This is the best Puerto Rican food in the area. The owners consistently make really delicious food at their truck. They are dedicated to their Facebook page so you know when they're open and what their specials are. Their birria is a personal favorite. I've been chasing their elusive birria mac n cheese bowl for a long time because it sells out so fast. I messaged them and they got back to me so I could finally get it. Dude, this was so good. I hope you guys get a dedicated space soon and I wish you all the best in your future foodie endeavors. Forever a fan.

You think you know tacos? Burritos? Nachos? You haven't seen nothing yet until you try this place. The food is phenomenal. Every meal is bursting with flavor that is mouthwatering and refreshing. Squeezing a lime over some tacos or taking a bite into a burrito packed full of fresh ingredients is unlike anything you have ever had. You can tell that the owners of this place put love and care into everything they make. It shows from the minute you place your order to when you take that first bite. Next time you're near the Norwich Marina, give them a shot.

Went this afternoon for lunch. Nice location and staff were excellent. Encanto fries blew my socks off. Very flavorful and a great value for $13. The birria was also phenomenal and loaded but I think the consume could use a little more flavor/salt? I will be back here for sure.
