“Dining at this Puerto Rican restaurant was a memorable experience from start to finish. The staff is incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive, making you feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food, great service, and a true taste of Puerto Rico.“

“Great food and cool ambiance!“

“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!“

“This is a special place, only open Saturdays and Sundays. I suggest arriving earlier, the line is pretty unavoidable, my friends and I arrived close to 1pm, we ended up getting our food about two hours later, so do not expect this to be a quick ordeal. It was worth waiting, two of my friends and I biked from north Brooklyn. Bring a book or some friends, maybe a drink for the line. The line is lively and has a fun and great spirit, mixed with locals, long time regulars, and other who are coming from other places that have heard about the amazing food like us. Piraña, the owner/chef is warm and friendly and hilarious! You can tell that he cares about every single person’s experience and is not rushing you through, every plate is made with care and love, he also gives back, as we waited we witnessed him give food away to those without means to buy food, elderly, etc. Once we finally got our food, we walked to some tables across the street at a playground and we were instantly smiling as we ate our delicious pork! Also the shrimp, crab, and then the octopus salad that you can get in your platter with rice and plantain are all really great and worth trying! Highly recommend, but give yourself a half day for this!“

“One of the best places to get delicious Puerto Rican food!“

“We celebrated my mother’s 60th birthday surprise dinner with 50 guests and it was a very lovely experience. Niurka upon meeting her was very sweet charismatic and ensured to answer all of our questions before booking the space. We kept in communication to make sure everything was right before the night of the dinner. The night of the dinner she made sure everything was set up before our arrival! Every person working that night was professional, friendly, attentive and efficient. The food was amazing as well. This was my first time here, and I will definitely return for another dinner night!“

“Multiple options in the menu. They explain the menu in detail if you need help. I ended mixing some options. The mofongo is spectacular, soft with crunchy pieces of bacon and flavorful. Pernil is juicy and tasty. Atmosphere is good. I highly recommend it.“

“This is a great location. Nora took very good care of me and my husband and then I found one of my friends from another location. His name is Ricardo. He works at the bar. The food was delicious. We had Bandeja paisa and we had a Mofongo with Camaron is the best combination between Colombia and Puerto Rico please, and take a look at this place. The ambience is gorgeous. It’s in Williamsburg. You must come and try it.“

“EVERYTHING❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷“

“The service and food is amazing! Love the vibe“

“La Isla is simply the best food ever. The beautiful women help customers with their great attitude. The cooks do a superb job of making sure the flavor is on point. I ordered food 2 or 3 days prior and they delivered with assurance. You wanna eat good hearty meals. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE TO GET GREAT FOOD. I PROMISE NO DISAPPOINTMENTS HERE. GOING BACK TODAY.“

“It’s a excellent place to spend time with your family and friends in The Bronx, excellent service“

“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. 🏙🔊🎶🏝🇵🇷 🐷🍗🥩🍛🍚🍴🥤🐸👍🏽“

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

“absolutely delicious 😋 food, anything they cook is amazing.“

“Anything on the menu is authentic Puerto Rican food and is absolutely delicious. Just remember to bring cash, because they don’t take plastic. 😎💟🇵🇷“

“The pasteles were delicious! I took a chance since I saw this add first on Facebook and I was not disappointed. They deliver to NJ at an additional cost. Los pasteles muy ricos!! Me tomé un chance ya que fue en Facebook y sabemos que cualquiera cosa puede suceder y valió la pena. Ellos hacen delivery a NJ a un costo additional. Definitivamente vuelvo a ordenar. Ordené de yuca con pollo y plátano con pollo. Me llegaron 2 de yuca con pernil y también estaban delicioso!“

“The oxtail soup is the reason I keep coming back. It’s well cooked, generous portion, and satisfying. Service can run slow, but it seems to be a family-run spot with a hole-in-the-wall charm, so it comes with the territory and is worth the wait.“

“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.“

“The service is good, the meals are delicious and creative, and the price is considered mid-range in Singapore, but the portion of the meal is not too much, and it may be difficult for men to eat.“

“Great food and service. Just moved here in the area and all I want is Spanish good for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everything’s well done and juicy! (Pause) I recommend boneless chicken, white rice, red beans and salad. In the morning mungu, cheese, salami and eggs or a sandwich.“

“What can I say? It’s awesome.
Such homey food that really hits the spot.
My dad always says it reminds me of the stuff his mom made as a kid, so if it can satisfy an old Puerto Rican guy it can satisfy you.
Prices are awesome, you really should avail yourself of the daily specials.
The fish meals are also excellent albeit at a premium.
I love it. Go.“

