My family and I were looking forward to experiencing and enjoying a taste from my island on Easter Sunday. We were all quite disappointed to state the least. I came across this cute spot via social media. The videos and pictures were mouth watering. Therefore I did not expect the disappointment. The ambiance was cute, felt like I stopped at a spot on the highway in PR. However, the food not so much. The rice was not cooked all the way. The beans needed more seasoning. I get it, we can add salt and pepper as desired. However, approximately $40 per meal, total bill was $222, for rice, beans and fried pork/chicken, I shouldn't have to. I can get the same with a bigger portion for half the price and taster in my own neighborhood. The pork chop 'khan khan' was much smaller than advertised. Both the pork chop, chicharron de pollo and macitas, were all over cooked. I tasted a good amount of adobo but definitely missing acidity. The mofongo was very bland, and the 'sauce' to pour over, was nothing but olive oil, not much seasoning or tang. I can continue, but I think we captured the point. Although I do not mind spending or driving anywhere for food, I left feeling like I should've cooked at home instead of driving from Jersey to Brooklyn. Also, reading the defensive and condescending responses to the constructive criticism reviews from the owner, leaves little to be desired. I am hopeful they had a bad day considering some of the positive reviews. MAYBE I will give them another opportunity since PuertoRican restaurants are hard to find. I dislike leaving a negative review, however as a Rican, I want you and this establishment to prosper. If growth and consistency is the goal, You're almost there, Bendiciónes! read more

I just found this place and it's immediately "comfort food" (the arroz mamposteao de la casa). Definitely don't miss the empanadillas as well. Will be coming back to try more things!! read more

The food is decent. The bacalaitos are good, camarofongo could use more garlic sauce or salsa criolla, the bistec and onions were good. I think the acapurria de jueye (crab) hit or miss. I liked it, my companion didn't. The habichuelas were ok, I like mine better. There's room to grow but I appreciated a taste of PR. read more

This adorable little spot is something you would find at Piñones or Luquillo in PR. They have a menu filled with all the favorite snacks a PR fast food shack would serve. My favorites here are the alcapurias, and pastellios con queso and guava. They set up a few nice tables outside to munch on your quick bites or some of their bigger meal options. Your order takes a few minutes to cook because everything is made to order and fresh so be patient. I promise it's worth it! read more

I visited this enchanting gem for lunch on a Thursday. Having pre-ordered on their website for pickup, the process was seamless, and I received a text once it was ready. Despite limited parking, I double-parked with coworkers. Inside, the decor transported me to Puerto Rico. The counter attendant was friendly, answering all our questions. The food was a delight--empanadas were hearty, tostones perfectly seasoned with Garlic/salt and the 4 leches cake was a surprising delight. This is now my go-to place for Puerto Rican cuisine, and I'm eager to return with my husband and friends! PS make sure to try the Quesito with Guava! read more

I've had Kiosko 787 bookmarked for a hot minute and finally tried it when I was in the area today (Nov. 29). Out the gate, Kiosko 78's Puerto Rican ambiance is spot-on. When I tell you it's goodbye congested 3rd Ave and Carroll St and hello to Puerto Rico, I mean it. Yes, the establishment is teeny tiny but Kiosko 787 did a great job capturing the essence of the island. I especially love the (faux?) balcony. However, the empanadas left me with mixed feelings. The shell, reminiscent of wonton strips, erred on the side of blandness. I sampled both the beef and cheese, as well as the sofrito chicken empanadas. While the chicken won the flavor contest, both proteins could have benefited from an extra umph. The saving grace came in the form of ketchup mayo and guava hot sauce, providing a much-needed burst of flavor. The guava hot sauce crept up on the back of my throat unexpectedly, which I wasn't mad about. I am a fan of the Puerto Rican guava hot sauce. It's good. I appreciated the thoughtful touch of having the names of the empanada fillings printed on the paper sandwich wrappers; nice attention to detail that caught my eye. read more

I stopped by yesterday and went in for 1 order of rice and 1 Bacalaito and 2 cans of coke and it was 50$!!! This is absolutely ridiculous. Save your money and go to any other Puerto Rican restaurant in the area and get 3X times as much food for half the price. The food is not worth the cost. read more

This time around I had the crispy chicken chunks, white rice, and red beans with tostones. This time around we had to make a reservation I think it's all the instagram and Facebook stories that it's crowded on weekends. The chicken was seasoned well and tasty, and crunchy. The rice was moist. The red beans was delicious. The beans had pieces of potatoes and pumpkin in it. The tostones were thin and crunchy. The waiter was very nice and friendly. The decoration and salsa music make you feel like you back in PR. I think bad bunny new album and the social media pictures is making this one of the best PR restaurants. read more

