    Getting flautafied in Easton
    Lotsh N.

    I agree with the previous Yelpers. This place is a hole in the wall, but don't be confused- it's fire! I'm not one to make a laboratory inspection, but I couldn't help to notice it was SPOTLESS. The food was delicious. I got an order of flautas with rice and beans and my mom got pescado enchiladas. This was a really nice trip. The service was great and the two gentlemen were extremely helpful, fast, and efficient. I'd definitely come back. Leave your judgement on the sidewalk and take an open mind approach.

    Had a chicken burrito, rice and beans. All of it was really good. Great flavor in the rice and beans. Washed down with a Jarritos Mandarin, very good.

    Having only lived in the area for a short time i was in a hurry to find flavorful and toe tapping mexican Puerto Rican Food I was not disappointed here my order was hot and delicious i ordered chicken tacos they are served with fresh lime and cilantro and the Arroz y frijoles I think I fell in love this wasn't the refried variety but fresh rice with whole pintos and small potato cubes which I don't normally enjoy the owner is very proud of his place rightfully so

    Amazing! My boyfriend and I were visiting the area and we were really craving Spanish food. We decided to check this place out from the awesome reviews it had. A hole in the wall is right. From the outside you would never guess this place holds amazing food. We went during a slower time, our cook was also our server. Very kind and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our experience and it sucks that we live so far away!

    Pork mafungo - delicious!

    “While this place is a hole in the wall it by far served the best AUTHENTIC Mexican and Puerto Rican food I have had in a very, very long time.”

    I read the bad reviews from the other people and I couldn't believe the lies. First off, this place…read moredoes NOT charge a $3 service charge for using a credit card. They charge 3 percent so yeah if you buy $100 worth of food it would be $3 not for a dollar item. Second review I saw mentioned food prices. For the amount of food you get and the quality it is worth the price. I paid under $40 with tip (Just for refrence I tip 25%) for A cup of coffee, A Cuban sandwhich, a bottle of Mexican Cola, Rice and Beans, and two chicken empondas. I love the fact that it is a family business of the Mother and her two daughters. My wife and I went there the other week, 20 mins before closing and they sold out of the food my wife wanted. The owner (the Mom) was worried we wouldn't eat and offered to make us empondas on the house. (that was very nice, I got the empondas, but I wanted to pay) I am a regular customer there. My favorite homemade desert is the Strawberry Tres. Which is only $5. Yes a resturant in today's world is only charging $5. The place is always clean and the people there are always friendly to me. They treat me better than family. I will continue to be a returning customer of this place. Thanks for making such great food at great prices.

    This is a fast growing family business. We went with a group of 6 and wiped out thier pastelles…read more Thier chicken was already sold out for the day. So have some patience and don't worry all the food is delicous. You can call ahead and make sure they have what you want, and if not they can cook up more. They just need time. Especially the pastelles. It is like a typical bodega, with food set out behind glass on a hot table. So if your unfamiliar with the choices you can see it. This is what our community needed. Especially in an area where buying just plantains can be a challange

    I had family coming to visit and they requested for PR food…read more Then It hit me, there's no more puertorican food places left! If you really think about it the Dominican food has taken over the Bx. I searched, and found this place. The moment you step in you are greeted with the warmest blessings. The 2 beautiful people that worked there made our time there so memorable. The food was out of this world let me tell you. Also, I will say it is AFFORDABLE. portion size was huge and the place was so CLEAN. Food: Pernil: 10/10 flavorful and tender Yellow (arroz con gandules) and Black rice with the beans: 10/10 both were good and couldn't even decide which one was better Pulpo 9/10 : fresh and tangy, cut into small pieces so you can top it on your rice Alcapurrias: 8/10 great and made differently then what I'm used to but it was sooo good I'd come again for this alone Juices: Ask them to try the juices and they will let you. We tried it all. Came home with passion fruit (parcha) and guyaba (guanabana) Delicious 10/10 It was so fresh and they don't add too much ice so you get all the juice taste. All in all I'm coming here from now on. A true BX staple for the community and a true essence of the Bori pride resides here. If you miss PR, come here.

