garbage place with garbage workers .
They did not send what we ordered instead of chicharron sin hueso we got regular chicken cut off the bone,representative was very unprofessional over the phone. They went to the wrong address so i had to wait downstairs and i gave the delivery guy a tip..The whole salad that comes with the combo was rotten will post pictures below
The “ladies “ that work there are really rude and they’re only nice if you’re a male don’t know what kind of business they’re running here 🤔
