“ We are fans of the food! The rating is based on the quality of the food only. The goat is some of the best in the area. The place has large portions with plenty of flavor! If you want fancy this is not your place. We usually order it to go. ”
“ I am a fan of the food. The service and atmosphere is different yes, but it doesn't bother me. I think the reason some English speaking people are looked at kind of funny is because they don't speak much English, but if you just go with the flow...it all works out. The service is sometimes a little slow, but I actually like to take my time when I go out to eat, and I have never been rushed out the door. I have had quite a few dishes. She makes a really good soup, and the Galapagos Shrimp is very good. My granddaughter had the fried chicken also delish! Hands down she makes the best papoosa of all the Spanish places in Morristown. Galapagos is an Equadorian name but I believe the woman that owns it is from Central America...that accounts for many of the central American dishes like the papoosa on the menu. ”
