We ordered from Que Rico today for our team lunch and it was delicious! We tried a variety of dishes including the pernil, house rice with pigeon peas, house rice with chicken, chicken kabob, beef kabob, mofongo bites, and plantains. Everything had great flavor and was super satisfying. Since I don't eat pork, I skipped the pernil, but I enjoyed everything else we ordered. The mofongo bites and plantains especially stood out--perfectly cooked and seasoned. The kabobs were tender, and the rice dishes were hearty and flavorful. My only critique is that the menu doesn't offer any vegetables or salad options. I personally love having greens with every meal, so that would be a wonderful addition. That aside, Que Rico really impressed me, and I definitely plan to come back and dine in on my own soon!
This place is just like Wonder. You order either online or via a kiosk for the restaurant you're interested in. They have 7 pages of restaurants. A nice variety of different foods and cultures. I went with Que Rico, with Puerto Rican inspired cuisine. I ordered grandmas favorite or Abuelas Favorito which was rice with ham and grilled chicken. You get 2 options. I opted for red beans and fried plantains. The rice was very tasty and the smoked ham was plentiful. The grilled chicken tasted great and has many pieces. The beans were flavorful with some potatoes. The plantains were crispy and great. The sweet bread or pan sobao, was soft, large, and reminded me of food in Puerto Rico. All the ingredients and food tasted fresh and so good. Would definitely go back and try a different restaurant choice but this one was A-One.
Que Rico came highly recommended, so i had to give them a try. I got Primo's Favorite, which is the stewed chicken meal. You get a choice of 2 sides, and i picked the arroz con gandules and fried sweet plantain. Everything was flavorful and hot. Parking was kind of hectic and the building is hard to find if you don't know where you're going.
My Dominican wife loves this place although I find the food dry and portions small. I believe she loves it only because it's one of the few Puerto Rican restaurants in the area to where she doesn't have to cook. It is consistently busy with patrons coming and going, so they must be doing something right. The parking lot is tiny for the number of patrons and if you find a way to drive in, you might be challenged driving out. As you enter the restaurant, you'll be puzzled for a minute and have to follow the actions of other patrons while reading the instructions on the wall. There's a huge QR code on the wall that you'll scan upon entering which takes you to a site where you'll enter your order number. This site will advise if your order is ready although the one time I had to wait, the time decremented, incremented, and then said ready. So I'm not sure how well it works. Either way, when it's ready it will ask if you're ready to pickup and advise what cubby hole to pop open to access your food. There is no interaction with the restaurant staff and most of the time you don't see them. I've had the pernil which was ok, not as good as my wife's which has more flavor. My wife agreed the tostones were dry and not flavorful which disappointed her on multiple occasions to where she put them in the air fryer at home to modify. The maduros are pretty good, sweet and flavorful. Overall, I would prefer to eat elsewhere but she enjoys this place. It's worth a try to see if it suits your tastebuds.
Folks, I found true authentic Puerto Rican food. Finally, after 19 years in the DMV. I ordered chicken, Spanish rice, and beans. It smelled so good that I pulled over in my car and feasted. Everything was seasoned like true NY style Puerto Rican food. Que Rico is not a sit down restaurant. For this, I had to take a star; and the place is situated in a new type of rental kitchen in a multi restaurant cube facility. You can either order online, or on a kiosks when you get there. When your meal is ready, it will be placed in a wall locker for pickup.
Finally had a chance to try this place since it's on the way home from DCA to Woodbridge. Only carryout, via locker located behind the 7-11 off West Glebe. We ordered a Tio's plate (steak), a Titi's plate (beef stew), trio sampler of pastelillos beef mofongo bites and a pina colada smoothie. Both plates were delicious and flavorful! The plain cheese pastelillos we can take a pass on but the beef one was yummy! My mofongo bites were MIA but as soon as I called, the owner apologized and corrected the mistake! We definitely will be back for that mofongo though!
Que Rico is so good. I've been hearing about it and am glad that I finally got the chance to try it. I love Puerto Rican cuisine. I ordered Abuela's Favorite Plate, which had pernil, arroz con gandules, tostones, and habichuelas guisadas. I also ordered a chicken empanada and mojo sauce. Everything was delicious and I appreciate the little bit of crispy pork skin that was included. I love hearing that crackle. I added some pique that I had and it just made everything pop. I cannot wait to try more options from Que Rico, especially the mofongo bites.
Food - excellent meal - tried one of the Puerto Rican meals with pulled pork, rice and pigeon peas with a side of beans and fried bananas with a guava drink. - very authentic- very filling - very tasty Service - you order from a digital pad in the lobby - food is prepared in a kitchen behind a wall and is ready in about 15 min- very quick, very efficient. Digital menu has pictures and descriptions of all meals Ambience - industrial area, limited parking, try and park near the 7-11 on Glebe then walk around back. Enter the small lobby near the loading dock. The lobby is unattended - just use the digital kiosk. Give them a try - we loved the food - very popular with food delivery companies
I ordered food from this restaurant at the Four Mile Food Co. I only wanted some protein, not a whole meal, and was happy to see a side of pernil on the menu. It was a sizeable amount of flavorful and tender meat. I added a side of tostones. This was quite a large order that I couldn't even finish. All in all, a good option at this restaurant co-op.
I ordered takeout from Que Rico and tried Abuelo's Favorite Plate and a side of Mofongo Bites with dipping sauces. Everything was incredible! The pork in Abuelo's Favorite Plate was tender, flavorful, and tasted like a true home-cooked meal. The Arroz con Gandules was perfectly seasoned, adding a wonderful balance to the dish. The tostones were expertly fried--crispy yet tender--and the dipping sauces elevated them even more. The side of beans was a delightful surprise, rich and well-seasoned, rounding out the meal beautifully. Last but not least, the Mofongo Bites were crispy on the outside, savory, and satisfying on the inside. Que Rico delivers authentic Puerto Rican cuisine with delicious flavors that are clearly made with care. I'll definitely be ordering again!
My best friend is from Puerto Rico, and she has been looking for a good Puerto Rican restaurant in the DC area for years. She was so excited to discover Que Rico, so we decided to have a girls' night-in, order delivery, and give it a try. In her own words, the food was like "a taste of home". I must agree, it was delicious. We each enjoyed Abuelo's Favorite Plate with mofongo con cuero. My friend only shared one critique: the cuero in the pernil was lacking flavor and needs to be salted a little more, but the pernil itself was perfect. (I'll defer to her expertise on that one!) Overall, my friend was thrilled, and I certainly will be ordering again!

