“‘The Freakin Rican’ rocks! I got a Pernil Sandwich with fries and a Guanabana drink. I loved how warm the food was and how natural the drink was. The Spanish music was amazing. The atmosphere was amazing. I even loved the aesthetic of the restaurant! Definitely planning to comeback??!“
“Great place with lots of food variety. True PuertoRican food. Good price and friendly staff.Parking: If you are lucky, you can find parking on the street. There’s lots of traffic in the zone and people drive carelessly. Have to be careful crossing the streets.Wheelchair accessibility: Not easy for wheelchair.“
“Stopped by for Sunday Brunch and I was not disappointed. The food was so tasty and delicious. The portions are a nice size and Brunch doesn't break your budget. The restaurant has a new favorite customer.Kid-friendliness: Children were welcomed with families and thats always a plus.“

“This place is a gem . If your looking for authentic Spanish food, then you must come here. 915 St. John's Avenue in the outskirts of the South Bronx. Alcapurrias and pastelitos that will have your mouth watering and wanting more. Definitely feels like a real Latino experience. Not a fine dining location , but if your humble and want to enjoy possibly the best alcapurrias and pastelitos in the Bronx , if not in all of NYC then you should definitely check this place out .“
“I recently visited Sofrito in Harlem with friends for a delightful dinner and drinks experience. The ambiance, with views overlooking Riverside Drive and the water, was truly breathtaking. Plus, their valet parking for only $20 was a convenient perk given the area's parking challenges.Now, onto the main event – the food! I opted for the whole pernil with rice, beans, and sweet plantains, priced at $40. The portion size was generous and utterly satisfying. We also indulged in their chicken, beef, and Cuban empanadas, all bursting with flavor. Personally, I couldn't get enough of the beef and Cuban varieties. The Chuletas De Cerdo were juicy and impeccably seasoned, while the chicharrón de pollo and carne frita were equally enjoyable.The atmosphere, enhanced by a DJ spinning classic and current hits, made for a memorable experience. While the service was quick, we felt a bit rushed out by our server(s), which was slightly disappointing. Additionally, some dishes were a touch too salty for my taste, and the tables near the windows felt a bit cramped. However, despite these minor drawbacks, I would still highly recommend Sofrito for a fantastic dining experience in Harlem.Parking: $20 for valet“
“Space is limited, if possible I recommend buying to go. However, we were a group of 6 and the ladies kindly helped us accommodate two tables. The food was delicious, and the portion was more than enough. Perfect to get out of the fast food routine to eat something more homemade. I would definitely go again“
“The food is good. it’s located at a food truck. The gentleman does bring the Roast Pork and food from a separate oven into his food truck, Saturdays and Sundays only. It is worth the wait standing on lineParking: It’s located in the south Bronx“
“First time trying this location and hands down it was what I wanted! Their arroz con gandules is a must their breaded chicken is juicy and tasty and their empanadas are good. Two plates of breaded chicken with arroz con gandules plus empanadas and soda came out to $32 and change. Not bad for what we asked for it's a must if you're in the Hudson county area and want a warm Spanish dish“
“Place needs a little refresh- feels a bit beat down (butbthen again, it's bust time square restaurant) It's a suggestion rather than critique- this place has so much potential. Food and service were great. Big thank you for our server Dylan!“
“I decided I wanted some Puerto Rican food before heading back to Maryland after attending a concert at Prudential Center. Looked online and found Taino's Kitchen. The food and ambiance were great. I tried papas rellenas, alcapurias, and pastelillos or empanadas. Great flavor and their mayoketchup was delicious. Me and my gf had the pernil with arroz con gandules. The pernil was very good alone. I do like adding additional sauces so I def added the pique and mayo ketchup to sauce it up some. We also ended up drinking Guanabana which was so good. For desert we ordered tres leches and the Flan de coco which were amazing. We decided to get 10 empanadas de carne for the road. Everything was great. Staff was friendly. If I am in the NJ, I will be coming back.“
“Nice little cozy restaurant to eat Puerto Rican food. Friendly owner and his wife. The place is clean and it is wheelchair accessible. However, there isn't any handicap parking spots but you can always find spots on the street. Their bathroom is small but clean. I literally drive out of my way to come and eat their "empanadillas de pizza" which are not easy to find in these area.Do I recommend this place ? Absolutely! They have other Spanish dishes if you like Spanish food that you can try.“
“Delicious and authentic Puerto Rican food. The yellow rice is soft and tasty; it is very well made. The pernil is also very well cooked but does lack a bit of seasoning, it still taste good but I think they cook can add a bit more seasoning to it and it will be PERFECT! I always feel like I am back at home whenever I order from Mis Raices.“
