    My sister told me to try this place for the "bacalao con verduras" which is a plate we grew up on…read moregrowing up. It's salted cod fish with starchy root vegetables like yucca, malanga (taro) and boiled green bananas (not plantains). I'll admit it's an acquired taste. Los Bravos is a small restaurant with a modest amount of seating, very tight parking and a very friendly staff. Food is on display in a hot cafeteria style setting. Very clean. You can see into kitchen too and it was clean. Muy importante! There were a few families eating inside and their eye catching plates came fresh out of the kitchen stacked high and with care. They were out of the 'bacalao guisado' that I wanted so I had to settle for a cold cod salad style. It was still tasty. The medium plate cost $8 and was a very generous serving. Knowing from experience how much work it is to peel those tough starchy vegetables and how much they cost, I think it was a great value. It was certainly enough to share or save for a second meal. Another hot box had the "frituras" which are all of our fried goodies. I bought a "relleno de papa" which is a soft ball size fried mashed potato ball, filled with seasoned ground beef. It was good. Perhaps a tiny tiny bit over salted but negligible and seemingly made of the instant potatoes which is not that uncommon. My dad used the instant at his restaurant 'back in the day' only because the potato balls seem to stay together better during frying. There was a cold box where flan and other desserts were on display along with the cold salads of octopus "pulpo", the cod fish and escabeche. The cashier gave me their card and told me about the different kind of sandwiches and mofongo they offer. She also told me that anything could be called in ahead to be ready for pick up. Open 7 days a week. Oh, please don't worry about a language barrier. I speak Spanish but until the cashiers English was perfect. All the Puerto Rican special soda and drinks were available. I'm giving Los Bravos 3 stars until I try other items on the menu. I definitely want to return and try some of their other dishes and also have a hunch that I may need to bump it up a star----but for me that will depend on the rice and roast pork! Buen provecho!

    I have tried other places in the area for Spanish food but it was my first time here. It was a good…read morething that i have been to places like Fernandez in Holyoke because their menu here was totally in Spanish, so i knew what to order. All their choices are visible to you at the counter, so you can basically point to what you want if their is a language barrier. I chose Spanish pork along with rice and beans. Pork was a little dry and not very flavorful as i have been accustomed to in the past with Spanish pork. Rice and beans were average. I should warn others who may try this place that the oversize jars that they keep on table, which are full of garlic, peppers, oil, is very spicy. I was having a heck of time getting oil to come out of jar, and decided to take stopper out and pour oil on top of pork. " Two bottles of water please, to go"
