Amazing Puerto Rican restaurant. True to the culture, and true to the flavor. The vibe had me back in La Placita!! I had the Bistek with Arroz Con Gandules and it was perfect. Medalla on the menu too!!

Always delicious! Order the Pork empanadas immediately! This food is authentic Puerto rican food from the island itself, and I would know being Puerto rican myself. A favorite of ours for sure!

We have a rule when we're on vacation, we don't eat anywhere that we can get at home. So, no fast foods or chain restaurants. I found this place on Yelp, and it was a 10 minute walk from our hotel. My husband is Puerto Rican and makes pretty good mofongo, but this was better than his (sorry babe!). I have not ever had Puerto Rican food this good or this authentic outside of my in-laws house or when we were actually in Puerto Rico. We started with the Rican Sampler -- tostones (fried plantain), beef empanadas, beef alcapurria (plantain paste with ground beef, fried), and some fried chicken bites. All of it was delicious! For the main course, I had the chicken mofongo and my husband had the shrimp mofongo. Our son had 2 Chuletas con Arroz y Habichuelas (fried pork chops with beans and rice). Everything was amazing. The portions were huge (I had enough mofongo leftover to have it for lunch the next day). We are going to try to go back before we leave because I really want to try their Cuban sandwich!

Fried yuca & tostones are AMAZING. Their pollo with tomato's and onions on top is not that good, their arroz con gandules is mid. My husband is Puerto Rican and honestly can make it better but if you're white and want "ethnic" food then this is a good place for it.
Julie Bess !!! Was an outstanding waitress and made our experience beautiful . Her recommendations and her attentiveness to our needs were incredible ! The food exceeded my expectations! Y'all go out an try it out . The mofongo top tier

We took carry out. My Puerto Rican wife is an amazing cook and De Rican tasted like we were eating at home in our kitchen. If you’re looking for authentic food with amazing flavors, we highly recommend. God bless!Vegetarian options: They have impossible meat as a substitute option.