Pretty good food if you have a craving for Puerto Rican food. The Pastelillos were delish. I ordered a ground beef and a chicken with cheese. They were crispy, good amount of filling and nice flavor overall. Fantastic. I think they should serve the meal with a bit more rice. The Pernil, pulled pork was sort of dry and unfortunately the large side of garilc mojo sauce (garlic oil) was sideways in the bag and by time I got it home, the oil had all leaked out into the paper bag and onto the floor mat inside my car. The mofongo bites listed as 5 bites, however I only received 4. They were on the sweet side. The masa from the plantain taste too ripe for my liking. I prefer more green plantains in my mofongo. The tostones were pretty good. The pictures made them look a bit larger, but oh well. This was my first time ordering from a ghost kitchen, and the concept is a brilliant idea because you can order from so many cuisines! You can try so many restaurants in one place. Quite amazing. read more
As a Boricua in the DMV I was looking forward to trying this place thanks to Tik Tok. Its a ghost kitchen and you go to an IPad to order and a locker to pick up. I was not too hungry so I ordered pastellitos and mofongo bites. Pastilitos were a little disappointing. They were long and flat and not stuffed with a lot of meat. I agree with another yelper that the oil was old. Although the filling (ground beef) was decent. The mofongo bite was not good. Tasted nothing like mofongo. 2 comes in a order and I could barely eat 1. It came with a garlic sauce and the mayo ketchup. I really wanted to like this place but I dont recommend. read more

