The place is small and the waitress didn't speak any English so a nice patron came to my rescue and translated my order, he asked me if I wanted everything on my sandwich and I said yes the was it's supposed to be and don't dumb it down for the Caucasian because I came here for the real deal food. I ordered the Tripleta sandwich with Puerto Rican rice. The Tripleta sandwich is roast pork, steak, ham, ketchmayo, cheese, lettuce and tomato on a roll of some sort. This $10 sandwich is a monster by the way. My first impression is all I taste is pork which I fine because it's good so I open the sandwich and all I see pork with a razor thin random ham piece and no steak at all. Regardless the sandwich was fu#king delicious piled/overflowing with tender pork. The hoagie roll was a great bakery artisan style French bread with a nice thin chewy crust, like my last review the bread really makes or breaks a good sandwich and they nailed this one. The Puerto Rican rice was also fu#king delicious, seasoned nicely and cooked perfectly just past Al dente but far from mush. I eat at so many restaurants and my memory gets hazy over the years but I really think that this was the best Puerto Rican restaurant I have been to and also it's probably what I ordered ala carte vs an entree on the menu.

I was simple this time and got a ham sandwich with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and cheese and even that hit the spot. I would definitely recommend their pastries if you have a sweet tooth!

They do take some time to come out with the food but that is part of them being a small, local owned business and you will definitely not be disappointed once you taste the food.

A I really love getting into the off beat neighborhoods and trying the little neighborhood places…read morelike today. I stumbled on this Puerto Rican place and I wanted to try it because I don't really see true Puerto Rican places at all come to think of it. I have not had Puerto Rican food since I was a boy eating at my friends house and I can only remember that rice was always on the dish. The place is across from the El Ray food store on 13th St with plenty of street parking. The neighborhood looks a little worse for wear but that is where you can find some of the best ethnic/real food. If there is such a thing as Puerto Rican dive than this place is it with all the artificial trees and roosters all over the place. There is plenty of old green booths and tables on old linoleum floors. Up front is a hot table with empanadas, blood sausage, pork, plantains etc. The older man and woman were very helpful in assisting me with picking out a dish that would be a good representation of Puerto Rican food. The menu has so much that I really don't know what it all was but I probably would have liked all of it no matter what I chose. I chose the Bistec enpanado which is thin breaded steak, Puerto Rican rice and fried plantains with a side of ground beef and cheese empanada. When the plate hit the table it smelled amazing and was plentiful so there would be left overs to relive my lunch again. For the first time I liked the plantains because they were not hard but fried with the texture of a thick slice of cheese. The rice had great texture/flavor and was fluffy with individual grains, no sticky mushy rice here. The breaded steak was very tasty but I can't nail down the flavor profile which bugged me. The empanadas was crispy/golden tasty but they were skimpy on the ground beef and cheese filling because 3/4 of the inside was air, see my pictures. I really liked all the flavors from the dish but I think the nicely seasoned ground beef and cheese empanada was my favorite with the crispy golden she'll. Overall for my first real adult experience with authentic Puerto Rican food I liked it even though the style is not super flavorful with bold tastes or flavors/spices. I would definitely like to get back and try some more of the menu, maybe the roast pork or the cubano sandwich.

We were greeted by the chef, she helped us make our selection. Super friendly, super personable. Loved eating here. I would go back to Milwaukee just so I can have another bowl of this fantastic soup. Please stop by Las Virellas, you won't regret it.

Maybe you or your cook had a bad day with the salt; it happens, I understand. However, I would never claim such a lie to hurt anyone's business establishment, especially a fellow Puerto Rican.

Please understand my negativity; it had to do with spending close to $50, and no one could finish the food. I apologize again, this time for bringing out the child in you. Have a Nice Day.
