"I forgive them; they made my burrito nice and fat. Never in my life had I had a burrito this good and big. They cooked with my order. I'll miss the barbacoa, but as long as they are making burritos like this, I'm still coming back."
"Never in my days had I had a burrito this good. It even cleared Chipotle by a whole mile and a change. I've never had such a fat burrito in my life that didn't change the taste of the burrito. It gave you enough food for the burrito to be fat and also be a beautiful masterpiece; it was so beautiful. When I got to the last bite of my burrito, I was a bit sad. I'm getting it again tomorrow"

"Egusi WAS AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS, YAM FUFU IS PERFECT AND PERFECT WITH THE SWEAT PLAINTAIN BUT AMALA and EBA WAS FOR TASTY OVERALL BEST AFRICAN FOOD IN NYC"
"I won't lie, usually the food is really good even though it can be a hit or miss sometimes. When it's good it's good.. However, This is the second time I ordered the Jollof rice with the fish and the fish is burnt and I mean burnt burnt. They put the gravy over it to mask how burnt it is and the rice taste stale as if it's a day or so old. The rice is also clumping together that's how I know it's not fresh rice. It's not Shelly and it's lacking in flavor this time. Very disappointing. I find it disheartening that I'm spending almost $50 for burnt and day old food. But as I said before, when the food is fresh and good, it's really good. I just wish they would maintain some type of consistency with the flavor and freshness, especially being that it's so expensive. One thing I can say, though you get enough bang for your buck, they give a satisfying amount of rice, in its own container, which is good. I would still recommend them though maybe sometimes they just be having a off day. I would still order again just need them to get it together."

"The Mojarra Frita was very small and over fried and not worth the $21 price. The empanadas did note taste good bc they had a slimy texture on the inside and were under seasoned. The Coctel de Camaron was excellent and portion size was good. The agua de Jamaica is an instance powder mix that is way too sugary - no es 'natural' la agua fresca."

Everything was cooked to perfection and the spices and seasonings were bold, robust, and beyond incredible.
