Very authentic Puerto Rican food. Only place in the area that makes pollo guisado with cut up chicken parts instead of being lazy and using dry chicken breast. Only issue I had was the first time we ordered, we got a pretty huge serving of it and the beans were in a larger container. Second time it was a very small serving and the beans were in such a small container, there was barely enough for all of the rice you got. Come on. You know that's just wrong. lol! Alcapurrias were huge and delicious too. Don't skimp on the beans and food. You all know us Puerto Ricans just don't do that.

I'm obsessed with mofongo so I looked for a Puerto Rican spot for my birthday dinner. The whole fried red snapper photo made me drool a lil bit so I decided to check it out. Very small space with a few tables. Looks like a local spot in PR. Felt bad for coming 45 min prior to closing but the young lady greeted us with kindness. Fried cheese was fire!! Didn't even need a dipping sauce. I prefer my mofongo a lil crispy on the outside but I don't think I've ever had bad mofongo. Beef was tender and juicy like it had been stewing all day soakin up the flavors. Will definitely visit again!

1st time here and I'm so glad I tried it. They only have 2-3 tables so it's more of a takeout place. We ordered the fried pork with white rice n bean with fried sweet plantains. We also ordered the shaved beef plate with white beans n rice and plantains. The beans were deliciously flavored. The empanadas were so tasty and made fresh, ordered one beef one chicken. They came with a cream sauce but I asked for the red spicy sauce as well. Pro tip: order ahead as they get busy.

We were in town from Richmond for a shopping trip and decided to stop here for dinner. Food was very authentic, flavorful, and delicious. Small place, three small tables and had to wait about fifteen minutes but the wait was worth it. The Alcapurrias had a very thin masa but enough to have a good amount of meat. My daughter had the mofongo, I had the Pernil and my husband had the chicharron de pollo, again very delicious. If in town definitely check it out.

The food here deserves 10 stars! Thank you to fellow Yelp reviewers who led me to suggest my friends to go to El Borincano for dinner. While the restaurant only seats 12 people, the ambiance and aroma is so welcoming.I ordered the bBistec Encebollado - beef sautéed with onions with 2 sides that you can choose from: salad, white rice, yellow rice, tostones or sweet plantains. I got salad and yellow rice. The salad was so fresh served with no dressing however it goes well with the house sauce (akin to thousand island with mayo..?). Yellow rice is moist. My friends ordered Fried Pork Chop and conch salad. These were served in delicious well seasoned portions. Highly recommend this restaurant, easily my best Latin American restaurant. You will NOT be disappointed, guaranteed!
Great food
