Wow, what a awesome spot. Definitely a neighborhood classic, most seem like regulars. Menu is mostly in Spanish, so definitely do a bit of research before coming, or (like us) just ask the super friendly staff. There's plenty of seating, including some counter seating. We got the mofongo, and this was one of the best things I've ever had. Never had Puerto Rican food before, but the mixture of dense plantains was so flavorful, and somehow not dry despite it looking otherwise. Alongside the plate of chicharron we got, and wonderful combo. The chicharron was unbelievably crunchy, super juicy, not overally fatty, and the flavor was on point. The cassava it came with was also cooked really well, but we honestly had enough carby food on the table. Prices are elite, and you get a boatload of food (we had probably half the mofongo leftover for 2 people). Definitely make your way here, you won't regret it!

Food, always fresh always super flavorful seasoned to perfection. Coconut juice super fresh taste like you're on the island of Puerto Rico. They serve everything white rice, red beans or arroz con gandulees which is yellow rice and pigeon peas. Pernil which is pork shoulder, capullas relleno de papas morcilla jugo de coco llenitos plátano maduro. The food options are endless. It's so freaking good. The great thing about it is they take debit card and credit card for payment along with cash. VERY FLAVORFUL!!!!

Always really great food and really great service. Lines get long but move fast. Customer service is top tier. This has been a staple to the hood forever! I still love them like I did when I was a child. Fresh selections and great prices. If you haven't tried you must try it!

Busy busy busy Rushed service Know what you want and check the order before you leave. Have some understanding of Bronx style Latin dialects as this will speed up your service. Prices are excellent and food is better then most Cuchifritos. Morcilla is my go to!! You can sit and enjoy a true Bronx experience here or sit in your car double parked like I do taking pictures of whoever grabs my attention Enjoy Pastele are also excellent

Lived in the Bronx years ago and love this place near Fordham Road. They have the best take out Puerto Rican Food in the area.I think Ive tried nearly every dish and never had a meal that I didnt like and that wasnt delicious. The food does have alot of calories but well worth the occassional treat for the great food they make. Always visit this place when ever I visit the Fordham Road/188th St area usually during the holidays. Highly reccommend to all.

When you say mofongo, I say "Go to the Bronx". That's the only way you're going to get this Puerto Rican classic dish. And the tricky thing about mofongo is you have to eat it right away after pouring the gravy on it, otherwise it's just mushy goop. But enough food facts storytelling. Growing up in the Bronx, I was blessed with the opportunity to have authentic affordable Spanish food: Dominican, Puerto Rican, El Salvador, Columbian and Mexican. This place is your typical neighborhood diner when growing up in the Fordham Bronx area. I would come here after school and get my yuccas, sweet banana plantains and rice and beans combo. The restaurant is in fact small with their stools at the counter dining style. But their takeout service is quick and right to the point. Food is amazing and no other neighborhood in New York City offers Puerto Rican cuisine like here. A must pit stop if you ever visit the Bronx Botanical Gardens.

The ladies here are so boss and sweet as my gal indulged my half slapped together Spanish. She told me I might as well order the cuchifritos plate since I wanted all the parts of the pig head and I said perfect. Also alcapurria and morcilla. And the morir sonando- which she spent 10 minutes in the back making. Authentic stewed and fried animal parts topped with picked red onions. A bit heavy on the ear and pliable chewy textures (even for me!) but all in all such a cool Experience to be had again. It's all locals here.
