Cuchifritos is a restaurant that offers a taste of Boricua culinary culture. It is known for its high-quality and plentiful dishes at affordable prices. Popular menu items include blood sausage, stuffed potatoes, and the highly praised shrimp mofongo, which has been described as the best ever. The chicharones are also recognized as some of the best. The pasteles with large chunks of meat and sweet plantains have received positive feedback. Although the alcapurrias have been criticized for having too much masa and not enough meat, they are still enjoyed. There have been some complaints about the service, particularly regarding language barriers that can make ordering difficult. Despite this, Cuchifritos is a decent option for those seeking this type of cuisine, especially in areas where it is hard to come by. The restaurant is located in an area with a strong police presence, making it feel safer for customers.
