El Coquí Reviews

The recommended pork with smashed plantain (Mofongo de Cerdo?) lived up to its hype. The pork is tender, spicy with a light crisp and is served with a ketchup-mayo type sauce. Plantains rarely excite me, but the way they make them here makes it a definite reorder. The portion is very ample, maybe too heavy for one. The Mercado is awesome, there's so much uniqueness in one place.

As a Boricua, this is my go-to spot for Puerto Rican street food! The mofongo is incredibly delicious and well done. The empanadillas are classic and a safe option for those who are starting to get a taste of Latin American food. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel right at home. Although the menu is limited, the food does not fall short of freshness and flavor. It's so good that it impelled me to show my support and write my first Yelp review :)

I absolutely LOVE Puerto Rican food, and this place wasn't an exception. I ate A LOT in Portland, like A LOT, but this place definitely sticks out. We tried the empanadillas, alcapurrias, sorullitos, and of course some tostones (all the fried stuff haha). The owner was super upbeat and friendly, and that, along with the vibe at the Mercado, made it a great experience.
