I have not been to Porky's Point in a minute, too far for me. That being said, my husband was down the way for some business and decided to stop and get some food. Mediocre at best.

They serve great late night after club Dominican food like chimichurris (Dominican hamburgers), pica pollo (Dominican style fries chicken), Yaroas (French fries with cheese and other toppings), frituras like longaniza and masa de credo frito, tostones, fries and more. I order a $10 order of chicken and longaniza with fries and it was a large portion for the size. It tasted good and traditional. It's a good spot to visit if you have the munchies after a night of clubbing at Tierra.

Had my order been delivered before it was cold, the review would likely be a star higher. But, when…read moreyou receive your delivery order over an hour late, food starts to get soggy in the styrofoam containers that the restaurant packs them into. I ordered two entrees. The first selection from the menu, Tacos del Pastor, al pastor tacos, topped with cilantro onions, a side of hot sauce, a lime, and cucumber for each. The tacos shells were homemade, and the al pastor had plenty of flavor. Three tacos come to an order, with two shells supporting each taco, and they're reasonably priced. The second entree, Fajitas Mix, is served with flour or corn tortillas on the side, with a mixture of chicken, beef and shrimp over a generous portion of rice, with a small portion of bean and a soggy mixture of lettuce, a sad attempt at coleslaw instead of what's listed on the menu as pico de gallo. The fajitas are cooked the traditional way, with peppers and onions. The ingredients are quality, with authentic Mexican flavors. A side of hot sauce, which you need to specify the heat, as is the case for tacos, is included. The entree is very reasonably priced. If I was ensured an on-time delivery, and the restaurant made an attempt to offset my inexcusably late first delivery, I'd likely order again. The corn tortillas were said to be gluten-free, from a call I made, prior to ordering, which offers an added bonus to include customers with allergies or insensitivity to gluten.

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.

Nonetheless we ordered the alcapurria, mofongo cups with mojo mushroom and impossible beef, sancocho, and cinnamon buns. We were so hungry that we ate it in the car and forgot to take photos. My favorite is the mushroom mofongo. The sauce was truly the best part. Its definitely one of those foods that you have to eat right away because its not good reheated. All of the food was pretty good especially being vegan. I am not vegan but I enjoy good vegan food. The woman behind the counter was nice and made great suggestions. The place overall was a small and cute. Its definitely more of a take out spot. The decor was very culturally and lgbtq inclusive which I loved. Have to go back for the rice!

He took the time…read moreto make sure that my friend and I were comfortable navigating the menu before we made our selections. Gotta love hearing a great story from a guy like this who opened up his own family restaurant. Fabio made us feel like we were welcome in his home. The bandeja paisa (I may be butchering this name) was absolutely incredible. I haven't had much Colombian food in my life, but the flavors here are unbelievable. It's about $16 for this plate of food, but that EASILY makes 2 meals. It comes with a variety of deliciously seasoned meats, with many different carbohydrate vessels to demolish them in. The tostones here were a real treat, you can't just get them prepared like this anywhere. I'm not totally sure how they made the sauce that they make available on the table, but it is an incredible salsa-type creation that can be slathered on top of anything to take it to the next level. Fabio - I beg of you to open a restaurant in Fishtown (or some other place where there are many millennials). They would love to explore a place such as this, and YOU are the guy to make it happen!

I ordered their "Bandeja Tipica"...bandeja means "tray" and the plate might as well be a tray of tasty and authentic foods, you need to either share or be really hungry to attempt to even approximate eating 75% of everything that's served, which includes: A bed of Rice Egg Half an avocado Huge and meaty chunk of pork Huge and perfectly seasoned sausage Small corn cake 4 large fried plantains ...and under all that, about 8oz of perfectly grilled skirt steak A genuine cornucopia of taste and satisfaction. To top it off, the staff treats you like a long-time friend, they're super welcoming and attentive. The menu is full of authentic dishes, too many to try unless you're a local. I will come back as soon as I can. Pro tip: skip breakfast when you plan to eat here!
