Puerto Rican Restaurants near New Haven, CT

“I was surprised to see what LOKKED like Puertorican foods and see two Asians there... I went pretty early and the yucca was already sold out . I think they are popular because many came in. They speak Spanish ... I got arroz amarillo con gandiles ...pernil y habichuelas.
Ok so I've grown up eating and cooking PR food. There was something missing. But the fact they are Asian made it amazing..they did a fantastic job. I won't criticize them because they're not Latino. it was good enough. The price was good for a good amount of food. If they learn about sofrito they will be perfect. Also...don't keep the pernil in water...and get separate the skin so it stays crisp. Overall very good I was really surprised!!!“

“Great food. This is authentic Puertorican food I will definitely comeback.“

“Ugh their food is so good & fresh ❤️ my fav ofcourse are their empanadas 😋 que ricooo ☺️“

“I absolutely love and go to no one else for their seafood salads. The carrucho (conch) and pulpo (octopus) are killersssss. Super fresh taste. A burst of flavors 🔥🔥🔥 Highly Recommended!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely worth the stop at LA CHICKY MUNCHY at the Food Truck Paradise in New Haven! The owners were super friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they take pride in not only their food but also their truck—it was spotless. The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I had the shrimp in garlic sauce with tostones—so good! And the lobster empanada? Stuffed, crispy, and fried fresh absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to go back and try more!“

“I've been there twice and will definitely go again. I just wish they weren't always out of flan, but the tres leches cake is very good 😊“

“Pernil sandwich, alcapurria, chicken pincho, and cheesecake were all fantastic. Cash or credit accepted. Atmosphere was very casual with people coming in and out, kids playing in front, and a lot of conversation between customers, management, and kitchen staff. Very neighborly place with friendly service and great food.“

“My many years of going to this restaurant. I'd never, ever been disappointed in the service the quality of food. I could never take a Pic of my order because as soon as I get home I pray to God for EVERYTHING!!! As I say AMEN I got a month full of food, forget to take those pic's. To me a New haven, CT landmark.

Parking: Not to many spaces to park

“We ate here last night and the food and service were wonderful! What was even more wonderful was the customer service when I left my purse at the restaurant. I called later that night to see if it was there. They were so kind and kept my bag and made arrangements to get it to me this morning before they opened. Would definitely go back!“
