4.3 (434)This snug Lower East Side spot serves up traditional Puerto Rican classics and comforting Latin American home cooking.
Description
The menu features staples like arroz con gandules and pernil, grilled chicken breast with white rice, and flan. While some find that the flavors carry a nostalgic, childhood familiarity, others note a few inconsistencies. The chicken can lean dry—though easily paired with a side of beans—and the sweet Morir Soñando is made with Tang and milk rather than fresh oranges.
