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.

The flavors were authentic and the portions were generous. But what really got me excited was hearing about their upcoming Latin Day party next month! I'm eagerly waiting for more info on that.

I'm so grateful to have this gem nearby! Can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious dishes!

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.

But I can smell the roast pork shoulder and knew it was recently cooked, we call it Pernil. I wanted some of that with your typical white rice and beans which had plenty of pumpkin. I started to reminisce of old times in the Bronx where you had many quick meal restaurants we call Cuchifritos where this dish was standard stable. I didn't order fried plantain, Tostones, or the sweet one, maybe next time.

Hubby LOVED his dish and we were amazed by their rice pudding dessert, YUM! A special shout-out for empanadas WOOHOO! Hubby is Cuban and I'm Colombian & Puerto Rican and these Costa Rican empanadas go to the #1 spot on our list!!! Prices are definitely reasonable :) FYI street parking, cash or credit card has service fee, sit-down or takeout, closed on Tuesdays.

I didn't get a chance to try the dessert (thanks to a couple of good drinks ), but I'll be back for that! Our server Felix was amazing--funny, witty, and full of personality. The decor transported us straight to Puerto Rico , with vibrant touches and charm throughout the space. They even have an event area, complete with a dominos table right in the center, and a gorgeous outdoor space that's perfect for relaxing. I'm already planning to return this Saturday for some sancocho and dessert!

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.
