We ordered the pernil and rice platter, the bistec salteado, a shrimp mofongo, a kids chicken tender meal, and a couple pastellios to start. Everything was so flavorful and mostly cooked to order, including the kids meal. The decor is also gorgeous inside, rooted in Puerto Rican and Taino culture. We really enjoyed our meal and experience, and they even sent us off with a couple alcapurrias on the house! We're gonna try to stop back in again before we leave, can't recommend this place enough!

When you see Hispanic patrons frequenting the restaurant you know you are eating authentic cuisine from people who know amazing Puerto Rican cuisine!

Monfongo, bifongo, trifongo . . . Since it was our first time in, we tried a lot of different items. The Monfongo with chicharones de pollo was excellent. The pastillilo de carne was good. The papas locas (with carne) was really good. It was so big, we couldn't finish it. We ordered it for an appetizer but it really could be an entree. The arroz con gondules was good. It could have had a little more flavor, but it was fine. I ordered a side of the trifongo since only the monfongo came with the entrees. I really liked their trifongo. Hubby got the pina colada frappe and it was very good, very fresh. Definitely a good place to visit. Street parking. Service was a little scattered and it took a lot longer for our food than expected. Lots of families and lots of people taking out, in addition to almost packed tables. Go, enjoy the Boricua food and feel like you're on an island. :)

We ordered the sorullos, chicharron de pollo, and chicharron de cerdo, along with side of rice and beans. The rice, beans, and sorullos, were hot and fresh. But I found the fried chicken to be dry. The fried pork belly had an off taste/aroma to it as pork sometimes does. I've had better for the price.

Came here sometime ago to eat and test their food for possible catering for our daughter's wedding…read more Her wedding was May 31st. They did not disappoint! Everyone complemented the food. Now I don't trust people to be truly honest in a setting like a wedding, so I looked for proof. All the food was gone! Gone! So many took some home with them, there's was nothing to store or even throw out. So yeah I would say that past the test. Recommend a visit to eat there, or to cater especially if your event is in Pennsylvania. Your only other choice is to drive food in of this quality from New York itself.

They have tons of options from baked chicken, fried chicken, empanadas, pernil, stews, etc.. I ordered the pernil and it came with arroz con gondules, plantains, and cabbage. Everything was seasoned to perfection and had enough salt. The pork was insane!!!! I can't even describe how luscious it was. Even the cabbage stood out! Not over cooked and had a ton of flavor. Service was excellent. I sometimes say "I wish I could bring this place back with me", but this time I mean it more than ever. Tastes like family. Love it.

I took a chance on something new tonight (Sopes) and was thrilled that I did. I loved it! The chicken was extremely tender and seasoned well. (I don't like anything overly seasoned or spicy, and this was perfectly balanced with flavor. The fresh lime added a nice flavor enhancing touch as well. The horchata was served cold and refreshing! It was like a guilty pleasure to drink. The chips were crispy and the guacamole was really nicely prepared, fresh, and delicious! (I could have eaten a bowl of it. It was so good!) The other individual in our party thoroughly enjoyed the tacos and their side of mole sauce. The food was promptly prepared and served hot. Our waitress was kind and efficient in her response to our needs. The restaurant had a small dining area but big enough to accommodate multiple tables. We were able to fully enjoy our meal without feeling rushed or crowded. We each drove about 30 minutes to get here and agreed that it was worth the drive. I will certainly be back sometime!
