    Fried chicken, yellow rice, plantains. Plus pineapple mango smoothie.
    Melody O.

    They still need to get a few things worked out but I give four stars because the smoothie was out of this world. My problem was toward the end of my meal. The employee started using a really strong cleaner on the tables around me so I packed up. Bought a smoothie. Sat back down. Then the same employee started stacking the chairs in a loud, aggressive way. It was Halloween so I'm thinking maybe they are closing early and I just left. An hour later I drove by and the open sign was still lit. I had a problem once before and the manager took care of it. Don't get me wrong, the food is out of this world. I just don't understand the attitude.

    Wonderful little hidden gem here in Albany, Georgia. Delicious Caribbean food for sure! Customer service is excellent, we had the opportunity to meet Manuel, he gave us a little bit of the history of his place. We will return for more tasty Caribbean cuisine!

    Great Customer service and Amazing food! Also Allergy friendly.. I have Celiac Disease and have eaten Gluten free for 10+ years and never gotten cross contaminated here thanks to the owner that went over the options with me the very first time I ate here.

    Great place to eat for Caribbean style food. The mofongo is worth the wait for sure. Also a good price for the amount of food.

    Puerto Rican cuisine is far from an area of my expertise, but I am well-versed in the perils of the…read morebuffet. Few cuisines lend themselves to buffet service as only certain types of foods sit well for long periods of time. Fried foods are the worst, as their golden crispy crunch can quickly become oily and soggy. Roasted foods aren't much better, as they begin to dry out as they sit. The only things that preserve well are soups and other liquid-based foods, as they are kept the proper temperature while still maintaining their original quality. As such, my experience with the buffet at Borinquen was decidedly mixed. Things like the lentils, beans, and this fish and potato stew were nice and interesting, and I was even able to catch some fried fish as it was coming out of the oven that was enjoyable, too. The fried plantains, on the other hand... not so much. I'm left with an impression of a restaurant that certainly has what it takes to offer some good Puerto Rican food, but the talent is being squandered by the lunch buffet. Dinner would probably be a better bet.

    We went on Wednesday for lunch. The place was practically empty except for 2 tables. The staff…read morewasn't very friendly. Nobody greeted us even though they saw us. We had to ask how things operate and a lady told us it's self serve buffet style. We filled our plates and paid then sat down. Not once did anyone come over and ask how things were or check on us for anything. The food was less than mediocre Latin cuisine, really nothing special or worth driving to far for. Too bad because being Hispanic myself and being new to the Columbus area, I was really looking forward to some good Latin food but I didn't find that here. We didn't even go back for seconds. I used the restroom before I left and they were dirty and smelled bad. This entire place was one big disappointment.
