Cocina Borinquena - Reserva de mesa

This place gives you a ton of food and for a decent price. I got it delivered and they marked every container which was well received. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the fresh taste as in the restaurant due to the delivery circumstances. I would have had the mofongo if I ate at the restaurant. Nonetheless, the rice was dry on the top due to delivery but the bottom of the rice was good (not great). Likewise, the pernil was plentiful but lacked flavor in my opinion. The chicken was dry as well. The carne guisada was actually pretty good once the smell of cigarettes went away (that most likely was caused by the delivery driver). The empanadas were okay and the tostones were my favorite pa...

This place is incredibly overpriced! The food isn’t even that good. The sorullos are not freshly made; I can get a pack of 24 at ShopRite in Perth Amboy for $2.99, but here they want to charge $1 each—six for $5.99! They look the same as the ones at ShopRite. As for the Rellenos de Papa, they’re $2.99 each—what a joke! A simple canoa is priced at $6.99—are they serious? Just because they’re in a different neighborhood from Perth Amboy, they think they can charge extra for food. I had heard from others that they were overpriced and that the food wasn’t good, but I wanted to see for myself. If you’re going to charge this much, the food at least should be decent. I bought two items, and when sh...

I just tried this restaurant for the first time tonight, and even though I'm not usually a big fan of takeout—especially for this type of cuisine—my wife and I were thoroughly impressed. We ordered the sampler platter and the pernil dinner with arroz con gandules and red beans, thinking we were just getting a small appetizer and a regular-sized dinner. To our surprise, the portions were generous, and the food was exceptional. After being let down by various places in the area since moving here, this restaurant is a real gem. They did forget one item from our order, but a young woman called me right away to inform me, and she was very polite and professional. With great customer service and a...

We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant, but it ended up being somewhat disappointing. While the beef empanadas were quite tasty, the rest of the dishes we ordered didn't taste fresh at all. The shrimp mofongo was dry and overwhelmed by raw garlic. The chuletas seemed like they had been pre-cooked and then just fried to reheat, making them overcooked and too salty. The tostones also fell short, lacking any real flavor. Reserva una mesa ahora

Food is delicious and flavorful, I am picky with my Pernil but this place does it right. The young boy and girl who often work the front are so generous and I’ve seen them first hand go out of their way to make customers comfortable and happy while they wait. I even saw the young boy run and hold the door open for an older man. Made my night! 5 stars

First when to this place when it opened up several times -food was ok. Gave it another chance tonight and just not good. The tostones tasted old, drenched in oil. Alcapurrias also drenched in oil just no taste/flavor.

The food was fantastic—hot and packed with flavor. It was wonderfully moist, and I will certainly be ordering from this place again! Reserva una mesa ahora
