“Great food, kind folk, and great service. It's a pleasure getting food from here. Especially their hot meals. Hand's down, better than most of the delis around here. I gave atmosphere a lower rating because I'm an introvert lol I get overwhelmed “

“Food was seasoned well and tasty.“

“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!“

“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“

“Best pernil and chicharrón ever“

“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!!!“

“Hello hello this restaurant is on point. If you are in the 5 boroughs come thru. I’m in Long Island and it worth the the drive. Drinks good food muah 💋. Make you wanna slap your mama.

“Super great service amazing food beautiful place must go again“

“The food is great here! Really home cooked taste. Very reasonable also.“

“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!“

“Great food and awesome atmosphere and great 🎶 music“

“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“

“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.“

“Came here a few days ago for drinks and the experience was wonderful. I had never had a guanabana frozen margarita before and it was delicious and so was the food. The bartender Shalamar was attentive and helpful when I didn’t know what to choose because they had so many options that I had never tried before, so I would highly recommend this place.“

“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. 🏙🔊🎶🏝🇵🇷 🐷🍗🥩🍛🍚🍴🥤🐸👍🏽“

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

“EVERYTHING❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷“

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

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

“Spanish soul food lovers, if you're looking for morcilla, this is the best in bklyn. Perfectly seasoned. Reasonably priced. They also have an excellent tripe soup, chicken soup, rice & peas, roast chicken, roast pork, and more. I always stop by when I'm in the neighborhood.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! The atmosphere was good however it was a bit loud but I would guess that. If anyone finds the Olivia who owns this place tell her we have the same name.“

“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!“

“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 whole setup here feels innovative yet comfortable. The mood is good, everything's clean, and the design isn't complicated. The team stands out; providing warm welcomes and meeting all needs pleasantly. The menu reflects a commitment to taste and freshness. The ultimate dining experience.“

“The servers are attentive and the kitchen delivers quality. Nothing here hides behind heavy sauces. The rating scale should extend for places like this. The employees deliver outstanding customer support. The entire experience left me wanting nothing more.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“The people here remember the human element of hospitality. They provide extra effort here. Remarkable personalized attention. LA ISLA WILLIAMSBURG uses ingredients you can taste the difference in. This spot impressed me deeply and I'm planning to return!“

“Buenas atención excelente personal y comida bien rica“

“The variety and flavor of the vegan breakfast, lunch, smoothies, coffees are amazing. This restaurant is in walking distance from many hotels. Located in a cool historical art deco building. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is fresh, and the place has such a cool vibe.“

“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 !“

“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“

“Reasonable prices. The food is so good 😋. The restaurant is packed, but I recommend it because the food is so worth it. I had rice and beans, mofongo plain with fried cheese on the side, and garlic on the side for the mofongo. It was slamming! They serve it with a salad 😋👍🏼. A must try.“

“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.“

“Guys so first of all I googled this place I went of your reviews thank you and it did its job it was delightful the rice nice and fluffy well done the beans smelled like grandma had just made them the baked chicken was good and a side of salad“

“I've been going to this place for over 20+ years with my family! It remains one of the best places to get crispy pork and rice and beans in the bronx! New owners have come along and other dishes they sell dont really hold up to the level of the pork. Stick with the crispy pork and you will be in 5 star heaven!“

“This review is long overdue! This is my FAVORITE Spanish restaurant ever. Their chicken is juicy and tasty, along side the mojito sauce; Amazing! They never fail, I’ve been going to them for over 8 years now. So good that I moved and still travel to eat from them.“

“They have good food, but I don’t speak spanish…so it’s usually very difficult for me to order. I usually get scared of coming in here due to the language barrier (sometimes there’s a customer that will help translate). I like to get white rice with this slow roasted chicken with sauce, beans, potatoes, and carrots. It’s about $10. The super old grandma is really mean - stay away from her. She won’t put it all in one tray, so she can upsell/upcharge you for each item as a small (a la carte).“

“We chose this restaurant out of the blue after a long day traveling and walking around downtown. This was a great restaurant... fresh, delicious food, great service and atmosphere. I highly recommend Havana Central Times Square for a casual dining experience for couples and families!“

“The food and atmosphere was very good , and there is parking right in front of the restaurant. The woman working there is very helpful, hardworking , and pleasant. The meat portion was very small however, and so lunch felt like it mostly consisted of rice and beans.“

“Absolutely terrible costumer service, a friend and I went in to get some food and we were asking questions and the workers were giving us attitude and ignoring us. I've also noticed a roach on the pizza, This place needs to be shut down. They should not be in business because of the way they be talking to costumers and being rude and nasty. We are not coming here ever again.“
