Sofrito 787 NY

For the past month I have come every Friday to get their pernil sandwich with homemade chips and a side of rice w gandules.

The food is consistently delicious and the staff is super friendly.

Best Puerto Rican food in the 845.

I am Puerto Rican and I feel like a lot of these reviews that are saying the food is good lack the culture. I ordered the most simple meal chicharron de pollo, white rice beans and tostones. The tostones were hard and dry, there was a drop of hot sauce in the container she gave me. The most disappointing thing was the chicken, it was tough, no flavor it was disgusting. I had 2 pieces and couldn’t finish the rest. The beans and rice were great I can say. There is nothing special and the taste flavors quality isn’t there. I won’t be coming back, which is sad.

I used to love this Puerto Rican restaurant, but sadly, the quality of the food has gone downhill. The taste of the dishes is no longer as good as it used to be. The flavors that once made this place special are now lacking.

On my recent visit, the mofongo was dry and lacked the rich garlic and pork flavors it used to have. The arroz con gandules was bland, and the pernil was tough and overcooked. The portions also seemed smaller compared to my past experiences.

The service was still friendly, but that doesn't make up for the disappointing food. It's unfortunate, but I can no longer recommend this restaurant to others. I hope they can turn things around and bring back the quality we all once enjoyed. When the owner was the cook it was AMAZING! Until then, I’ll be looking for other options to satisfy my Puerto Rican food cravings.

I was not impressed by the food at all. Some of the stuff was cooked a day ago. Sad to say I will never go back.

My family and I dined at Sofrito, a wonderful Puerto Rican restaurant. The welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service from our server, Flor, made our visit memorable. We enjoyed delicious dishes, ending with a perfect Flan dessert. Sofrito beautifully celebrates Puerto Rican culture and cuisine.

Very delicious and consistently great. I liked both types of the dessert empanadas. My favorite entree was Glazed Chicharron De Pollo but I haven't had a bad entree yet.

The most authentic puertorican/dominican food I’ve had since moving to Orange County in 2018.
Totally hit the comfort food bell! Delicious and the presentation was gorgeous and understated. Nothing about this place tries hard. Felt like summer.
