This is my second time going here the food is good but their customer service needs improvement. I had ordered a medium portion of yellow rice and pernil I had two other customers in front of me who had hefty portions of rice and they also had medium meal containers. When I asked for a little bit of extra rice the worker behind the counter said it’d be 2$ extra even though I only wanted less than half a scoop I said it was fine because I’m obviously getting more than a half scoop, the worker proceeded to tell me that for 13$ I could’ve gotten a large portion when I asked her to just put the food in the container she has previously into a large one I would pay the extra, she said she would have to throw away the entire container and remake it. I have never heard of a Spanish place doing that especially if they’re on a moms n pops shop lvl. There wouldn’t be any type of cross contamination by putting food into a new container and throwing the old one out. I felt pressured into buying the smaller portions because I don’t like wasting food but it could’ve been a tatic she was playing I don’t know maybe that’s a little extra but it definitely turned the environment a little intimidating. For a less confusing experience I’ll stick with jalao, criollisimo, mofongo, etc.

Very small space so when they're busy it's very tight waiting in line. Only 1 server who is also ringing people out so it makes for a long wait

The atmosphere is definitely latin in nature. I felt immediately comfortable walking in to start talking with the staff. The service was exceptional from the staff and everything explained in detail whenever I asked a question. The food. A... MA... ZING!!! In all my trips up to CT, my first latin experience with food here was absolutely delicious! The white rice was flavorful without the beans. The beans. AMAZING FLAVOR! Loved the flavor pairing so well with the white rice! The beef cubes and potatoes. PHENOMENAL! Probably the most tender cubes I have ever had and the potatoes so soft to match! Chef's Kiss! I also had some turkey stew. Never had that back home in South Jersey. Turkey so soft that it was like the beef cubes. It just melted in my mouth. Two thumbs up on that! I had a pizza empanada as well. A lot of filling within the empanada which was delicious. The potato ball was delicious as well. And finally I got some spicy wings. Fried just right with a golden brown color and the flavor had me in awe.
This spot is a must for anyone interested in Latin food and will not regret what they get to eat. If you are in the New Britain area close to CCSU, please stop in and grab so great Puerto Rican food!
Thank you BoriExpress! I look forward to coming back next year when I'm back in CT!

Well for starters..more than 3 people DO NOT fit in there..then the yellow rice is mojollao..the wings were extremely salty we couldn't eat them.the pernil had absolutely no seasoning.. .no dipping sauce for the tostones..when i asked i got 1 tiny container of mayo/ketchup the size of tiny cup u get when u buy cough medicine...the alcapurria oommgg was salty n spongy had no guinea flavor. It's really over priced for what we got..This was my first n my LAST time here..
Hidden gem in New Britain. Fantastic food and friendly service and to top it off, reasonable prices!

Live nearby. Was driving by when I saw Boriexpress. I'm so happy I stopped. The alcapuria was delicious. The papa de rellansos was one of the best I've had. Ah, the pernil empanada is so delicious. I will be back without question. Lots of parking.
