   I don't come here often but when I do, I am usually surprised at the home style Spanish cooking quality that comes out of the kitchen. I don't know whether to give it two stars for being a: —needing renovation—, —semi-hang out spot with drinking booze at night— type restaurant or throw in an extra star because the food is good during mid day hours. The food is nothing amazing unless you like basic food that is pretty good, meaning nothing fancy: you can serve mayo in a condiment dish or you can make it Tartar sauce to up the name. This place is your basic mayo serving "diner". I quoted diner because it's not really a diner even though it serves a variety of food including diner style foods. The fridge carries many drinks including a cold Corona and Jarritos soda. The decor is blah, almost hole in the wall. Don't make your way out for this place but if you happen to be hungry when on the 7 train and near Queens Blvd and 33rd street, it is very conveniently off the subway station. Good for a platter of decent Spanish rice, toppings or sides like Mofongo for around $10, especially for the college crowd from Laguardia College.

   A colleague came into work this afternoon with a bag of food smelling like fried chicken, it smelled so good. When I told her she offered me a piece of fried pork, damn that was flavorful and the fried plantains also had very gooood flavor, both seemed deep fried, mmmm, and I mean dark where the meat shrinks a bit from frying and the plantains dark but darn flavorful.

   If you're looking for breakfast when around the area, they have a mean greasy grill also that can whip you up a bunch of eggs, bacon and home fries.

   Try not to get there in the afternoon because that's when you get the left over scraps. But during lunch hours, yum!

   Enjoy the Spanish music playing.
