“ Amazing food and really friendly staff. The Bandeja Tipica is a slam dunk. It's tiny, so if you're eating in, plan accordingly. ”
“ Dined in before a Saturday night performance at The Linda. Excellent food and attentive service. Bit of a wait for our orders. Understandable given how slammed the kitchen was with take out orders. A constant flow of locals coming in for their food. It is obvious why they are busy. The food was excellent. Very generous portions. We had the Arroz con Pollo and the Arroz con Camarones. Both were very tasty and extremely filling. Their salsa picante added some extra heat. If I lived around here, we would definitely return. Great neighborhood restaurant. (Just a note: there is limited indoor seating. Plenty of street parking.) ”
“ I love pio pio! I always get too full when I eat here because I want to finish the whole thing. I dream of the batidos ”
“ Five stars tasty food Warm and cute place, the "Flan" was good, the waitress is really kind, for sure I will try diferentes dishes the next time I will been in Albany, this time I try the bandeja paisa and I like the crunchy but soft meat, I like spicy food they have sauces but no is the spicy that I was looking. 5 stars ”
