I had someone buy some things from here. I found a big long black hair in my sweet plantains with meat. Put freaking hair nets to cover hair it was disgusting!!! Also alcapurias wasn’t all that no flavor in the meat or masa! Never buying anything from here again

I have to say that I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading some of the reviews in the last few months, but I guess whoever that lady is that everyone is complaining about either left or they told her to change her attitude cause the ladies there today were mostly attentive. So about the food; I wasn’t disappointed really because my expectations weren’t really that high. I was told the food was great but it really was just good. The pasteles were actually good with large chunks of meat and no fat. But all the food would have been better if it was hot. The food was nowhere near 140 degrees so I’m hoping no body gets sick eventually, I’m 12 hours in and no issues yet. The alcapurrias had too much masa and not enough meat (and not hot), however they weren’t super greasy like some complained about so that was good. Sweet plantains were good, but as long as they are ripe it’s hard to mess that up. If I lived somewhere where this type of food I’d hard to get I would settle for this place, but in New York or Florida there’s better places.
