What to order: Shrimp Mofongo · Pernil Borracho with fried plantains · Bacalaitos · MallorcasFrom Google Maps reviews.
Great service, great food and atmosphere. The best Puerto Rican cuisine in El Barrio. The pernil and rice are so good, the bacalaitos amazing and the best so far are the Mallorcas shipped weekly from Puerto Rico. Can’t get more authentic than that! Drinks are great as well. The staff is great and the owner is prime example of amazing customer service! Highly recommended 10/10
Food was really delicious! I have to say this is one of my favorite puertorican restaurants in the city as a puertorican raised my whole life in the island. I would say service could be a little better as the waitress wasn’t that friendly or helpful. Another waitress took care of us for a moment but one of the sauces got spilled while moving them to the other side of the table and idk if she didn’t notice but she left the table. We had to ask for napkins so we could clean it. The owner had came
With reservations, no wait time. Friendly staff. The owner, James was extremely hospitable. The food was delicious. It was definitely a family vibe and a memorable spot to be celebrating my wife's birthday.
