The Shack with flavor... A delightful find while roadtripping. The aroma alone captured my senses. Monfongo, Conch, Asopao, and other hard to find Island delights were here! Great for dinners with the family, friends meet-up, road trip stop to eat, solo dinning. Staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. It has that shack on the island feel. Bathrooms were decent. Sufficient parking. Island music in the background at sound level ideal for conversation. I will definitely be back!
I love it here. This is my second visit, and it's just as good as before. Highly recommend the cheese balls with guava sauce. They even gave my mom a rose for mother's day! 10/10, would rate it even higher if I could!
10 out of 10 recommend. Perfect and quick service. We ordered fish tacos, manposteao rice, maduros, and a beef empanada. It came out pipping hot and tasted fresh. Absolutely delicious! The restaurant is full of character. Way better than any store front. If it had a full bar, I'd move in!!!
The Shack was such a great experience, from the staff to the food. The fried catfish was amazing. The batter was very flavorful and fried just perfect. Highly recommend
This food was delicious! It took me back to my vacation in the Puerto Rico!!! I had the crab empanadas. Stuffed plantain. Fish and chips. Shrimp Mofongo. Everything was so tasty and the wait staff was so sweet and friendly. Next time I’m trying the snapper. We will return for sure.
My coworker and I found this cute place by coincidence. We were totally surprised how exceptionally clean and really cute it was. Outstanding food, great prices, and the owners including the server were very nice! I will definitely go back! I love the outside sitting under that huge Tree! Check it out, you won't regret it! And you have to try that delicious Nutella Cheesecake.. 5 stars in my book...
Me and my family love trying new places to eat! We are so glad we chose this place! Their food is amazing and tastes so fresh. I got the fish tacos and they were some of the best I’ve had in a very long time. We will definitely be returning!
I have no clue why this place isn't packed!! We came here not even very hungry but ended up stuffing our faces because the food was that good. Not pictured is the cheese balls we decimated. And for the amount of food you get, the price is fabulous. Our server was adorable and helpful. I hope they get some live music on the weekends because we will be back
