The alcapurria was not greasy at all! The Bistec Encebollado was done medium and actually came out flavorful and medium! Fresh onions, and the arroz con gondulez were not salty or hard. from the bottom of my heart, this was a very at home meal for the culture! I heard they do a karaoke night! I 100% will be back! Thank you Raices Boricua! I found my new favorite place! 10/10 I definitely recommend! Bring a friend bring a date bring your family!

The food smells delicious and tastes even better. Perfect for a summer snack after the beach this place is customer service friendly and even gave us some big spray because the flies were relentless. This is definitely authentic Puerto Rican food and I highly recommend 10/10. We ordered the tostones, small chicken mofongo burrito, and empanadas. Reminds me of Puerto Rico.

Only issue I personally have is... they shut down at least 2-3 times within a few years and wondering why that keeps happening...definitely call to see if they are open. Is too bad because they can really be one of the best Spanish places in the area but not consistent with the hours. Not even sure they are still open when writing this review. I actually go another restaurant 35 minutes from my home but super worth it!!! Even order some Thanksgiving food but will not disclose that Information here.... At Tainos Restaurant- I'm just being honest. Step up the game with advertising and store hours, trust me, you will have much better success. Good luck. Gave 3 start per the above but the food is actually a 4.5-4.8

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.

Once you enter you place your order in front of the hot lunch spread. I ended up getting the Pernil ($13) which was alright, maybe because I'm spoiled from having Dominican food in Washington Heights/city. The Maduro ($1.80) was a bit dry, which kinda looks like it from my photo. I'm thinking it was an off day. I may try again. * Street parking * Indoor dining

BTW the flan was incredible. I really loved the food experience. Portions are spot on. It is like a bodega shop like I grew up with in Washington heights. Nice and welcoming. Very homey and I liked it. Nice place for an impromptu meal. Service needs a little help...My girl could be friendlier and provide service with smile versus the standoffish demeanor she had. You want me to be a repeat customer right? You want me to come back right? Then great me with a smile and serve me with a smile. When you open a restaurant this is primo important! Could be a language barrier thing but if someone can pass this along I will only take one star off because the food was delicious. Worth going to but my girl needs to up the service game por favor.

Inside was nice with plenty of seating for groups and AC to keep you cool on hot summer days. Acoustics were great we were able to enjoy our conversation without having to yell over loud music.

Our waitress was top notch took care of our coffee and food orders with a smile on a rainy cloudy day. Ordered the Coquito latte, delicious- paired with the sweet and spicy chicken and Coquito batter waffle!! Wow the flavor was great didn't even need syrup. Loved the contrast of sweet and salty. Great portion sizes for the price. My wife got the Coquito French toast with scrambled eggs hash brown potatoes and bacon served on a charcuterie board. Eggs were fluffy and delicious the French toast was soft and buttery.
