Puerto Rican Restaurants near Bridgeport, CT

“It was our first time going to this restaurant, my husband saw it on instagram. We were in the area so we grabbed a few quick things to go to the beach. We got their empanadillas which is meat with cheese and alcapurrias (and one of yuca), it all tasted great. My husband also got chicken soup and he liked it. There is street parking and it is to order and go. The people were very nice and patient as we decided what we wanted. The food area looked clean and they were also cooking in the back, bringing fresh food to the front.“

“The food and coquito is excellent ❤️🇵🇷🔥“

“Good, fresh Puerto Rican food. Good servings for a very reasonable price. The "ambiance" can be improved.The pasteles (green banana/plataine pulp stuffed with savory pork meat cubes) are excellent. You can eat some there, then. buy some frozen ones to take home. Yum Yum!

Kid-friendliness: It's a diner type setting where families from the community gather. Most kids stay close to their booths. I've been going there for years & have never seen or heard a child "act up" in a tantrum.

Parking: I've been lucky to find parking on the street in front of the restaurant or very nearby. There's a parking lot on a corner across the street from Rainbow. I recently (12/2022) parked there on my way to NJ, to get some take out for my sister. My adult daughter waited inside the car in case someone (owner) asked fo payment. No one approached the car. I was in & out in 10 minutes.“

“Just follow the delicious smell till you enter the Restaurant then see the large display of a variety of foods ready just for you. Empanadas chicken or beef had good flavor even the crust was perfect.
Many family style food combinations to choose from so don't wait this place is the flavor you've been looking for.
Holiday, special events catering is available don't wait till the last minute.
My only regret is I couldn't try everything because of being stuffed after lunch !

Vegetarian options: Salads,tostones & sweet bananas.

Parking: Parking is available in front of the Restaurant

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly with lots of finger foods to keep them busy.

Wheelchair accessibility: Front door is wheelchair accessible, also easy sitting options when inside.“

“This place is a hidden gem. I've been going here since I was a little child and it's always been the same owner. The place needs a complete remodel and could use a deep cleaning. BUT the food is always acceptable and consistent. They always open really early so it's great for those early before-work sandwiches on the go.“

“Food was awesome the waitress was very attentive great service“

“I bought pastry sweets to give to a friend, the variety they have is good and my grandson tried a tres leches cake and it was very good, but the prices are through the roof 🙄

Parking: You have to park on the street around there is a lot of traffic and limited spaces because there are many businesses in the same area of ​​🤷🏽‍♀️“

“awesome service and even better food.“
