Here's why: - The Sancocho was watery didn't have the thickness to its base like all sancochos - The alcapurrias gave my husband a stomach ache unfortunately - flavor of food was ok I wish we wouldn't have been disappointed as new locals. Anyone who is from aCaribbean island expects for flavors to touch your soul!! We also ordered for take out, maybe dinning is a different experience.

Amazing Puerto Rican (PR)/Latin fast casual food…read more 1) It is mainly buffet-style pre-prepared PR/Latin food. You pick what you want & they give it to you. 2) I got chicken, chicken stew, pork, and steak to try. It came with rice. The food was a little luke warm by the time I went, but it was delicious. 3) Ask for their hot sauce. 4) Also, the price is very reasonable. Much better price than Chipotle or Cava based on how much food you get.

I found this spot via Yelp a while back and booked marked it. Finally came here for lunch on a…read moreFriday. The place is small, it has a dining area but seems more like a takeout spot. 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

Pretty good place to eat. The food was awesome, just a tad salty. I had the oxtail and roasted pork…read morewhich was phenomenal! 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.

Sofrito is a versatile, aromatic purée of tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, onions, and garlic, which is the foundation of just about every Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican soup, stew, or sauce. Located on busy Teaneck Road in Teaneck, this husband/wife duo, with the husband being Cuban and the wife Puerto Rican, operates the hidden gem that translates from the Spanish meaning "my roots." The reservation was easily made by Google Assistant for Saturday dinner. Upon arrival at Mis Raices, a bigger location after 3 years for some of us, my partner, our friends, and I got a table by the window immediately inside a cozy island vibe filled with the wonderful smell of the home-style food, the beautiful souvenirs of Puerto Rico and Cuba, and the vibrant salsa music. The menu has been expanded since our last visit, so come hungry! For appetizers, we decided on the Croqueta De Jamón, Croqueta De Pollo, and Guava Empanada. As a main meal, we opted for Arroz Con Pollo (Chicken with Rice), Pechuga De Pollo (Chicken Breast) A La Plancha with Salad, Ropa Vieja (Shredded Beef) with Arroz Amarillo y Frijoles Negroes, and Oxtail/Rabo Encendido with Arroz con Gandules. Complimentary toasted garlic bread started our meal. The meal was beautifully presented. The flavors were tastefully delicious and pretty consistent, being rich and authentic. The portion was just right with the price very reasonable, and it's a BYOB. The owners, Ana and Eddie, and their staff make us feel welcome and are accommodating. We can continue to recommend this place.

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.

Rice was the way I like it - soft, not too oily, flavorful. I will go back with my bf who was born and raised in PR to see what he thinks, but I'm already a fan. They also have a lot of variety so I plan on trying something new next time. The lady working there said that sometimes they make guanimes (some people call them guanimos) which I have never been able to find outside of PR. I hope I get to try them at this place. So glad I found this spot and recommend you all check it out.
