Location , not the safest as there were a group of ...people with nips and wine bottles asking for money. Anyway, let's get to the food , take a look at my pictures , this food held up fantastic on the 1 1/2 hr drive home. The mofongo was soft and paired perfectly with the chicken , sauce and peppers. The arroz was flavorful and the pernil was tasty as well. I would've loved bigger pieces instead of the smaller but that's ok !! The Colombian style empanadas were packed with filling and were delicious. This mom and pop restaurant with the vintage menus gets an B+ in my book. Mucho gracias.

I suggest going slightly before or after lunch peak to get in and out faster. I also suggest getting it to go since seating is limited. The service has always been friendly and as quick as they can be. Speaking some Spanish can make the interaction go faster. This is some of the most comforting comfort food around.

Whoever thought that plantains smashed with garlic and fried pork skins was a genius! And then on…read moretop of that, to put juicy meat in the middle of it? C'mon!!!! It totally blew my mind. Ok, now to clarify what the heck I'm talking about. Mofongos is a new Puerto Rican place in Worcester. Mofongos is basically a bowl of plantains smashed with garlic and fried pork skins. You get to choose what type of meat you want in your little plantain bowl (we got the juiciest, most savory pork EVER). This place has a simple menu and simple food that is amazing. We also got a side of rice (YUM!) and sweet plantains (only okay). Price isn't cheap, but it's totally worth it. We ordered a medium for $12 and it was more than enough for 2 people. If you haven't tried mofongos before, GO!

They always have fried appetizer style foods available too. They charge extra to use a credit card now so pay cash when you go.

We also had a side order of maduros for an app. Delicious! The maduros were legit my favorite thing here, although everything was great. For a main course I had shrimp in garlic sauce with mamposteo. Served on a huge plate, there was a giant portion of rice and a small side salad as well as many good sized shrimp. Super delicious and the food was piping hot. Service was great and I loved the music here, which was a mix of reggaeton, Bad Bunny and Karol G but played at a low, chill volume so it didn't distract from conversation. The interior is sort of casual but with some nice touches like a wall of greenery with a PR flag. Our server was super friendly and this is a family business. We parked in the private lot in the back, which is reserved for tenants of the building. A guy who appeared to be associated with the barber shop in the same building told us it was safe to leave our car there to visit the restaurant. I'd recommend parking near the barbershop since they seemed to keep their door open and would see anyone messing with your car. There were a number of homeless people here begging but they did not bother us. Only reasons for not giving five stars has nothing to do with the food, atmosphere or service. I found the women's bathroom in need of a cleaning and they also have a small convenience fee that was not mentioned anywhere but was added to our bill. Additionally, be careful to review your check because they automatically add a 20 percent gratuity.

Being such a famous restaurant we expected the best , our friend first time in Puerto Rico so we wanted to show them our tipical PR food. First our waiter seemed like he did not want to be there, second we ordered the food an it took forever (over an hour and a half), and lastly when the food got to the table it was cold, it seemed like it had been sitting in the kitchen for quite a while. The womens bathroom was pathetic!!! I have never seeing something like that (other than a porto-potty) the trash was full to the top, and the floor had more trash than the trashcans, and toilet, forget it!! I cannot describe the condition they were in.

The staff is very welcoming and helpful when choosing from the menu. We started with coffee made with condensed milk. It was creamy and lightly sweet. It was very smooth and enjoyable. It took a little while to come out and wasn't super hot but it was a nice cup of coffee. Next we tried the chorizo empanada. It was very crisp and flavorful although a little greasy from the sausage. Still a nice bite. Yuca fries were up next. I dislike yuca and was hesitant to try it but I did and it didn't disappoint. It came with a garlic aioli and topped with onions and possibly a vinegar sauce. They were so delicious. Crisp outside and soft inside. Defiantly something to try. Finally we shared the breakfast Cuban. Piled up with ham, pork, egg and cheese with mayo and mustard. It was delicious. Mild and a little Smokey. It was great. We would definitely return to see what other treasures we can find. Overall we would highly recommend Cafe Reyes.

Food is adventurous & bold; memorable meals over the years: Fried Goat cheese with charcuterie meats, manchego cheese & french bread, have to do The Bocado Experience for 2 or 4, Jamon Iberico, Pato (duck pastrami w sherry glaze), tuna poke, atun de bocado (seared yellowfin saku tuna), braised pork belly, Spanish octopus, mussels in cream sc, twin mini Kobe style beef burgers, venison, fried calamari, lollipop lamb chops, seared beef tenderloin, classic paella & Paella de Mariscos, & baked flan for dessert. Just so fascinating - their chefs can put out such tasty small plates so quickly, each packed with such fresh & exciting flavors, always cooked to perfection (never over or under cooked). Get the sangria pitchers, bar is always packed & hopping. Dining room just got a refresh, but was beautiful even before with a great atmosphere also. Our least favorite was the rabbit (way too many small bones to pick out).

Okay, well. DO NOT EXPECT TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR FOOD & HAVE YOUR CAMERA EAT FIRST here (this also…read moreincludes the cocktails). The food presentation just aint it.....there is none. I would suggest to them using smaller appetizer platters so the food doesn't look like it got slapped on them straight outta the pan with literally no care & respect for the ingredients. The Gambas Al Ajillo deserved more than 2 pieces (NOT SLICES) of croutons, The pork belly & polenta dish was unbalanced & there was hardly any polenta to be evenly shaped between a party of 4, It was the saddest looking octopus dish I've ever seen next to a pile of spices potatoes. Just because it is a tapas wine bar, doesn't mean they're given a pass to ignore how appealing it looks to guests. Hit or miss for the mai tais (the bartenders need to work on their ratios). Bcuz why am I can just order a screwdriver with the amount of orange juice we were given. HOWEVER, everything is edible & incredibly delicious. The authentic Spanish flavors absolutely shine thru!

The food tastes like abuela is in the kitchen, pouring love into every dish. From the first pupusa to the last bite of steak, everything was outstanding.