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

“I was at a nearby hotel looking for a delicious smoothie and got so much more than I imagined. I walked in and immediately the vibe felt right. A very kind woman gave us the lowdown. There were not a lot of options but enough for breakfast/brunch. I ended up with a smoothie, ginger turmeric shot, and the chai pancakes. These pancakes were not light and fluffy. They were soft and dense and beautifully topped with granola and nuts and bananas and I truly enjoyed every bite! Smoothie was good but the mint was a bit too much for my tastebuds. Highly recommend this place! Updated from previous review on 2026-03-03“

“This place has earned my repeated business. The kitchen delivered more than I imagined. The look of this place is incredible. The employees displayed friendliness and menu expertise. After my recent relocation, finding this place was a pleasant surprise.“

“This spot has all the vibes of what this neighborhood used to be when bustling with small local shops, Latin food and that loud nyc street wonderfulness. Still has the same cuchifrito vibes as we remember from back in the day.

I usually eat in or take out but always met with friendliness and helpful lovely women that remember your last visit and ask how the family is. They have platter deals and small take away items like alcapurrias. We usually get rice, beans and pernil, or the chicken. But I do like their steak and onions though that is cooked to order.

The down sides are no bathroom, and no AC, so the summer feels like an over in there.“

“Excellent! Visited from upstate Ny and they were so amazing to me and the family. My daughter loved their food and loved their potatoes in their stew chicken and they made my daughter feel special by giving her extra while eating and to take home . Felt like I was with family. Great food great everything don’t let the negative reviews keep you away, I Will be back !“

“Deliciosa lechona, idéntica como la preparan en Colomba. Recomendada.“

“very small spot but food was on point and would recommend it to anyone this is real puerto rican food“

“Buenas atención excelente personal y comida bien rica“

“My family has been enjoying cuchifritos for as long as I can remember & im turning 36 this year ! 😫anyways we haven’t been to a cuchifritos in a min cause we’re from nj . My family is from nyc so we’d get cuchifritos when in nyc . Today we got some cause we was in nyc . We bough so many frituras we spend $101 . Insane but worth it .“

“We hadn't been here in a while. Looked forward. Start positive: White rice, red beans, and arroz con gandules, very good. However, on a Friday evening (7ish) , there was only 1 server for the entire section. It was not crowded. Empty tables in our section.We placed our orders right away with drinks and an appetizer. We waited more than 30 minutes for our drinks and appetizer. Appetizer never arrived, but our main courses (both the same) did. The fried pork chops were overly cooked - dried excessively. They were more like fried pork chunks. Difficult to eat. Knife had a difficult time cutting the meat. Margarita was subpar at best. Management needs to step up. I am a strong supporter of local restaurants, especially Puerto Rican/Latino establishments. This restaurant is an East Harlem icon. Overall: disappointed.“

“The food is very good, the owner is very nice person, the guys from the delibre are very good person but the person who works in the afternoon and a skinny one there talk to you as if you were a dog, you ask for chicken and they send you goat, you ask for oatmeal and They send you a mess of coffee but if they manage to send you what you really ordered the place is 5 stars“

“ALWAYS BUSY!!! Don't let that deter you though this place is an every other day staple for my fam. Great Spanish food. The mojito is delicious, the coconut juice always fresh and the servers are pleasant just busy. Alex is one of the best and been working there a long time!!!“

“I always get the roast pork with yellow rice and beans. I love the alcapurrias. The chicken soup is delicious. Sometimes if they have it, I get the pupusas. Everything I've ever ordered here has been delicious. It's tastes home cooked, and fresh. It's too bad I live a couple hours away, or I'd be here every week. It's a very casual place.“

“I've been coming to this restaurant since I was a little boy. So this place has a special place in my heart. However, the food hasn't changed. It's Just as delicious now, as it was then. As for the service, they have a system that resembles a well oiled machine. They are both courteous and fast. If you’re looking for fancy dining, then you may want to go elsewhere, but if you love good Latin food, then look no further, and if you love seafood soup then please go there on Fridays.“

“Willie's Steak House has Salsa Dancing Fridays and Saturdays. Food is regular The Barmaid Mariana is very professional and a hard worker knows how to treat her customers without her the bar is not the same.“

“I’ve been coming to this spot for years whenever I’m craving Spanish food, and it’s always been a reliable choice.

The food tastes fresh every time, and the fried shrimp is especially good—definitely one of my favorites. I usually go for takeout during lunch, and the portions and variety (like Camarones Al Ajillo, pulled pork, and even desserts) never disappoint.

Service is quick and straightforward, and the atmosphere is decent for a casual visit.

Overall, it’s a solid place with consistent quality, and I’d happily recommend it if you’re looking for flavorful food at a reasonable price.“
