About El Cemi

El Cemi is a hidden gem that serves authentic Puerto Rican cuisine. The restaurant's dishes are made to order, and the food is seasoned to perfection. The menu features a variety of options, including mofongo, fried pork, and chicken breast with garlic. The pernil asado (roast pork) was unavailable during one visit, but the chicken breast was a delicious alternative. Sides include plain white rice, mamposteao (a mix of rice, beans, and plantain), and tostones (fried green plantains). The restaurant's atmosphere is casual, with cute decor and a warm, welcoming vibe. The staff is friendly, and the beer selection includes Medalla, a popular Puerto Rican brew. Overall, El Cemi is a great choice for those craving comida boricua or a flavorful change of pace.