I tried this place through DoorDash. The food came very well packed and fresh! I thought it may get a little cold since I live further away, but it was still yummy. I ordered: - beef mofongo bites - pastelillo trio sampler - abeulo's favorite plate with pork and arroz con jamon fumado Each of them came with their own garlic mojo sauce and mayo ketchup. The garlic sauce was soooo good, but def will linger in your mouth for a full day lol. It was my first time having beef mofongo bites and I thought they were really good. The portion size was bigger than I thought they'd be. The trio sampler had beef, beef and cheese, and cheese. I severely underestimated the size. They're bigger than my face! I'm glad to get the trio on my first time so I know what I can try different options. The plate combo meal was delicious. It came with beans and tostones. Everything was made fresh and full of flavor. This is a comfy and cozy meal. Excited to have more Puerto Rican options in the area! read more
I saw a social media video about this place and decided to give it a try. This is a take out/ food delivery. You place your order they give you a time and then you go and pick it up. It's located in the back of the 7-11 parking lot. There is parking but be where there are a ton of pot holes and the parking is limited. Now onto the food. I ordered the pastellios sample. Three Puerto Rican empanadas. Cheese, beef, beef and cheese and Tito's plate. The empanadas were huge. They were perfectly crispy my favorite one was the beef. I wish there was one with beef, rice and cheese. The Tito's plate was a lot smaller than I expected but the flavors were amazing! I was not a fan of the tostones. They were a little to fried for my liking. I would definitely order again. read more

Came here for the first time and it was interesting finding the place. They're located in the very back of a 7 eleven in a small warehouse like building. There's no sign outside that tells you this is the place, that's because this appears to be a shared kitchen with other restaurants, four in total. Well, the ordering and payment is all done online or by using a tablet ordering system located inside. Just browse through the menu, place your order and pay. Afterwards you receive a text msg. with a pickup time. They have these lockers that hold your food and when the order is ready you get it from the locker's. Very simple, totally contacless and little human interaction. I got the "titi favorite plate" with choices of rice, stewed beef and tostones. I also ordered one beef empanada just incase. The food was very good 7.8/10, it had that home cooked taste and the portion was just right. Easily for two meals if you're not greedy like me. I definitely would return to try their pernil/pork butt and their mofongo balls. read more

Not a good experience. The empanadas are mostly empty fried nothing, and the oil clearly is not changed enough - and you can taste the dirty oil, especially with a mostly empty empanadas, that is basically a fried stick - and a heartburn delivery device. And all the reviews about the bad parking lot could not be more right. It is terrible! Full of selfish and crappy drivers, and not only do the crappy people illegally park in and block the handicapped spots, but the restaurant illegally chains off their own handicapped spots. read more

Que Rico? More like que decepcionante! As a Boricua, I was so happy to find a Puerto Rican restaurant in NVA. But so sad from what I tried from here. The pastelillo are literally mostly empty, the mofongo balls are overcooked, and something else, but not really mofongo. And it all tastes bad old oil. And you risk an accident anywhere in this ridiculous parking lot. Driving in Puerto Rico is safer than this place, and that is really saying something! ***EDIT*** - after I wrote my review, I had to go throw up from what I ate from Que Rico, and my stomach grew up eating some tough stuff. read more

Informational review. You should look for the driveway btwn 7-11 and the building with Chinese take-out. You can not see the restaurant from the main road. Unless you ordered it online, you will enter the pick up lobby then use the kiosk to order. When it's ready, you will get a text to unlock the locker with your food. Hope this helps. read more

Great service, easy to order, quick pick up. Centrally located but you need to know the place is there. Food has great taste even though it's a small portion. Need to go back and try other items. We ordered pernil, arroz con gandules and tostones. read more

A crazy yet simple process in it being a ghost kitchen but it definitely tastes like home cooked PR food- delicious! They give you generous portions and it's all very flavorful. I was skeptical in the ghost kitchen thing but I'm instantly hooked on their food and highly recommend them! read more
