Muy bueno had to go back because Friday I asked for chicken breast, they gave me a leg. I went back Saturday and they did compensate for the return of the leg. I have been going there sometime now and every time I had some different dishes it was well worth ? muy bueno comida. Definitely going again. Run ?‍♂️. Down to the restaurant it's comida is very good. Going again they make a nice rib dinner.

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of dining at Vejigantes Restaurant in Boston, a gem that was recommended by a friend. Let me tell you, it absolutely lived up to the hype! From the moment we stepped in, the vibrant atmosphere and the warm welcome made us feel right at home.The food, oh the food, was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish was seasoned to perfection, bringing the authentic flavors of Puerto Rico right to our table. It was a culinary journey that reminded me of my visits to the island, filled with rich flavors and a variety of choices that catered to every palate. The menu was impressively diverse, making it hard to choose because everything sounded incredibly tempting.Not to be outdone, the drinks were a highlight on their own. Creative, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. It’s clear that Vejigantes pays attention to every detail to ensure a memorable dining experience.But what truly sets Vejigantes apart is the service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making our experience special. They went above and beyond, which is a rarity these days.For anyone in the Boston area craving authentic Puerto Rican cuisine, Vejigantes is a must-visit. It’s more than just a meal; it’s a taste of Puerto Rico right here in the city. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

Very miserable, they don't even add meat to the sancocho, if it is so expensive they can increase a little more money so that it has meat, the only place that makes sancocho without meat is there...I recommend that they add even chicken but sancocho without meat, it's not sancocho, go somewhere else, it's not here!!!

Food great flavor and presentation...however there is a lack of empathy and better service from employees and owners. They must be more cordial, friendly, kind and proactive. It is very crowded and the food is excellent... a little expensive. But is it worth it.

English="Hi there! I want to share my experience at the restaurant. Everything was going well until... surprise! A pretty big “rat” decided to join the party after I had finished eating. It wasn't exactly the dessert I was expecting! This definitely ruined the ambiance and my appetite. Hopefully, they take steps to address this little issue!"Spanish=Hello! I want to share my experience in the restaurant. Everything was going well until... surprise! A rather large mouse decided to join the party after he had finished eating. It wasn't exactly the dessert I was expecting! This definitely ruined the mood and my appetite. I hope they take steps to solve this little problem!"

Zero stars.very slow service and they are not attentive at all. I waited 25 minutes just to get a napkins and utensils…. When asked for utensils they have me one. There were three people at my table. Plus the food was mediocre.

We arrived early for our reservation. We were promptly seated. Service was on the laid-back side of slow. We had plenty of time before our theater performance. This wasn't a huge deal. We ordered two chicken mofongo, and we received only one. Our waiter was apologetic and quickly brought the missing entrée. Portions were huge for the price. My drink was well made and perfectly strong. The restaurant is small and lively. It is a bit loud. The restroom is very clean. You are not told an 18% gratuity is automatically added to your bill. I typically tip 20%, so it's not a big deal. But patrons should be made aware. I've mistakenly tipped 38% in the past for not noticing the auto gratuity. We are not often in this part of Boston. If we are in the future, we will return for another meal.

The brotha at the front was patient with me since there was so much to choose from. I decided with the Bistec Encebollado with arroz Blanco y habichuela Roja. It was a lot to eat yet I still devoured it along with the banging
