   I can't overstate how impressed I am with this hidden gem. The food was outstanding. I had the camarones for an app and it was delicious. For my main I had the ropa viejas. It was fantastic. The service was equally good. I will definitely be going back.

   This restaurant is a hidden gem. The food is excellent and the service extraordinary. I hope that more people find out about it so that it thrives. It is rare to find authentic Puerto Rican food this good.

   We went on Valentine's Day. Thought it was great. First time there, so relied somewhat on Open Table, website to assess. The website is beautiful. Very upscale. The actual restaurant is not that upscale. The over-all decor needs work. Very sparse. I'm sure they will improve with time. We were immediately greeted by Arturo, who was our gracious and enthusiastic server for the evening. He seemed to be involved in the evening to the extent we think he may have been the owner or manager. The cocktails seemed to be a focal point. One thing I actually liked was a much simplifoed wine list. Like there was 0ne Cabernet, one Chardonnay, one Pinot Noir. A total of approx. 6 - 8 options. All were $15 for a glass. My Cabernet was really good. So, the food was outstanding. We had the crab & avocado on tostones, and the camarones with tostones also. Then split the Pernil (pork shoulder). Everything was excellent. Looking forward to returning and trying the Jibarito, Bistec and Arroz con Pollo.

   This was our first time here and we will definitely be back. Delicious Puerto Rican style food including the best tostones I've ever had! The ceviche was good but a bit spicy. Amazing flan that almost tasted like cheesecake!

   Such a gem of a restaurant — the Queso was delicious, as was the Pernil and Jibarito. A small slice of flan topped it all off. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu…just a lovely place!

   We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Estacion! The Queso appetizer, our main courses and the Flan were all delicious. I highly recommend giving this lovely neighborhood spot a try. The atmosphere is colorful and warm, all around a good experience.
