The Pasteleon and fried pork chops are amazing. The pork chop well season not salty and not dried. The pasteleon reminded me of my abulitas cooking.Kid-friendliness: They understand children are children.

I only ordered what my grandmother would make so that I could compare and have that home-cooking comfort! Nothing is ever as good as grandma’s cooking, but needless to say this is close #2!!! Arroz con gandules, mofongo with pernil, and alcapurria was my favorite but you cannot go wrong with anything. A small, cash only place that has a true homey neighborhood feel. Just waiting to go back!

This Puerto Rican restaurant is a true gem, offering an authentic taste of the island's flavors right in your neighborhood. With only six tables, this small restaurant can get pretty crowded. While there's no printed menu at the restaurant, you can easily find their offerings on Google. The roasted pork and octopus salad are standout dishes, prepared with precision and bursting with flavor. With over 44 years of experience, it's clear they've perfected their menu. The restaurant radiates a charmingly nostalgic vibe, reminiscent of 1980s Puerto Rico, complete with handwritten receipts and waiters calling out orders. The attentive staff is more than happy to guide you through the menu and ensure a memorable dining experience. Just remember to bring cash, as it's the only form of payment accepted here.

Delicious food, with aromas that bring you in from the street! Lovely family restaurant, consistently good, friendly and welcoming. The Chicharron de Pollo are the best, perfect seasoning, crispy and delicious, served with fresh lemon.

One of the best if not the best Puerto Rican food in Manhattan. The kan kan chop is delicious, and enough for two people. And the alcapurrias are always a must.