Absoluetely LOVED Kiosko 787. Saw lots of good things on TikTok so my mom & I took the trip to Carroll Street. We heard about the long wait times so we arrived right at opening time, 11am, on a Thursday. We were seated immediately and with some light conversation with our friedly waitress, our order was taken. To drink, we had Kola Champagne and a Coke. We started with tostones de pana, an empanadilla with beef & cheese, a bacalaito and a pastel. For mains, we ordered a Mampo Wampo (mamposteo) with steak as well as the Pernil with arroz con gandules. The food was spectacular! The team is very transparent about the fact that the dishes come out as they are ready and not all at once. I prefer that so as to eat everything hot & fresh. It's a small space with an even smaller staff but we felt right at home. My mom brought a small gift, a vinyl picture of OSJ in Puerto Rico. The owner, Al, was a really sweet guy. We talked with him for a while and he was so grateful for the gift and he gave us SO MANY recommendations for our upcoming trips to the island. Overall, we had an amazing experience and we can't wait to go back! read more

Coming from the west coast, we were motivated to find a good spot to try Puerto Rican food. Lo and behold, this hole in the wall spot is THE ONE. It's more so for take out (there are literally, hole in the wall). They have a couple tables with seats on the sidewalk. ....buh lemme tell you bout dat fuuuuuuuud. Heaven blessed this place because I daydreamed about what I ate the whole day. The empanadas. Juicy. Flavorful. Tender. Melt in your mouth. The garlic infused tostones. The star of the meal. They ain't lying when they say INFUSED. So buttery, so garlic-y, so perfect. The crisp. The everything. Booooooricua Grilled Effing Cheese. Taking a bite out of this was when I knew. I just knew. If you're wondering what I knew, order this. I promise you, every chance I get to travel to NY, this will forever be on my list to have. read more

The Puerto Rican pastel was very hard and not fresh. Also the Spanish style steak with onions tasted like it was fresh the day before. Service was good. The blonde hostess can be friendlier. BTW I am Puerto Rican, the xxxxxxx steak and onions did taste off, the pastel needs more calabaza less plátanos verde. Otherwise good, room for growth. Gracias read more

Came here for a friend's birthday and we had an amazing time. Accommodation: We were super happy that the manager was able to accommodate our party of 5. He was super friendly and also attentive making sure we were enjoying ourselves. Ambiance: I felt like I was in a restaurant back in Old San Juan. The decor, the paintings, the balcony. Paying homage to PR. Food: The food was absolutely delicious. For starters we order the sampler plate and some empanadas and a acapuria. All were flavorful and delicious. Acapuria had the right amount on seasoning on the masa (very important). For entrees, I had the pernil with rice and peas and it was well seasoned. Rice was short grain again just like PR and delicious as well. My friends had a steak sandwich, steak with rice and beans, Mofongo and the red snapper and they all enjoyed it. My favorite side were the beans (you can just taste the freshness) and the tostones with ajo (you can just never have enough garlic) For dessert we had the flan and quesitos and I absolutely loved the flan. I will definitely come back. read more

Kiosko 787 - Pernil PORK MADNESS ENTREE (Pernil) - Puerto Rican Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I ordered a surullo, bacalaito & alcapurria de guineo. I understand that all of these are fried at the same time it seems as if instead of letting it sit under paper towels to soak up some of the grease it was just packed up which ended up with a greasy mess. Surullo: la masa was overly sweet and had no contrast just sugary flavor was very greasy and the whole thing with cream cheese and guava? Meh. It kind of works but it's not your traditional one with just cheese. Bacalaito: had good flavor Alcapurria: came with a lot of meat inside which was good and the flavor was okay too Now as far as the rest of the food I'd like to go back and taste and see how it is. I don't know why but there's not many Puerto Rican places you can find and to have establishments like these are great to have. Let's see. In reply to the owner: In my review I did start out by saying that I am cognizant of the fact that what I ordered are fried foods at the same time it felt as if they weren't handled properly by at least letting it sit under paper towels to soak up some of the grease and then being packed up to go. Now my impression for el Sorullo it is in fact overly sweet but then again everyone has their own taste. For me it had no contrast...no salt to balance out the sugar on top of sugar. Also when ordering el sorullo I asked at the front if that's the only one you guys offered and I was told yes and on the menu it doesn't have another option in written form. Therefore, where's the sorullo con queso de papa? No se? Tal vez cuando vaya otra vez? Everyone cooks differently even with being boricuas--you will not find the same sazón everywhere and that's okay. My review is based on my 1st impressions with the food I ordered. read more

We love Kiosko! We had wonderful take out which then inspired us to go in person- which was even more amazing and worth it!

