A Bronx Restaurant for Pernil and Hard-To-Find Pasteles
Eat on Burke Avenue, where specialty orders take an advance call.
🍽️ Classics And Specialty Orders
Pernil starts the conversation at La Estrella Tropical, the Latin American restaurant at 744 Burke Ave in the Bronx. Pasteles and alcapurria de pollo offer a different direction, though these specialties require you to call in advance. Reach the restaurant on 718 798 5723 before heading over to arrange that part of your order.
Dominican and Puerto Rican cooking sit within the wider menu of familiar classics, with rice, beans, and plantains among the readily available sides. Portions are sized for individuals or groups, making room for a meal on your own or a shared order with company at this neighborhood spot.
The restaurant opens every day from half past seven AM to 10 PM. Pick an early meal or an evening stop within that daily window, with weekday and weekend plans covered by the same opening and closing times.
