Puerto Rican Restaurants near Astoria, NY

“Food was seasoned well and tasty.“

“I have been to Bistro Taino several times including for a special birthday dinner and it never disappoints. Tonight I went with some coworkers and as always everything was so good. We shared the crabmeat empanadas and each had the bifongo as entrees with chicken, steak, and seafood. We also shared the coconut tembleque for dessert. Special shout out to our server, Arianni, she was amazing! Friendly, attentive, and personable. Great service, food and ambiance, can’t ask for more. Thank you Bistro Taino for always making it a great experience.“

“Desde Puerto Rico PAL mundo …el mejor bistec encebollado y mejor pollo desde NY a China“

“Amazing food and a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a little slice of Puerto Rico! The flavors are authentic, and every bite takes me right back to my island. The owners have poured so much love into the new location, beautifully painting different stories that showcase the rich history of Puerto Rico. Their dedication to creating a welcoming environment is evident in every detail. I also deeply respect how involved they are with the community—it’s inspiring to see a business so committed to making a positive impact. Highly recommend!“

“I recently partnered with Chrome 101 to provide catering for a corporate event I was organizing at work in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Not only were they thoughtful about helping me with the menu selections but they were on time and efficient with the food delivery all the way to Manhattan. I couldn’t have asked for better professionalism. The food of course was a raving hit! Thank you!!!“

“Lechonera La Piraña is incredible! The lechon is crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor — easily some of the best in the city. The portions are huge, the sides are delicious, and everything tastes homemade. The vibe is chill and full of good energy, and the people are super friendly. Real deal Puerto Rican food that never disappoints“

“Great ambiance and exceptional service. Food was delicious and great drink options!“

“Food was delicious. Bacalao Guisado with Rice n Pink beans was excellent not salty and real bacalao not Pollock. My friend had a Palomillo steak wrap in a plantain which was succulent. The Alcapurrias though a little over fried had the taste of a kiosko in Puerto Rico. We topped it off with 2 Medalla beers. Overall the food is authentic. Our server Amar was very attentive, and courteous. Will come again with more friends so they can see the difference between Caridad franchises, and an authentic Criollo restaurant“

“Stepping in to Guarapo transported me back to my times living Miami. The food was a blend of Puerto Rican, Colombian, and Mexican food, taking the best from each place and turning it into their own. We tried the shrimp soup and oxtail dish which was perfect. Oxtail was succulent and soft and the tostones that comes with the soup was probably the best I've had. Definitely worth checking out. Nora was great!“

“The spot adds fun elements to dining. The personnel showed exceptional accommodation with impressive service. This place stood out from others. The prices are very customer friendly, and the food is very fresh. This quality of service gets my full recommendation.“

“EVERYTHING❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷“

“I had a steak mofongo, my sister had pollo quisado con arroz con gandules, and my nephew had the picadillo w white rice and black beans and plátanos maduro. We also shared some bacalaitos and ensalada de escabeche. Authentic Puerto Rican flavors, which are hard to come by in this area now, we where happy campers.
Beautiful decor, and everything was lovely and clean. Kudos to new owner/ management (Edwin), who was super engaged with every single customer! I am looking forward to new menu expansions that he mentioned, such as breakfast and a slew of liber flavors, which he gave us a sample of coconut as complimentary. Will be back.“

“The food here was great❕️Authentic Puerto Rican🇵🇷 style Lechon with arroz con gandules. I like how the place is outside & inside, it felt like i was back on the island in PR.🇵🇷 It's in the cut, but it's a chill small place with good reggaeton music being played. I recommend. 🏙🔊🎶🏝🇵🇷 🐷🍗🥩🍛🍚🍴🥤🐸👍🏽“

“Food was okay not the best I won’t lie but good price for what it is however the service are so sweet as 67 year old lady there was a girl called Sophie who was so patient with me so if you see this Sophie thank you!

“Havent been here in years (15+ years) and was in town and decided to stop in like I used to years ago before heading back out of town to go home and was kind of disappointed that the food is nothing like I remembered it to be. It was just cold and no flavor.“

“I went today and omg it was great. Delicious fresh empanadas. I highly recommend empanada city ❤️“
