De Rican Chef Newport News Reviews
Absolutely amazing! I went with the family today for the first time. The food was incredible, pure perfection. Real Puertorican taste. Great atmosphere and the employees are so polite and very welcoming.
I was able to visit The Rican Chef in Newport News with 4 kids my 76 year old Mom and my niece, as soon as we walk in they makes us feel welcome and for me it was like walking to my grandmas house in Santurce Puerto Rico with the smell of yummy food. The food is delicious this is definitely authentic Puertorican food 10/10 we will be back soon. Myrta Gracias por el servicio tan maravilloso que nos brindaste.
My husband, son and I are visiting Virginia and found this place so highly recommend it!! Food is very authentic and the flavors man brings me back to my childhood. Again I’ll say it so very highly recommend it! We left very satisfied.
Menu
De Rican Chef Newport News provides a flavorful Puerto Rican dining experience with authentic dishes. The Chicken Stew, Mofungo, De Rican Sampler, pernil, arroz blanco, habichuelas, tostones, carne guisada, arroz con gandules, and morcilla are highly recommended. The generous portions often satisfy customers to the point that some cannot finish everything in one sitting. Visitors praise the freshly-made empanadas, alcapurrias de guineo, chicken chicharrones, and tostones. Service is welcoming, though some find the service slow. The atmosphere can be loud at times, especially during dinner hours, which may be a concern for some guests. Parking is available on the first level of the lot, and the restaurant is accessible for wheelchair users. Recently, customers enjoyed dishes like mofongo w pollo al ajio, Tripleta Sandwich with Tostones, Pastelon, and Relleno de Papa, noting that the food was hot, tasty, lightly seasoned, and not greasy. Overall, De Rican Chef is a great spot for those craving authentic Puerto Rican cuisine that rivals the food on the island.
