Theres another popular PR spot around here that a lot of people like but honestly that one doesn't stand a chance next to Borincano, they other one is grease central. The chicharon de pollo is great, the chuleta, churrasco and the sorullitos!!! That stands the real test,the sorullitos were crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside!!!

It was Buy one get one free. Each combo was 22 dollars. I ordered off of the website for pick up. l ordered the Pernil (roasted pork) with white rice, beans and sweet plantains and my second combo was the pollo asado with rice with pigeon peas and tostones . On my way to pick up i got a call stating that they were out of the chicken (totally understandable since it was close to closing time ) So I opted for the beef empanadas. I appreciate the customer service of them calling me before I got there and giving me different options. Upon arrival I was uncomfortable with the smell. Not sure if it was old oil and grease but it was pleasant. I received my food (which was so plentiful when I checked in the car.) However , the smell of the food , was as if the oil that it was prepared with was old. Not pleasant at all. Smelled up my entire car. Finally home to taste the peril was just okay 4/10 it tasted old and like it in fact had been prepared or reheated with dirty oil. The sides and empanadas were not bad. 7/10

Last month, I ordered takeout from this spot that's been frequented from Sophia and myself. The…read moreboth of us were never disappointed with our meals. Pre-pandemic, this was a place where we would have dine-in visits with friends of ours from a social group or just the two of us. It was probably close to a year since we last appeared so it was time to stop by. Similiar to the past visits, I called in our orders. They greeted me promptly when I walked in where there was only one table occupied. Quick and easy. For our orders, which both served as dinner and lunch for work at our respective sites, we chose their Cubano sandwich with our usual sides (fries for myself and plantains for Sophia). As always, the sandwich was pretty good packed with ham and roasted pork, pickles, cheese and mustard (both had no mayo). I would've liked for more fries in the box, but I had enough for both servings. La Pena Horeb came through once again. You know I'll be ordering takeout from here down the road. Till next time :)

Last weekend, I joined up people from a social group to have dinner here. El Fogon has been…read moreoperating here since 2024 at a building formerly occupied by de Rican Chef. Their dishes are a mix of Colombian, Puerto Rican and Mexican. Let's see how my first time went. Our table was already seated when I walked in. The decor inside was beautiful and spotless. On the TVs, they were showing the World Cup in action. The match was Panama versus England. Fun times if you're into soccer. After looking over the menu, I was ready to order. My selection was Pollo Hawaiiano, a dish popular in Colombia. It consists of grilled chicken, bacon, melted cheese and pineapple sauce. Refried beans and rice were the sides. The dish itself was fine. The chicken was two thin pieces and a slice of ham cooked well with melted cheese on top. It was interesting to have pineapple sauce covering the protein. I believe it was my second time having a Colombian dish (first being 2012) so I had to get used with all the ingredients coming together with every bite. The rice was cooked very well, but the refried beans weren't completely mashed and needed salt. I ate everything except the beans since I was getting full. For a first timer, I thought it was good. The dish didn't blow me away, but the service we receive was really good. So I'll give them another shot :)

Good: Friendly service!…read more The mixed fajitas for one had plenty of vegetables, steak and chicken.

I ordered the beef empanadas, pernil with arroz con gandules, and yuca in garlic sauce. The pernil was tender and flavorul, the rice was flavorful, and the empanadas were a solid start to the meal. Everything hit the spot. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout the meal without being overbearing. One thing to note: some menu items are seasonal, but that isn't mentioned on the menu. My friends and I had to pivot from our original orders because a few things weren't available. It wasn't a huge deal since we were flexible, but it would be nice to know ahead of time. All in all, I'm happy I finally crossed this place off my list. Now I just need an excuse to come back because those drinks were looking real good, and I definitely want to try a few next time. A happy hour perhaps!

It was clean and nicely decorated. My friend and l visited on a early Wednesday evening. We were seated immediately. After being seated it did take a little while for someone to take our order. But it wasn't too bad. The menu had a lot of appealing options. Only select items had prices on them. For appetizers we chose the oxtail empanada with cheese and the larger potato ball. Drinks we had mango margaritas which were on a happy hour specials for 5.99 ( Happy Hour is 11 a.m. to 9 p.m daily!) For dinner I had peril( roasted pork) with white rice and beans and sweet plantains. My friend had the roasted pork sandwiches between plantains. Pernil could have used more seasoning but was very tender 7/10 Potato ball- well seasoned, piping hot! 10/10 Mango Margarita 10/10 Oxtail empanada - not a lot of meat and kind of expensive for the size. $9.99. 6/10 Overall, I had a good experience and will definitely be back to try more items on the menu and another Margarita amd Potato ball.
