    Alcapurria
    Christina R.

    A lot has changed since they remodeled or changed ownership. The case is nice and the food looks fresh but the taste is slightly different. Before I would rush to get there early for my alcapurrias but now I don't even like them. The meat taste different, more sweeter/tangy and the outer banana is more tough as though they have been sitting out for some time or were reheated. No Bueno

    Tried this place for lunch once and now I get food from there at least once a week. I have tried their yellow rice " arroz con guandulez " and pork chop "chuleta. On another occasion I tried the yellow rice with black beans and the oxtail. Both time food was delicious. Definitely one of the perks of working in New Haven is that there is so many good places to eat. Is not the prettiest place but is cozy and food is delicious. They also have natural juices which are also delicious. The small plate is $6 but they put in so much food that I haven't been able to eat the whole meal. How many times can I write the word delicious lol. Definitely worth trying.

    Amazing

    If you are looking for foodie heaven this is it. $20 goes very very far. The servings is abundant. The food is glorious. Pretty hard to find this spot. It's not in the best location in New Haven, but don't let that deter you from the visit. They have parking in the back which I recently discovered, yes this more than 2x now visiting this place. The Spanish food is that good. I can't say any more compliments about it. Come one come all yelpers. This is the best spot for Spanish food in CT.

    Arroz Guandules y Pollo combo
    Pay D.

    Stopped by this spot for a late lunch and what a great choice. We grabbed our food to go but after getting the medium size combo, I found myself eating three times for the price of one. I ordered the arroz con guandules y pollo combo, and it tasted just like home! I'm rating the restaurant 4/5 because we also ordered all types of the empanadas and they weren't good and tasted pretty stale. However the rest of the food was great and I will be checking them out again next time i'm in town for sure.

    Grilled salmon

    I've been coming here for the past couple months. Food is up and down in quality. Workers can really work on fixing their attitude. They seem to have a bias when dealing with other hispanic customers, but with others who aren't Spanish speaking, they seem off-puttish. I have had instances where they've been rude and unprofessional, but today was the last straw. Food was not great (grilled salmon was dry and flavorless), and the person serving me had an attitude. I NEVER walk into an establishment rude to the workers. However, this woman seemed to have an issue. Will not be coming here again.

    The rice and beans, plantain and potato salad are amazing. I don't eat meat so those are the food items I enjoy. Yum yum!

    Enjoyable meal and great selections. Clean eating area for a take out resturant vibe. Great helpful…read moreservice next time I'll read the menu I picked with my eyes. Lots of leftovers.

    My first time here over the summer was good overall! The food was hot and the staff was friendly,…read morewhich I appreciated. They have a good amount of seating available inside and great options to choose from. We did end up grabbing some made to order alcapurrias. All 3 tasted good but they needed hot sauce, lacking in flavor. I felt as the chicken one lacked the most flavor but was ok when hot sauce added & so did the pork one. I'll say that the ground beef alcapurria was my favorite out of the 3; although I still personally felt they all needed some hot sauce to add that kick missing. An alcapurria is a known Puerto Rican fritura/fried street food, growing up to even being an adult it's one of my favorite things if done right. We also had the bistec with rice, a side of beans, & a side of plantains. As well as the pernil with yellow rice. Both of these dishes lacked flavor, again needing hot sauce or missing something. The beans did have a good amount of flavor, which I enjoyed, & the plantains were slightly over fried. The visit itself was satisfying, I would return to give them another shot as well as hopefully try their carne guisada plate, which wasn't available at the time I went that day. I didn't give this business a 4 star rating simply because of the lack of flavor in mostly each item ordered. I would give it a solid 3.8 if I could.

Once you enter you place your order in front of the hot lunch spread. I ended up getting the Pernil ($13) which was alright, maybe because I'm spoiled from having Dominican food in Washington Heights/city. The Maduro ($1.80) was a bit dry, which kinda looks like it from my photo. I'm thinking it was an off day. I may try again. * Street parking * Indoor dining

They even had Coco Rico which I have not had since I left NYC in 92. BTW the flan was incredible. I really loved the food experience. Portions are spot on. It is like a bodega shop like I grew up with in Washington heights. Nice and welcoming. Very homey and I liked it. Nice place for an impromptu meal. Service needs a little help...My girl could be friendlier and provide service with smile versus the standoffish demeanor she had. You want me to be a repeat customer right? You want me to come back right? Then great me with a smile and serve me with a smile. When you open a restaurant this is primo important! Could be a language barrier thing but if someone can pass this along I will only take one star off because the food was delicious. Worth going to but my girl needs to up the service game por favor.
