If you really think about it the Dominican food has taken over the Bx. I searched, and found this place. The moment you step in you are greeted with the warmest blessings. The 2 beautiful people that worked there made our time there so memorable. The food was out of this world let me tell you. Also, I will say it is AFFORDABLE. portion size was huge and the place was so CLEAN. Food: Pernil: 10/10 flavorful and tender Yellow (arroz con gandules) and Black rice with the beans: 10/10 both were good and couldn't even decide which one was better Pulpo 9/10 : fresh and tangy, cut into small pieces so you can top it on your rice Alcapurrias: 8/10 great and made differently then what I'm used to but it was sooo good I'd come again for this alone Juices: Ask them to try the juices and they will let you. We tried it all. Came home with passion fruit (parcha) and guyaba (guanabana) Delicious 10/10 It was so fresh and they don't add too much ice so you get all the juice taste. All in all I'm coming here from now on. A true BX staple for the community and a true essence of the Bori pride resides here. If you miss PR, come here.

We ordered food to go. The highlight was the passion fruit drink. The potatoe ball was my favorite,…read more not saying much. It was a fried mashed potatoe ball with some ground beef inside, pretty bland. My next favorite was the blood sausage, it was a little dry and very mildly seasoned. I didn't like the pastillito at all. It had pulled chicken inside that was extremely dry and bland. The cuchiftito also was bland. The peril was dry and lacked flavor. In fact the rice and beans also lacked flavor!

Thus far I have only tried their cow foot soup, fried chicken, and fish. Everything was good!!…read more Pros: -Food is tasty (not full of flavor but tasty) -Cow Foot soup is very good but only served on Tuesdays -Fried Chicken is ok -Rotisserie Chicken is good and moist -My BF likes the spaghetti -Fish well seasoned and moist (I typically don't eat fish outside of my home, but, we ordered it for my mother who wanted the chicken instead) Cons: -Very small place -No menu -Hardly answers the phone -Salad is often watery (just lack of draining the salad properly but at least you know it was washed -Beef, in the beef stew, was dry -Small (did I say that already?!

First time having Puerto Rican food. Would go again. Food was amazing. The mofongo con pernil was perfect. The service was great. I had a small conversation with the waiter and I felt right at home talking to a family member. The restaurant is small and well kept and it felt like I was at grandma's house eating something personally made by her. Go check it out.

Wow everything was solid!…read more My favorite was the mofongo, I've never tried it and it was so tasty with shrimp. The rotisserie chicken is also good and juicy. You don't need to add beans and rice, it'll be additional charge. Soup was hearty but it tasted like other tomato soups. I want to try their fried chicken next.

No favoritism here on my end. I can honestly say they are not the best at customer service. I've watched several things here fluctuate from their A to B grade, B back to A grade. $1.25 Alcapurias to now $1.75 Alcapurias. All in all it's still very much worth the cheap price. Cuchifrito will not give you a great tasting Relleno de papa or Alcapuria the way Ramona's do. Around the way and need a little appetizer or full meal? Look no further and come into the Moore Street Red Market and try our Ramona's. Patrons are allowed to sit for about 30 minutes and enjoy some of their food.

I was hoping it would be tasty so I could have a new local spot, but I'll keep looking I guess. The amount of food I got for the price wasn't bad. The only thing I can think of that was positive about the food is that the potato ball was alright, I would eat it again.

At first, I didnt see the roast pork outside, but they got it from the oven ,which looks like the oven we use at home. I wonder how they pass food inspection. But, food taste good, and cheap, so that was my least of worry.
