Pastelillo de carne/ beef empanada
M A.

Few days ago I visited Porky's Point and I have to said that I was not disappointed, food was awesome good !!! Authentic Puertorican food . Finally I found a place with the real taste . Service was fast , and price was fairly good. I got few items forgotten from my order but I understand they were busy and things happen, I definitely will be back soon !

Ok so I came here on a Friday around 12 and would think all the food was fresh I was wrong it looked like it was sitting there all morning so I didn't want to pay 10$ and not be able to eat so I got my self a meat empanada and omg that had no meet and also was sitting there all day Bc the shell was hard it was like a Taco Bell hard shell lol as you can see in the PCs I had to take most of it off to even out with the meat. First and last time I ever go there

Pull right up, get your pernil & mofongo to go
Kathleen D.

Anyone with half and ounce of the ability to spot a walkin' talkin' stereotype can deduce that I come from an Irish family. However, at least part of my heart and stomach is Puerto Rican. Spending my formative years and more growing up in the Bronx has ingrained in me a taste for the mofongo, forever. I have a real thing for all forms of plantains, oh, and of course, pork too. Between neighbors' cooking and neighborhood spots, forget it, I was virtually raised on the stuff and it's one of the things than I miss about my former Bronx-livin'. When that hankering for snacks of my youth hits me, up North 5th Street we drive to Porky's Point's take-out window. Not bad a'tall... This is the little home of inexpensive, tasty Puerto Rican fast food; pernil by the pound, or sandwiched on softer-than-I-like long rolls. It's a good sandwich though, and easily splittable, just make sure to ask for it cut in halfsies, otherwise it will come in one big sandwich. Though that roasted pork is fairly juicy and tender (and flecked with crispy skin crackles), I ask for extra gravy every time. I order extra gravy in every language, apparently. Un-surprising. Anway, Porky's "gravy," is a thin, garlicky, tomato-based sauce. It goes on everything along with the hot sauce that sits on the long stainless steel counter. I order that gravy poured on the mofongo, thus transforming it into a porridgey, and extra flavorful mash. I order it extra on the side as well, for every carb-bombing fritura for our Puerto Rican picnic in the park... tostones, papas rellenas, pastelilos, the occasional rice and beans platter...on and on. We take it all to go, usually end up driving to a park to find a bench or picnic table, as the options for dining at Porky's Point are nil... unless you wanna belly up to the counter to enjoy your comidas. Frankly, the fact that we typically plan to be feasting like animals keeps us from standing and hunching there. A real spectacle it would be. So, the point here... heh heh, the point... is that Porky's Point can sometimes really hits the mofongo spot. The roast pork spot too. Look for the sign with cute cartoon piggies serving up themselves.

Got the mufongo and the rellenos de papa w/gravy. It was okay. They both tatsted EXACTLY the same. It was VERY inexpensive so I dont feel as bad since it only cost me $4.50!

What happened to my friend was extremely uncomfortable and difficult to ignore. Our table had multiple people ordering alcoholic beverages, yet she was the only person singled out and told to go outside in the heat to retrieve her ID. No one else at the table was asked for identification -- including people sitting directly next to her. When my friend calmly questioned why another guest wasn't asked for ID, the waitress responded by saying it was "because she looks older." The problem with that explanation is the other guest was actually younger than my friend. As someone sitting at the table watching this happen in real time, it absolutely came across as profiling based on appearance and skin color. It shifted the entire mood of what was supposed to be a happy graduation celebration. Regardless of intent, no customer should be made to feel singled out, embarrassed, or treated differently in front of friends and family. It was disappointing to witness and should be taken seriously by management.

The chicken was alright and the beans were fine but it felt like I was being charged regular prices for eh leftovers. I hope the staffer didn't feel hurried when I let him know the app accepts my clicks 20 min earlier as I was okay waiting until 730 instead of waiting 5 minutes to 710 pm. The menu of items online is elegant but this was like a buffet for what was received. I wish the pictures had captions because reading the menu in words isn't very enticing for me. The prices listed online are high but this might be because delivery is free (to certain areas.) and you might get a lot of food. I wish this was more apparent. I feel there is probably a hidden gem of food for this place but the neighborhood is questionable and the language barriers and lack of convenience quick reads of captions with pictures affect the accessibility of ordering for me. Definitely willing to give the regular menu items a chance but TooGoodToGo is not the way to Go here. I also took a chance on 2 orders and got the same exact thing. Sigh. Staff is friendly but you need to use a translator for Spanish? I am surprised this place isn't on Yelp already but the neighborhood might be too gritty for most people. A few blocks north is a reputable Latino Community Center. And then the neighborhood gets slightly better with more businesses on the main drag of Lehigh Ave ( I think. )

There were booths, tables and bar seating available with Wonder Years playing on a few TVs with warm lighting and the incandescent Christmas lights that are reminiscent of Grandma's house (bonus points for nostalgia!) I requested a booth and she promptly sat me. She brought me water, menus and explained the specials to me. As I perused the menu, I was overwhelmed with the options available to me. I ultimately landed on one of the dinner specials (Cabernet braised brisket with a side of carrots & buttery mashed potatoes), chips & salsa and a Paloma. Chips landed first and while both salsas were fresh, I still felt the need to add salt. (Everyone's palate is different) Food & drink arrived simultaneously. Paloma was made strong but tasted more like a classic margarita as opposed to the tang of grapefruit that comes with a Paloma. Still good! The food was essentially cold & looked like it had been sitting for awhile being served to me but all the flavors were there. The brisket fell apart, I didn't even need a knife to cut it. The carrots were tender and the mashed potatoes were buttery. I would 1000% go back for the drinks and service, however I may get something different on the menu.
