Counter & Bodega

Though the restaurant looks unremarkable at first glance, the inside opens up into a vibrant space filled with upbeat Hispanic music. The kitchen turns out well-seasoned Puerto Rican dishes, offering generous portions of roasted pork, alcapurria, and arroz con gandules at reasonable prices. The popularity of the spot can result in longer wait times during peak hours, but the attentive service helps ease the rush. The venue also features a bar and hosts weekly Ladies Nights and prix fixe dining.
