New York Rican happened to be very nearby, super convenient (a food truck) and turned out to have some really good "Puerto Rican, Dominican & Cuban food, New York style". It's also a type of cuisine I miss. There's not a lot of options in the Bay Area, compared to Miami or the Bronx. Huge kudos for using REALLY fresh ingredients, down to the lettuce and tomatoes. Reasonable prices too. I'd definitely return for these reasons. The Mofongo with Pork was a standout for sure. The mashed plantains of the mofongo had a good texture and a slight garlicky flavor, which I liked. The deep fried pork was excellent with a nice mixture of fattier and lean pieces. So moist. The deep fried pork could be an entree in and of itself. REALLY good. Also available are grilled chicken and shrimp, but I generally stick to the original style of dishes. The Tripleta Sandwich was good too. It's a manageable size hand-held size with steak, chicken and pork on a very fresh roll. There were a few bits of steak that were a bit hard (maybe over grilled), but with the plenty of sauces they provide, you can barely tell. Everything is packaged well too, so no need to worry about spills or messes in the car.

The only words that were said is that salsa is hot We were also very shocked at how big the arepas were and took the empanadas home for a snack later that night. They were very good even reheated.

I had one there and ended up ordering four more to go because I liked them that much. That said, I did end up with some pretty intense stomach issues afterward, enough that I spent the rest of the day, the night, and even into the next day dealing with it. I think it may have been the red sauce they use, but I'm not even completely sure. It was the only thing I had eaten that day, so it's hard not to connect the two. It's a shame because the arepas themselves were really good, which makes the whole experience a bit conflicting.

Rich, perfectly seasoned dish with fresh seafood, saffron rice and tasty Latin spices. It's a must try if you're visiting! What truly made the evening unforgettable was the incredible service. We were celebrating a birthday, and without us even asking, the team surprised us by bringing out a dessert with a candle. I was holding up my phone to shazam a Maluma song playing from the speakers. One of the servers came by to tell me the name of the song in case the shazam app couldn't figure it out. Fantastic customer service! From start to finish, we had a blast: the food, the ambiance, and most importantly, the people. I can see us coming back to try more dishes sooner vs. later. Cheers!
