Location , not the safest as there were a group of ...people with nips and wine bottles asking for money. Anyway, let's get to the food , take a look at my pictures , this food held up fantastic on the 1 1/2 hr drive home. The mofongo was soft and paired perfectly with the chicken , sauce and peppers. The arroz was flavorful and the pernil was tasty as well. I would've loved bigger pieces instead of the smaller but that's ok !! The Colombian style empanadas were packed with filling and were delicious. This mom and pop restaurant with the vintage menus gets an B+ in my book. Mucho gracias.

We also had a side order of maduros for an app. Delicious! The maduros were legit my favorite thing here, although everything was great. For a main course I had shrimp in garlic sauce with mamposteo. Served on a huge plate, there was a giant portion of rice and a small side salad as well as many good sized shrimp. Super delicious and the food was piping hot. Service was great and I loved the music here, which was a mix of reggaeton, Bad Bunny and Karol G but played at a low, chill volume so it didn't distract from conversation. The interior is sort of casual but with some nice touches like a wall of greenery with a PR flag. Our server was super friendly and this is a family business. We parked in the private lot in the back, which is reserved for tenants of the building. A guy who appeared to be associated with the barber shop in the same building told us it was safe to leave our car there to visit the restaurant. I'd recommend parking near the barbershop since they seemed to keep their door open and would see anyone messing with your car. There were a number of homeless people here begging but they did not bother us. Only reasons for not giving five stars has nothing to do with the food, atmosphere or service. I found the women's bathroom in need of a cleaning and they also have a small convenience fee that was not mentioned anywhere but was added to our bill. Additionally, be careful to review your check because they automatically add a 20 percent gratuity.

Being such a famous restaurant we expected the best , our friend first time in Puerto Rico so we wanted to show them our tipical PR food. First our waiter seemed like he did not want to be there, second we ordered the food an it took forever (over an hour and a half), and lastly when the food got to the table it was cold, it seemed like it had been sitting in the kitchen for quite a while. The womens bathroom was pathetic!!! I have never seeing something like that (other than a porto-potty) the trash was full to the top, and the floor had more trash than the trashcans, and toilet, forget it!! I cannot describe the condition they were in.

For a quick weeknight dinner, I stopped by Empanellie's. While browsing the menu, I decided to try…read morethe jibarito - a sandwich made with flattened plantains instead of bread, filled with lettuce, tomato, and a choice of protein ($14). I picked the euphemistically named "steak," which turned out to be ground beef that wasn't even well-browned. The combination of lettuce, tomato, and simply seasoned ground beef tasted a bit too much like a Crunchwrap Supreme. Fresher and twice the size, sure - but still within that same flavor palette. Even the fried green plantains, which should've added some texture, had steamed into mild sogginess from the foil wrap, despite me ordering it for dine-in. Maybe I'll try the Cubano or the empanadas next time. The jibarito was fine, but definitely overhyped here and on Google Reviews.

I didn't even have the car parked yet and I was already seeing signs that this place was good. Despite the long line they must have been cranking through orders pretty fast because we got to the front of the line faster than expected. I just stood there with my maw gaping open like an idiot because I didn't know what to order, there were just so many options! I finally decided that if I couldn't decide on any one thing, then I wanted all the things (this is reasonable to me as an American). I asked for one of everything from a display case and they loaded up a box with what must have been about 15 different munchy crunchy treats. I honestly can't remember how much it was, but it was pretty reasonable, only like $12 or $14, something like that. I tried looking at my bank statements to double check but couldn't find it on there. That probably means I made my girlfriend pay for it because I'm an upstanding 21st century gentleman that believes in equality. Anywho the treats were the bomb.com and I'll probably be back if I'm ever in the Worcester area again.

My son who lives in Worcester eats at La Reyna a lot, so we decided to try it. My husband and I shared a large Cuban sandwich and it was great! The roast pork in it was absolutely delicious... full of flavor and very moist and juicy. Looking at the beans and rice and Pernil in the steam tray and seeing the specials, I'm really looking forward to picking up dinner there next time around. They have a large array of Puerto Rican pastries and deserts that look fresh and delicious, but we didn't have room to try them. La Reyna Express is a storefront restaurant with a few tables and a small counter. It's located in a strip mall near Worcester center with plenty of parking. The people behind the counter were very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back.