    Took an hour to receive burnt to a crisp alcapuria. Absolutely the worst representation of puerto…read morerican food. Run away!

    My husband and I ate here yesterday. Let me just say that I have ordered catering from here as well…read morefor a party I hosted and it was good. So we decided to show some love as we are Puerto Ricans ;) and well we love our culture and food. Cute little spot nice and clean and loved the decor. Friendly waitress. We decided to try a chicken empanada it was good but the hot sauce they had was cholula which we are not a fan of. Definitely needed some homemade PR vinagery hot sauce on them tables or at least Tabasco, or even goya. I got the fried pork chunks very tender and the amount was a lot but they did not serve any lime with it. I did not want to bother the waitress it was only her serving and she was busy the rice and gandules was ahhh good but missing something. My husband also got the same rice and said the same. His fried chicken was tasty tho. We decided to try the guava flan oh lordy it was over load SWEET!! too sweet!!!! Will we come again????? absolutely!!! I just hope they have better hot sauce!!!!

    Great little byo! Good food and such friendly staff that makes you feel at home! I messaged them on…read moreInstagram saying we had a group of 12 coming and they had a whole set up in the corner of the restaurant for us including a little table for our drinks and white elephant gifts. They stayed open a little late for us and were so attentive! But most importantly, I loved how responsive they were on social media and how friendly they were in person! Don't sleep on this place if you're in the area!

    As a 5+ year resident in southern california i've come fairly accustomed to Mexican cuisine. I have…read moremy go-to's as well as trying something new from time to time to enrich my taste. that being said i was very interested in seeing what mexican food on the east coast could offer me. It's a small restaurant with limited parking and the dining space being fairly spacious considering its size. Walking in we approach an empty podium but are greeted with a warm welcome within seconds of entering. Our waitress politely greeted us and let us choose our seating. Within a few minutes we received menus and assistance with spice levels and items on the menu and for food i chose a few items. I started with a Chicken and cheese empanada. presentation was good and the flavor was OK but also isnt something i typically get. i didn't eat it right away and will say it's something that's best eaten the moment it hits the table. A few minutes later came the Flautas and i don't like to compare my food to other places but i couldn't help but think of my Fathers flautas when eating these. again, presentation is nice and they weren't inedible but it felt like something was missing. Minutes later came the Carnitas and barbacoa tacos with 1 of them being the carnitas and the rest barbacoa. The waitress recommended i eat the carnitas first then move onto the barbacoa. Doing just that i ate the carnitas and was immediately blown away. The Pico was well made and the flavor was something new, i couldn't compare nor think of something similar to its taste and that became my favorite thing there but moving forward the barbacoa was fairly the same as the flautas in the sense that something was missing. Presentation was good and the crunch on the tacos was just right; not too crispy, not too soft. My girlfriend has the Carne Asada plate with her rating being a 3/5 stating the carne asada was thinner than she prefers and portions being slightly uneven. Overall i'd give it a 3/5 but i give it a 4 due to excellent service. The ambiance is slightly lacking but is something that could improve overtime. For the price id say this place is a great choice for their tacos but some items are questionable. I would come back here again!

    My girlfriend picked La Perla Tapatia and we DoorDashed our dinner…read more Our food knocked us right out. I love Mexican cuisine and this is the best I have had in roughly ten years. My girlfriend got three pork tacos with pineapple. They were stellar due to high-quality meat that was perfectly prepared. The pineapple added some great flavor to the dish without adding sweetness. My barbacoa burritto (no rice by choice) came heavy with exceptional meat and flavor. Absolutely incredible and well balanced. And their guacamole is phenomenal. Although we cannot wait to order from here again, we look forward to visiting the restaurant. Our thanks to the entire kitchen staff for preparing amazing food as if we were dining in their establishment.
