Being they are NY born and raised Puerto Rican's she also thought it would be great to share the beauty of PR cuisine and Harlem South RVA did not disappoint! My sister was blown away by the customer service and the meals she'd previously ordered from their food truck and found they also offer catering! So she ordered appetizers of empanadas (chicken and beef) which they can customize...they were well seasoned and fried to perfection, Pernil (roasted pork) tender pieces of pork that literally melted in your mouth and very flavorful, Arroz con Gandules (rice and pigeons peas) this side dish was so familiar as it was part of one of the first dishes my bonus mom prepared many years ago, and last but certainly not least was the fried sweet plantains a bit of sweetness that paired so well with the entire meal! Their hours vary but they are on Facebook and Instagram where the days/hours are updated. Sis, bonus mom and extended NY family approved of all the dishes as some of the best authentic PR cuisine! Give them a try!

The omelet wasn't an omelet and it was just very bad. The tequenos were served w bottled sauce that wasn't meant for tequenos.

I really wanted to like this place :( They also added their own gratuity which was 20% We planned to tip since she was so nice, but that caught us off guard for sure.

Pretty good food if you have a craving for Puerto Rican food…read more The Pastelillos were delish. I ordered a ground beef and a chicken with cheese. They were crispy, good amount of filling and nice flavor overall. Fantastic. I think they should serve the meal with a bit more rice. The Pernil, pulled pork was sort of dry and unfortunately the large side of garilc mojo sauce (garlic oil) was sideways in the bag and by time I got it home, the oil had all leaked out into the paper bag and onto the floor mat inside my car. The mofongo bites listed as 5 bites, however I only received 4. They were on the sweet side. The masa from the plantain taste too ripe for my liking. I prefer more green plantains in my mofongo. The tostones were pretty good. The pictures made them look a bit larger, but oh well. This was my first time ordering from a ghost kitchen, and the concept is a brilliant idea because you can order from so many cuisines! You can try so many restaurants in one place. Quite amazing.

Amazing Puerto Rican food! There are not many Puerto Rican spots here and coming from Florida,…read morethat's a huge bummer. So that basically means I'll drive pretty far to try something if it's authentic. This place definitely fits the bill! They have a rotating menu and are only open on the weekends, so you have to check in advance to see what they're serving that day. My husband and I came on a Sunday and they were already sold out of the pernil which I really wanted to try. We got the carne guisada and the bbq chicken and both were amazing! We also loved the juices and the food had tons of flavor, and also loved their alcapurrias and empanadas too.

Then the website had a phone number so I called them and the recording said to text them so I texted them and there was no response at all. Ever. Nothing posted to their social media either.

After drooling over the plates that went by, we asked the owner to help us narrow down our options. We landed on the Chicharron Sampler for an appetizer. For our main courses, we had the Bandeja Paisa and the Paella Caribena. We were also eyeing the Dominican-style beef stew and the Sancocho Soup. We asked for a sample of the Sancocho soup and that's when we found out they make everything to order - including the soup! His wife went into the kitchen and whipped up a sample of the soup ... we didn't mind the wait for the sample as we knew she was working her magic! It did not disappoint. We ordered a large soup to go! It'll be cold later this week and this will be perfect in the rainy weather. This place reminds me of home - the way my mother cooks ... the flavors are developed and everything was cooked to perfection. I did a little dance in my chair with each bite! The portions were large - we'll have left overs for the next several days! And I CANNOT wait! We're looking forward to coming back and trying something new! PHOTO DISCLOSURE: We dove into the Chicharron Sampler before we took the photo. What you see is just a small portion of the actual serving size. Also, the photo of the soup was the made from scratch made to order sample of the Sancocho soup.

I was driving home on Rt. 1 (Richmond Hwy) and notice a restaurant just past Corporate Drive that I…read morehaven't seen before. So I pulled in, parked, walked in and the restaurant was cleaned with a beautiful bar. I ordered 3 items: 1) Beef empanadas 2) Cuban sandwich 3) Buffalo wings. As the appetizers arrive to the table, though I only chose one empanada out of the three flavors they offer: cheese, beef or chicken. I chose beef which was served with a special sauce (mayo and ketchup), because it was well seasoned and the filling was packed, the sauce wasn't needed. The crust was thin, flaky and delicious on its own. The buffalo wings served their homemade ranch, with 8 pieces were juicy, tender and delicious. Unfortunately the Cuban sandwich fell flat for me. The ingredients were ham, cheese, roasted pork, pickles, mayonnaise and mustard. The sandwich was flattened like a panini and I was excited for the first bite but the protein was too dry. As I lift the bread, there was only a teaspoon mayo and mustard spread. It was served with matchstick fries and a ramekin of ketchup. I wanted to ordered desserts but unfortunately they do not make all of their homemade desserts (flan, tres leches, rice pudding) every day. You will have to called in to see what they have before dining in. The only dessert available that day was their flan. My server Karla was friendly and attentive. I would make another visit to try other items on their menu.
