El Buren Caribbean Cuisine is a restaurant known for its delicious and freshly cooked food, friendly and attentive staff, and warm atmosphere. Popular menu items include the steak jibarito with Puerto Rican rice, sweet plantains, and ropa vieja trifongo. The Khan Khan pork chop is a standout dish, praised for its large size and excellent taste, with some noting it is huge and well-seasoned, especially around the edges. While the rice is not made from scratch, the restaurant adds its own Caribbean twist. The service is commendable, with staff like Andy and Florencia consistently providing top-notch service and crafting amazing Pina Coladas. The atmosphere is enhanced by great music and a low-key vibe, making it a hidden gem for after work Happy Hour. The restaurant can get busy, so parking may be a challenge, although more free lots are available now. It offers good value for Puerto Rican food, making it an excellent choice for those looking for an authentic Caribbean dining experience.