yesterday i posted a review and the owner responded saying how can you say the food was old when u ate it all .that was a false statement as he wasn't even there .when i spoke to the restaurant host she didn't even deny my claim didn't even quest why I didn't eat the food.iI wasn't making a statement to sabotage the restaurant but to tell my experience. i'm very sure the food is fresh so happens when I at Friday at 1 PM. The food was definitely old. I have pictures of the food and I can prove my statement I in that restaurant given it to I would've gotten more satisfaction instead I gave my hundred dollars away to a business owner that makes comments and not care about what his customers are going through the first thing owner should do is make sure that his staff is properly dressed make sure that his chef has a on his hair and that is wearing a clean apron and gloves. This is why many people end up with heartburn and stomach problems because you just never know whose hands are in your food. I was hoping to be able to make a nice review as I am. Puerto Rican and I was happy to find a Puerto Rican restaurant, but it broke my heart only to know that the restaurant was only serving old food. I was not the only that left my food as the people that right by us ordered a shrimp Mofongo and he ate the but he whole Mofongo behind because even Mofongo was alcapuria were made out of banana. The color of it was black. That's not a normal color. I have pictures that I can post also so he can see that even the chicken was refried if you wanna make a name and you wanna make a successful business you don't do it by selling old food to people.next to the alcapuria was chicken de pollo you could tell it was refried the color was dark I did eat the surullos they were fresh and the fried platanos and I had a can drink everything else I threw away ,I was so looking forward to dining at a Puerto Rican restaurant but I had a horrible experience.the blood pudding was refried multiple times as it crumble as I try biting into it. At some time in the week that food was fresh I'm sure but not when I ordered it .next time your host should make sure the food is freshbecause they were read more

This place is super cute. I've been waiting to try it for awhile. The lady at the front was super sweet. I've been to Puerto Rico so I was so happy to find this authentic restaurant. The bacalito looked and smelled like the ones you used to get in PR from street vendors. Unfortunately it was soooooo salty it was borderline inedible. Didnt soak it enough or added too much salt. Otherwise it would have been perfect. The pernil was so well made. One of the bests I have tasted but the salt was also so much. They need to look into that. I've seen other reviews complaining about salt. The rice was perfection. I'll be back to try other dishes. Hopefully the cook \ owner take this honest review in stride. read more

I came in to do fieldwork on the Puerto Rican culture for my college course, Puerto Ricans in New York. Al the owner was helpful and let me interview him, very knowledgeable and down to earth.

I actually didn't get to eat but the service is indicative of the place, in my opinion. Found myself in Brooklyn and decided to go it was early afternoon on a Saturday and there were 3 tables empty. I did not have a reservation. I asked for a table was told to give them a minute and was then told to add myself to the wait list. I did and asked very nicely in English and Spanish if they had a sense of how long it could be. I received a shoulder shrug and nothing else. The overall interaction was bizarre and their attitude, well it sucked. First it's a very tiny place maybe 10 tables. Second I work in hospitality and am overly nice to restaurant workers bc I get it. The lack of vocabulary and taking 2 minutes to speak to a person, for me spoke volumes. Third I received a text and it said you are on the waitlist, check to see the list. When I clicked there was no one on the list. Fourth if you had reservations coming in, then use your voice to form words and tell me that. Another option would be to tell me we have a reservation coming in at xx time if you can finish within the hour I can seat you. Basically learn to communicate, the eye avoidance and basic rudeness is not necessary there is a reason it's called the hospitality business. Unfortunately I will not give them another try because for me service is everything. If you can't communicate I will go to another restaurant or make some good Puerto Rican food at home. read more

We didn't expect the place to be so small, but it's full of big flavor and even bigger heart. The food was beyond delicious--truly spectacular--and the people who work there are absolutely lovely.

Everything was on point. Highly, highly recommend! read more

My husband and I were both craving authentic puerto rican food. Coincidentally, this place was also recommended by a friend of mine. I ordered the steak with onions entree, which was flavorful, juicy, and tender. My husband ordered the pork madness. He wouldn't stop complimenting it so i had to steal some off his place. Surprisingly enough, the pork was moist and delicious! Most of the pernil I've had are dry and tough which discourages me from ordering it. Will definitely be getting that next time. Don't forget to pick up some dulce de leche cake! Thankfully we grabbed the last 2. Highly recommended and will be returning!! read more

Food is amazing, greet taste. I suggest making reservations before getting to Kiosko.

I went to visit Kiosko with my elderly mom. I was so happy to hear there was an authentic Puerto Rican restaurant in Park Slope . I was excited to try it. The place is adorable and cozy . It's small but we were seated quickly and we were treated so well. My mom is on a wheelchair and the owner helped me in with her as well as the cook! It was very nice. Mom ordered the bistec with tostones de pana and I ordered two alcapurrias de guineo. One word Delicioso!! My food was fresh and hot like I like it and the taste reminded me of my grandmas food. My mom loved the bistec and the tostones were her favorite. Seasoned perfectly. I highly recommend this place and I can't wait to visit again. read more
