We (Boulder Chamber ambassador team) LOVED our experience with Rae's and Kay's Authentic Puerto Rican and Soul Food. Isha was very responsive and helped us to select a perfect menu for catering an event. Her delivery was on-time and very friendly! The food was AMAZING all home and handmade! The most popular were the Puerto Rican Pastelillos and the Alcapurrias (both beef and vegetarian)! YUM! YUM! YUM!Dietary restrictions: Dairy Free, Vegan and Gluten Free options.

Absolutely fantastic food! Friendly service with an infectious smile too. Best fried chicken I've had in ages, rellenos de papas were great as well but the rice and beans are next level delicious.

Absolutely incredible. Best soul food in Colorado.

Very disappointed in the food I received. Ribs (2 came with order) were dry and burnt. Arroz con grandules were overcooked/crunchy. Corn bread was stale. Pastelitos looked as they were fried in old grease however, the filling had great flavor. I went at 7pm on Sunday after calling and unsure if that was the error or maybe it was just an off night based off other reviews. Unfortunately my experience won’t bring me back however the customer service was welcoming which is for the second star. Overall the food just wasn’t my cup of tea however she was very polite.

The restaurant is at 5460 Conestoga Ct, not what is listed above! Best soul food in boulder without a doubt. I will be back!

Super friendly owner! Everything I've ate was good and fresh! Good portion size. It's inside the Uhl's brewery so wash it down with a beer too ? ?

DON’T EAT HERE!This place is a disgrace for the Puerto Rican food. The rice was more red than an apple and it was rice with olives practically, I found like 7 in probably just one cup. The fried chicken was dry and too salty like you were eating a chunk of salt. The “mofongo” was just a small ball of mashed sweet plantains with garlic and chunks of unchewable and gummy pieces of chicharrón. The sweet plantains had cinnamon… which I truly don’t know who the hell told them that it was okay to do that, it was dreadful. The cornbread didn’t taste like anything. The mac n’ cheese was too creamy/dry, didn’t taste like homemade at all. And for the last the only drinks they have is sparkling water. I won’t give any stars to this place if I could. This place deserves to close.

They had great service. The chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly, juicy on the inside with a nice crispy skin. The Mac and cheese is really good. The collard greens could use a bit more salt and spices but I can’t complain they were still pretty good, they were cooked well nice and tender with a cook meat ratio. I loved that you pay pretty fast because I hate waiting to get someone’s attention to pay the bill. Also if I have any advice for this business I would say they should invest into some professional photos for their menu because it looked way better in person. Also it’s connected to a bar that only sells alcohol so if you don’t drink alcohol make sure you bring some sodas

This is the best fried chicken I've had in a long time. I meant to take pictures but I ate it before I could do that. Also loving the beps, mac and cheese, pastelillos and sweet potato rellenos de papa. And the wings

NOT authentic Puerto Rican food and the food is not good. The rice and beans had 20 olives and 4 red beans. The rice was undercooked. The corn bread was dry and missing ingredients. I could not eat it. The pork was dry and overcooked. The sweet plantanos were over cooked and unrecognizable. I was so hopeful for Kay and Rae but they need some significant adjustments in flavor and presentation.

Peter Rodrigues

SO excited to find this kind of food near me! And even more excited that it's as good as I'd hoped. I grew up with a lot of similar food, so my standards for it are high! Everything I've had here so far has been great
