I didn't get a chance to try the dessert (thanks to a couple of good drinks ), but I'll be back for that! Our server Felix was amazing--funny, witty, and full of personality. The decor transported us straight to Puerto Rico , with vibrant touches and charm throughout the space. They even have an event area, complete with a dominos table right in the center, and a gorgeous outdoor space that's perfect for relaxing. I'm already planning to return this Saturday for some sancocho and dessert!

The deli had seats and high-speed fans - good start for getting out of the heat. Most of the items on the steam table behind the glass were more for lunch than breakfast. But they did have a breakfast menu that offered numerous morning items to pick from. My wife had the Huevos Ranchores and I had Huevos Estrellado both plates were good and so filling - we skipped lunch and had a very lite dinner. The sunny side up eggs were over hard. I was looking forward to the runny egg yolks other than that mucho bueno

Don't sleep on this place if you're in the area!

The flavors were authentic and the portions were generous. But what really got me excited was hearing about their upcoming Latin Day party next month! I'm eagerly waiting for more info on that.

I'm so grateful to have this gem nearby! Can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious dishes!

We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, and here is my review of the food right from the jump the food definitely did not disappoint.!! It was delicious! The service was great as well. You can definitely feel the family owned vibes from everyone in the place. Guest after guest came in and left with platters of food mostly they are famous empanadas and roasted chicken. There are about four small tables if you wanted to eat your food inside, but mainly while we were there folks left with platters of food. That's when you can tell a place is good when customers use a restaurants food for events and home-cooked dinners! I will definitely be back go here!!

If you really think about it the Dominican food has taken over the Bx. I searched, and found this place. The moment you step in you are greeted with the warmest blessings. The 2 beautiful people that worked there made our time there so memorable. The food was out of this world let me tell you. Also, I will say it is AFFORDABLE. portion size was huge and the place was so CLEAN. Food: Pernil: 10/10 flavorful and tender Yellow (arroz con gandules) and Black rice with the beans: 10/10 both were good and couldn't even decide which one was better Pulpo 9/10 : fresh and tangy, cut into small pieces so you can top it on your rice Alcapurrias: 8/10 great and made differently then what I'm used to but it was sooo good I'd come again for this alone Juices: Ask them to try the juices and they will let you. We tried it all. Came home with passion fruit (parcha) and guyaba (guanabana) Delicious 10/10 It was so fresh and they don't add too much ice so you get all the juice taste. All in all I'm coming here from now on. A true BX staple for the community and a true essence of the Bori pride resides here. If you miss PR, come here.

Rice was the way I like it - soft, not too oily, flavorful. I will go back with my bf who was born and raised in PR to see what he thinks, but I'm already a fan. They also have a lot of variety so I plan on trying something new next time. The lady working there said that sometimes they make guanimes (some people call them guanimos) which I have never been able to find outside of PR. I hope I get to try them at this place. So glad I found this spot and recommend you all check it out.

First time having Puerto Rican food. Would go again. Food was amazing. The mofongo con pernil was perfect. The service was great. I had a small conversation with the waiter and I felt right at home talking to a family member. The restaurant is small and well kept and it felt like I was at grandma's house eating something personally made by her. Go check it out.

Over a…read moredozen visits to Mi Tierrita, and the baseline truth remains undefeated: the food is cooked exceptionally well, and the platters are monstrous designed to easily feed two. TIn regards to the decor, this isn't a place chasing modern trends, and it's all the better for it. The rotisserie chicken has that perfect, deeply seasoned skin that only comes from a kitchen that knows its craft, and the salmon is a exceptional. It's an authentic, unapologetic Colombian staple where you can just head to the bar, grab a cold beer, watch the game, and get exactly what you came for. Food (4/5): Fantastic. The rotisserie chicken is packed with flavor, and the salmon is consistently excellent. The sheer volume of food is staggering. Customer Service (3.75/5): Reliable and down-to-earth. The staff keeps things moving smoothly, whether you're at a table or sitting at the bar. Decor (3.5/5): It isn't modern, but it doesn't need to be. It feels accurate, warm, and entirely right for an authentic neighborhood Colombian spot. Price: Around $25 per person. In an era of shrinking plates and rising prices, the value you get for the sheer amount of quality food here is a total steal.
