"Oakland’s first full-fledged Puerto Rican restaurant comes courtesy of Cheo Ortiz and family, who previously ran their business out of a tiny kitchen set inside a Dimond District convenience store. With a much larger space at the Ortizes’ disposal, expect a more expansive menu anchored by homey classics like pernil and arroz con gandules. Eventually, the space will open up indoors for live music and dancing." - Luke Tsai
