Absolutely AMAZING chicken pastelillos. I was in love the moment I took the first bite. Very soft outer dough, deliciously moist chicken, and mouth watering flavor. I almost devoured it instantly. I would absolutely LOVE to have some again. I'm ashamed to say that the pastelillos were the only thing I got. Overall: Chicken pastelillos 11/10 Service 10/10 Price: $8 for two

The food is outstanding. The pastelillos are perfectly crispy on the outside and packed with flavorful filling.

I stopped in and ended up chatting with one of the owners--he was so kind and clearly loves what he does. He walked me through the menu and pointed me to some favorites, which made the whole experience feel really personal. I got the Bori fries and the mofongo cups (one "chicken," one "beef"), and everything was incredible--rich, savory flavors, crispy plantains, perfectly cooked plant-based meats, and that mama sauce tying it all together. When I asked about desserts, he even gave me a cinnabon bun to try, and it was unreal--warm, soft, perfectly sweet. Already planning my next trip back. I can't wait to try more.

Casa Borinquena is so delicious! I have been a fan since their pop-up days in Oakland and I was…read moreexcited to bring my parents here and they absolutely loved it. We got a ton of stuff to share: the loaded tostones with beef, the Bori fries (yucca) with mushrooms, pinchos, rice with gandules, and pastelillos. Everything was really great, but I think our favorites were the tostones and yucca fries! Great flavors, well-seasoned, really just perfect! It's delicious Puerto Rican food that just happens to be vegan as well. The restaurant is fairly small, and you order at the counter. The person helping us was super nice and helpful in making recommendations. Everything is served in takeout containers even if you eat in, but I don't think that's a big deal. It's casual, in a good way. We also got a bunch of desserts to take home... and that coquito tres leches cake was soooooo good! Highly recommend! I hope Casa Borinquena has a long & successful run in Philly, so make sure you visit!

I will update later . The Alcapurias were delicious just a bit too small . The establishment looks very clean . The man in the pastry register was not open about recommending anything . He was in a big rush to get the line moving . The ladies working in the food section were not friendly. I recommend El Coqui . Overall the food & pastries were delicious.

On top of that, they also provide a few sauces: brown beef gravy, green chimichurri-like sauce, yellow mostly sweet honey mustard, Italian dressing for the salad.

After I thought we confirmed it, realized they left out my tres leches but glad we checked before finalizing the order.

I ordered the original pork mofongo with a side salad. The monfongo was seasoned well but was missing the crunch of the pork rinds. My partner ordered the white rice & beans with chicken wings. He enjoyed the beans & rice - unfortunately the wings were bland & you could taste the overused oil.
