Better Fancy

The problem with this restaurant is when the mother, the father, or sister are working you get shorted food, they overcharge you for plates. When the son is working everything is good. The plate looks like someone’s already ate off them. For the amount of money they charge. then they look at you like you’re the problem Let you be another race or color. If your a Rican your plate overflows… You don’t get the same service or same amount of food. The mother tried to charge me 18$ for that trash. I told her hell no go me and my money out of there. And will never go again…

I came in on a cool day, looking for some good Authentic PR food, porque no hay nada por aqui en la comunidad. This place was amazing growing up so I got pollo guisado a arroz con gandules y carne de res con arroz con gandules, alcapurria, y pastelitos. When I got home, the chicken was very bland and pale, maybe boiled first without much seasoning ? It had a very watery thin caldo con el arroz partially undercooked. The carne de res was very bland for my husband as well. “You should have just cooked this here”. So unfortunate. The alcapurrias could have use a little more adobo in the meat filling, fried perfectly tho and the pastelitos saved the day. I unfortunately did not enjoy my plate, entonces mis perros comieron bien (con mucho respeto porque yo no desperdicio comida y ellos comen lo que yo como 🙏🏼🙏🏼 ).

I am in Boston staying at a hotel due to medical reasons. I ordered from Uber Eats for delivery since I don’t know the area and don’t have transportation. I was starving and expecting a delicious hot meal. I opened the food container to find three tiny pieces of “bistec encebollado” and cold rice with some pieces of pegao(the hard pieces stuck to the pot) . The sweet plantains were missing and utensils. I called the restaurant to inquire about the order. The woman responded that it was late in the day and the onions had dissolved. She admitted they forgot the sweet plantains and could not tell me if the small quantity of bistec were due to the order being served that way. She offered for me to go pick up the plantains. I paid for delivery, service fee and tip. The restaurant needs to make sure that my order is hot, complete , and with the proper serving portion . Don’t serve the scraps left over from the day. Poor Service, Poor Quantity, Poor Flavors. I don’t recommend this restaurant. I’ll grade them F for Full Failure.

Science the Itch

A disappointing amendment to my previous review below.?? The service is still friendly and the food tastes good, but on a later visit I had to spit out a piece of plastic from a chicken pastelillo, so I have to dock some stars. ?



As friendly as it is delicious! Stop in and have some Puerto Rican treats with a smile.

Small spot with a homey atmosphere. The person who helped me was extremely nice and went above and beyond, suggesting alternatives when they were sold out of certain things. The food was amazing and we will definitely be coming back!!

Avoid all cost catering - they do not honor the order and whoever takes the orders gives petty responses when the customer inquires about the same order three times. This is not a Puerto Rican vibe and service.
