Very friendly staff with good quality food. Purchased a quesadilla, fried plantains, and chicken empanadas, all of which did not disappoint.
First time I saw this restaurant on my way to the Lilac festival! I stopped in after and got some yellow rice, beans and baked chicken. A salad came with it. It was so delicious! I'll be coming back for sure. Very friendly staff and very clean.
As a Dominican American, I am always excited when a new Latin restaurant opens up in Rochester. The giant flags outside drew my attention and once I walked in the door it reminded me of many other Dominican/Puerto Rican restaurants I’ve visited throughout the northeast. I immediately felt welcomed by the staff who were very attentive and willing to explain anything that was on the menu or the hot foods available to serve. Seeing as the name of the place is called “Pineapple Express” I had to try their pineapple bowl which was made fresh to order. I also ordered a chicken empanada to try, which I had to wait for as they were frying them at the time. The food ended up being wonderfully delicious, full of flavor, and the portions were perfect (I was full for hours and had leftovers). I added pics for you to see of both! If you want to try authentic foods from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, say no more. I will definitely come back again to try out their other items and can’t wait to see how this place grows in this busy area.
