This would be my 4th time coming which I really love this place. Food is delicious, and drinks are perfect. We had a minor mistake with our order, but even with the mistake I’ll still come again lol

I have been to many Spanish restaurants and me being from Puerto Rican descent have tasted authentic Puerto Rican food many times! What I’m trying to get at is this restaurant really hit home and hit that desire for something authentic and satisfying! I will be returning here many times

Amazing food! We loved everything we got, especially the seafood caserole and the Chuleta Kan Kan. The service was great and the design of the restaurant was pretty nice too. The presentation of the dishes was excellent and the price was reasonable for the great quality. I would also really recommend getting a margarita with tamarind. It was unlike anything I had tried before. Overall, it was one of the best restaurants we tried in the US.

The menu was expansive and my only regret was that I couldn’t eat more. My paella was flavorful and full of seafood cooked perfectly. I’m unfamiliar with PR cuisine and enjoyed seeing what the other diners ordered. I wish the menu had photos. The outdoor seating would be lovely if spring actually arrives.

UNBELIEVABLE! This Restaurant definitely has class all the way. One must experience and absorb all it has to offer. The food is absolutely amazing! Created with such care, design, the spices used touch your pallet in a close your eyes and let your taste buds enjoy and savor each bite. The presentation is beautiful and memorable. Your mouthwaters and your taste buds say more. The Atmosphere and staff are top shelf with class all the way. The intricate details and love that is presented in the food is an amazing experience. The historical building is a definite must see with details of art everywhere. Come and dine , together, a romantic date, alone or a family and friends get together. See you there!

Family get together settled on Puerto Rican cuisine at a Boston South End mainstay in Little Puerto Rico, Vejigantes- traditional masks and symbol of strength, identity, and the best of the people of Puerto Rico are displayed on the walls and in the cuisine. Our party sampled a wude selection in the menu from the simple chayote con berenjana guisada-chayote and eggplant stew, Pechuga Rellena De Chorizo Y Maduros-chorizo in chicken breast with maduro plantain, pechuga empanizada or breaded chicken, pollo frito or fried chicken, mofongo tradicional de platano. Churrasco con salsa chimichurri, to the complex mar chiquita te amo or mofongo with churrasco and shrimp and the paella marinera artisanal - the socarrat replicated grated green plantain fried to a crisp as the paella base and a lobster tail as topping. One more dish ordered but served as sn afterthought- probably forgotten until reminded was the chuleta kan-kan, strip of pork with skin deeply fried and made to stand ala can can. Needless to say dinner turned out to be a tasting event, and it lived up to expectation! Delicious and filling. Service was friendly, helpful and relatively quick. Ambiance complemented by lively latin tempos.

The restaurant are awesome! Sabor a Puerto Rico! On my first visit to Boston, Mass, in winter eat churrasco, mofongo, rice with pigeon beans and other Puertorricans plates was delicious!. They are very respectful and kind.
