Puerto Rican Restaurants near Ozone Park, NY

“Loved this spot! I came here on a Tuesday night and it was empty but I liked it like that! Music was great and everything was great. I loved their food and their white sangria! I can’t wait to go back to try more of their dishes and go on a weekend when I can party with the regulars!“

“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!“

“‘The Freakin Rican’ rocks! I got a Pernil Sandwich with fries and a Guanabana drink. I loved how warm the food was and how natural the drink was. The Spanish music was amazing. The atmosphere was amazing. I even loved the aesthetic of the restaurant! Definitely planning to comeback??!“

“$25.00 for a plate of pernil, octopus, arroz con gandules, ample portion and well worth it. The guy has magical cooking skills. Lechon is falling off the bone, everyhing is delicious, tasty. It's in the Bronx, well worth the trip. He is leaving for Aguadilla, Puerto Rico soon to open a Lechonera there. What a loss. The guy is so charming, really nice man. Food is just amazing.“

“Great place with lots of food variety. True PuertoRican food. Good price and friendly staff.Parking: If you are lucky, you can find parking on the street. There’s lots of traffic in the zone and people drive carelessly. Have to be careful crossing the streets.Wheelchair accessibility: Not easy for wheelchair.“

“As a Latina, i can say the following statement: THE BEST EMPANADAS IN THE CITY. So delicious, they even have their name branded on the dough. Just, so creative with the fillings. I got the shrimp and guava/cheese empanadas and I had to order more. Please come in here and try them out. You will not be disappointed !!!!!!“

“I love the environment of this spot and the food it's truly great, they have the best preference for Latin food in Brooklyn, the help is astounding, and the server Nora Estrada takes my request and is truly kind, in the event that very much like Latin food this is an ideal spot for you.? ??“

“I love to support my people but I've come from staten island two Saturday's in a row and have been turn away. Was told they weren't taking orders. Finally the 3rd Sat I ordered 4 empanadas de carne and two sodas, paid almost $25 only two find each empanadas had less then half in meat. The empanadas should have the meat falling out of them at the price we paying.. very disappointed..Sounda like your saying that you cook the empanadas with raw meat. I've seen my many family member make empanadas and the meat is put into the empandas already seasoned and cooked and only the shell is uncooked so that don't make sense too me.“

“This place is a gem . If your looking for authentic Spanish food, then you must come here. 915 St. John's Avenue in the outskirts of the South Bronx. Alcapurrias and pastelitos that will have your mouth watering and wanting more. Definitely feels like a real Latino experience. Not a fine dining location , but if your humble and want to enjoy possibly the best alcapurrias and pastelitos in the Bronx , if not in all of NYC then you should definitely check this place out .“

“Love this place for a nice dinner. It’s great for a dinner date or even with family. The drinks are great. I love their blue lemonade. You can’t go wrong with any of them! The service and food are delicious. I usually have their cheese mofongo. Niurka is the best hostess. She’s very attentive. They even had a live band when I went tonight.“

“If you grew up in a Puerto Rican household hold this will be perfect to get that nostalgic feeling. They had live music on the day we weekend. It brought me back to when family and friends would just enjoy each other company with some drinks and fried food. Everyone was nice and felt like we knew each other for years.“

“Their food is delicious! I'll definitely would love to make this a regular lunch spot or when I don't want to cook I 100 percent recommend ? I can't wait to try their other dishes! I'm pregnant I'm waking up in the middle of the night thinking about it ?“

“Space is limited, if possible I recommend buying to go. However, we were a group of 6 and the ladies kindly helped us accommodate two tables. The food was delicious, and the portion was more than enough. Perfect to get out of the fast food routine to eat something more homemade. I would definitely go again“

“By coming here, you put aside all snobby expectations and your mission is only to have some real bomb @ss food. Bro I cannot put into words how good and real it is. Both kinds of alcapurria here (banana and yuka) to start and follow with anything else. The ladys are nice but try to know some Spanish.“

“The food is good. it’s located at a food truck. The gentleman does bring the Roast Pork and food from a separate oven into his food truck, Saturdays and Sundays only. It is worth the wait standing on lineParking: It’s located in the south Bronx“
