Fabi's is a small Puerto Rican restaurant on the downtown side of Fair Haven. They have a number of…read moreprepared foods in the case. Good looking stuff. You can also order things that they'll prepare. There are seats, but most people got take out. Both the workers and customers were welcoming. I ordered pernil, Arroz con Gandules and a pizza empanada. And also a large Guava Agua Fresca. I was mixing that big tub of Agua Fresca with water for days. So good. The rice and pork were both good too. I'd probably get a sandwich next time I go. I didn't this time because I had already eaten and bought the rice and pork for later. The empanda was on par with other similar Puerto Rican spots. Fabi's is definitely worth checking out. I understand they're on one or more of the delivery Apps for the New Haven area. 4.25 Stars

I ordered takeout from here and I tried the Shrimp Lover Mofongo Bowl, which comes with two types…read moreof shrimp, white rice, yellow rice, and mofongo and it did not disappoint. The mofongo was incredibly soft and flavorful; I honestly couldn't stop eating it. I also tried the birria tacos. The hot sauce was great, but the dipping sauce could use a bit more flavor. That said, I'll definitely be back for the mofongo dishes. It was that memorable I'm still thinking about it!

Tasty lunch to go! My boss ordered for me when he picked up his pulled pork rice bowl (which he…read moreloved!) but since my adobo chicken mofongo took a bit longer, I walked back over to pick it up. The friendly lady there, Rosa, was kind enough to hold for me so my boss could come back and get to work. The mofongo was delicious! This hidden gem might become my go to lunch spot!

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.

The service was great, I was welcomed with open arms and I had the option to order in spanish or english. The shop is a bit small, but everything looked freshly made, seats for customers to enjoy their meals or take out options. The price was good, I'm from NY so whenever I eat puerto rican food I am able to get it at an affordable price. In CT it's always been over 20-25$, but I got a medium plate of Pernil, rice and beans, 2 alcapurrias, and 2 plates of plantain for 18.50$

THIS PLACE RIGHT HERE!!!!! Best Puerto Rican food ever!!!…read more When you go in there, there may be a long line, but it's worth the wait! The food is fresh and delicious.

We are very blessed . . …read more That our area of Southeastern Connecticut has such a large Puerto Rican population - - or we may have never tasted the wonderful food that this restaurant offers. One of the best, if not THE VERY BEST, restaurants in the local area. My only concerns: 1) I didn't see a bathroom, but I didn't need one ‍; 2) we could have used a knife for the pork stick, but we should have asked. The staff is extremely helpful. Wonderful designs, with lots of inspiration. Now for the food: - Chicken Steam Plate: Chicken leg, rice & beans, fried plantain pieces. Chicken super moist, rice was outstanding, & plantains were very tasty. - Beef Stew: very good, similar to Filipino Beef Mechado. - Pork Stick: great tasting pork - - for me, I would have liked a bit more "fatty" on my stick, but it was really meaty!!! - Beans were nicely done. - Smashed Plantains were served with 1000 Island dressing: probably just as good without the dressing. - Ground Beef Empanada: good, a bit of vegetables would have put it over the top (potatoes, onions, carrots, peas) - - but that's there style. - Chicken Empanada: ok, a bit salty for us. Enjoy!!!!!

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.

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
