    There'a few local places that come to mind that get 5 stars, and they share the unique mojo of introducing cool, unique and non-typical ethnic/cultural food to the Valley (Little Damascus and Bombay Curry Grill come to mind...). Welcome Anna's Cookin to that list. Been hearing buzz, both word of mouth and on social, so had to make a stop. In short? Oh.....my.....Lord. THIS may have been one of my most "stop me in my tracks, do a double take, and is this place for REAL?" dining experiences in the last few years. Note, it's a small little place on Mahoning Ave, unassuming to look at. Menus (daily) on the wall, pleasant staff, great guy waited on us. Got carryout just threw darts at the wall- honey chicken, chicken empenadas, fried plantains, spanish rice, some rice n beans, just wanted a potpourri cuz I'm a grazer of sorts :-) . Met Anna, adorable, and she tossed in some pernil pork and mac salad gratis "for the new customer". Welp...got home, and was floored. Cuz really, post COVID seems like a lot of dining experiences are getting "meh"- seemingly more difficult to get good food out. Here? Not only a different cultural Puerto Rican twist, but again some of the best food I've eaten in a loooong time. Everything, and I mean everything, was spot on. Damn, I do enjoy food thats not run-of-the-mill standard fare, and Anna's kills it. As I say in all my reviews, the bottom line review you can give for any eatery is "would I come back?". A definite yes and an easy 5 stars.

    Really loved this place. Authentic Puerto Rican food and great service…read more The staff is engaging and willing to help you if you aren't familiar with Puerto Rican food. Lots of locals and lunch crowd. Staff knew people by name when they came in. Everything was made by them. The pulled pork bowl was my favorite. The fried plantains in the bowl were awesome. If there is one thing I would change it is the dinning room. It is clean and spacious but very utilitarian. For all the ethnic charm of the staff and vibrant flavors the dinning room is spartan. Highly recommend you try this place - I drove out of my way to get here and it was worth it.

    I have really been looking for something different to come to Niles. We've got plenty of Italian,…read moreChinese, Burgers, chicken, and a few Indian, and Japanese places. RR is just what this area needed! I've been here a few times now, and I love it. When I confessed to the staff that I'm not fond of spicy food, they insisted that Puerto Rican, while flavorful, is not spicy unless you ask for a spicy sauce. They were absolutely right on that description. So far, I've had Monfongo (w/ shrimp), ground beef & cheese Pastalillo, loaded Relleno, and Maduros. Everything was delicious, but special shout-out to the Pastelillo, which was EXCELLENT. It's flaky fried dough, stuffed with your choice of protein. In my humble opintion, this is the best item on a menu filled with great food. Also...just added to the menu are Tres Leches cake, and Chocolate Tres Leches cake. The chocolate was great. I love that it was sweet, but not *too* sweet. I'll be ordering food here a lot.

    My husband and I had lunch at Tropical Bay Latin Cuisine on Friday and it was fantastic! We each…read moreordered mojitos, he had the lime and I had the passion fruit and both were absolutely excellent and so refreshing. For food, we shared two appetizers and honestly could have made a meal out of them. The Dominican Flag was incredible: crispy fried plantains, perfectly melty fried cheese, Dominican salami and smoky longaniza, all topped with pickled red onions that added the perfect zing. Every bite was packed with flavor and felt like true comfort food. We also loved the Loaded Yuca Balls; crispy golden yuca stuffed with cheese and topped with roasted pineapple, jalapeños, sour cream, and bacon. The combination of sweet, spicy, cheesy, and savory was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

I've grown close to the entire team, the mom, the friend Jackie who's a cook there as well. They treat you like you are going to visit a family member. The ambiance is incredible, they put in a lot of hard work and did many updates in the bar area. Please visit and tell them Cee Cee said they should try the place.
