"This Puerto Rican spot in the Yards is serving flavor with a capital “F”, in everything from the sandwiches to the batidos (milkshakes). It’s a brightly colored family-friendly place (yes there’s a bar) that can get you in and out of in under 30 minutes, depending how quickly you’re able to pick between the mata hambre (steak, egg, and cheese) and jibarito made with fried plantains as the bread. Use your phone to order food at your table—try to get one with a swing—and someone will bring it right to you. Or, you can grab-and-go at the dedicated takeout counter complete with an old-school black and white menu with the slide-on letters." - tristiana hinton
