Easily some of the best Puerto Rican food I ever had outside of the island…read more The staff is incredible - super amiable to my request for a meat-free mofongo. The rice and beans were so good. I have no clue what the difference maker was but they stood out! My family loved the whole chicken. I would easily go back.

I'll start with the bread it was soft and delicious. The pastries were all delicious and fresh . The regular flan was a bit too dense not soft and creamy . We have not tried the flan de queso . I will update later . The Alcapurias were delicious just a bit too small . The establishment looks very clean . The man in the pastry register was not open about recommending anything . He was in a big rush to get the line moving . The ladies working in the food section were not friendly. I recommend El Coqui . Overall the food & pastries were delicious.

Everything I ate & drank was delicious. Breakfast was Tres Golpes - perfectly cooked egg over easy, over mashed plantains with fried salami and cheese. SO good - the egg over the plantains was an awesome new flavor combo for me. I had a tamarind juice, my wife had the passionfruit - both fresh & tasty. Service was also excellent. Lunch - I literally just pointed to what looked tasty, got it on my plate, and ate - everything was full of flavor. Prices are reasonable for the neighborhood.

I was in the area and had marked this spot down to try, so I ordered a pork mofongo to go, went in…read moreto pick it up, and as I was waiting, I saw the maduros and they were calling my name, so I got an order of those too. Prices are very reasonable for restaurant food, I think, and the quality is absolutely there. They have all the food in heated pans at the front, though the mofongo had to be prepared separately. When I ate the food later on, everything was absolutely delicious. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely order again! Inside, there are a few TVs, and you order at the counter even if sitting in for a meal. Looks clean and cozy enough, and I would imagine fairly crowded at the right times, but I was there mid/late afternoon, so I only saw one table w/ a customer eating. I wouldn't be opposed to it sometime other than having to pay for parking!

I had an amazing experience at La Catratchita Taqueria!…read more Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The quesabirria with consommé was absolutely delicious--rich, juicy, and packed with authentic taste. The asada nachos were loaded and satisfying, and the buffalo wings were cooked perfectly with great flavor. Even the homemade fruit drinks were refreshing and on point! On top of that, the service was friendly and fast, making the whole experience even better. You can tell they take pride in their food and customer experience. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to--and I highly recommend it to anyone craving great Mexican food!

A very minimalist with not-very-good food. It took a while for me to get my al pastor quesadilla…read moreand, when I did get it, the meat was dry and most of the meat was in one half of the quesadilla and most of the cheese was in the other half. Also, I wish they didn't give me a disposable plastic bag after I told them I would be eating in, seems gratuitously environmentally wasteful. I would like to like this place more as they are open late and they have a parking lot.

*Cross posted to Google for visibility*…read more Casa Borinqueña is seriously something special. I stopped in and ended up chatting with one of the owners--he was so kind and clearly loves what he does. He walked me through the menu and pointed me to some favorites, which made the whole experience feel really personal. I got the Bori fries and the mofongo cups (one "chicken," one "beef"), and everything was incredible--rich, savory flavors, crispy plantains, perfectly cooked plant-based meats, and that mama sauce tying it all together. When I asked about desserts, he even gave me a cinnabon bun to try, and it was unreal--warm, soft, perfectly sweet. Already planning my next trip back. I can't wait to try more.

Casa Borinquena is so delicious! I have been a fan since their pop-up days in Oakland and I was…read moreexcited to bring my parents here and they absolutely loved it. We got a ton of stuff to share: the loaded tostones with beef, the Bori fries (yucca) with mushrooms, pinchos, rice with gandules, and pastelillos. Everything was really great, but I think our favorites were the tostones and yucca fries! Great flavors, well-seasoned, really just perfect! It's delicious Puerto Rican food that just happens to be vegan as well. The restaurant is fairly small, and you order at the counter. The person helping us was super nice and helpful in making recommendations. Everything is served in takeout containers even if you eat in, but I don't think that's a big deal. It's casual, in a good way. We also got a bunch of desserts to take home... and that coquito tres leches cake was soooooo good! Highly recommend! I hope Casa Borinquena has a long & successful run in Philly, so make sure you visit!

We tried: - Birria burrito (surprised to find the cheese on the outside of the burrito, but enjoyed the flavor and especially the birria and salsa); - Kimchi fries (good kimchi, wish there was a way to keep the fries crispy, even when smothered--will definitely try their regular fries option next time); - Dry rub Korean-fried chicken sandwich (wonderful crisp, good flavor in the toppings, could've been spicier or maybe come with a spicy dipping sauce).
