    Bolon de chicharrón y queso
    Stephanie R.

    My go to place for "bolones" is definitely this spot right here. They make them differently (deep fried) which I love. Super fattening but it's worth the weight gain Took off a star because I've tried other food here and it was not to my liking. So I stick to the bolon and the bolon only.

    Bolon mixto with salad.
    Giovanni C.

    The bolon's are pretty good. They're deep fried unlike some other places. Big chucks of cheese as well in them. The price is pretty fair for the amount they serve you, must mix in the onion salad they give with it...extra yummy!

    Sopa de marisco
    Jewel Y.

    This Ecuadorian deli serves cheap and delicious authentic typical Ecuadorian food ranging from seco de gallina (chivo and carne are also available), ceviches, humitas, llapingachos, churrascos,etc. I recommend $10 sopa de marisco (seafood soup), it's like an Ecuadorian version of bouillabaisse with lots of seafood including clams, shrimps, squids, crab meat, and white fish meat. It tastes better when you add lime juice, trust me! The sopa de marisco comes with a side dish option of either rice, salad, or tostones (fried plantain). If you aren't hispanic, you probably are going to be the only non-hispanic person in the restaurant.

    Smell so bad .. and the taste is like shit no offense

    I don't recommend this place the food smell so bad and the taste is la shit no offenses

    Right in the center. $4 for the bolones.

    Service was excellent, but I wasn't too impressed with the food. Also it was an expensive place to have breakfast.

    As always I got a great meal from this places. Most Puerto Ricans say it's not as good as…read morehomemade, but this place comes as close as you can get to homemade food. And they give you a plentiful amount of food for the price. Call them directly for delivery in the area, you won't be disappointed, especially the Alcapuria de yuca, it was so good!

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.
