About China PR

China PR is a restaurant that offers a unique blend of Chinese and Puerto Rican cuisine. The food has consistently impressed customers, with the mofongo (fried green mashed plantains) with fried meat and the virgen piña colada being particularly popular. The fried meat is always fresh and delicious, while the mofongo with pollo al ajillo (garlic-flavored chicken) is said to need more garlic. The portions are generous, with one order being enough for two people. The rice is considered five-star, well-cooked and not overly MSG-laden. Tostones infused with garlic and crispy sesame chicken are also highlights. Customers praise the food as being close to authentic Puerto Rican flavors and often compare it favorably to meals from the island. The small size of the restaurant and high demand can lead to long wait times, but many feel the food is worth the wait. Parking is available on the side of the restaurant if you are a good driver, or on the street outside. Freshly made Portuguese bread pops (bolos) are inexpensive and very good. Customers mention that the food, especially the Chinese-Puerto Rican dishes, is delicious and brings back memories of Puerto Rico. Some reviews point out that fried foods could be less greasy, and suggest that better draining of oils would improve the experience. Overall, visitors are happy with their meals and plan to return multiple times a year, finding the overall experience positive despite small inconveniences.
