Check this out! Borikén Restaurant is the place for those who miss the Puerto Rican seasoning. The people there are really cool and they treat you like family. They have a menu that is a direct trip to Puerto Rico without stops: from the mofongo with pernil to the alcapurrias and the delicious tostones. The food is scrumptious and it's always a good idea to call to reserve, because the place fills up quickly. The food and atmosphere are ?, and according to the reviews, everyone leaves with a smile. So now you know things are good. Don't miss it, my people!

Delicious Puerto Rican food. So cute inside. Definitely recommend the plato navideño with a Coco Rico drink. Their desserts are delicious especially the pastry with cream cheese and guava. They make them in house. Everything was so delicious! The waitress was friendly and the place was clean. Parking can be a little tight, but the food is worth the stop. Highly recommend!

Let me tell you this is NOT Puerto Rican food. I am a carribean girl myself and this was no where near what we eat in the carribean. I wouldn’t even classify this as Mexican food. This was probably in the top 5 of worst restaurants on my list. On top of the food being nasty, the server or owner whoever the guy was , was RUDE as ever. I took my mom here for her bday thinking it was going to be a good time but NO we were trying to enjoy our time the restaurant was empty and he was rushing us to order he literally said to us “what’s so hard about picking what you want to eat” and we haven’t even gotten our appetizers. I’ve been a server for many years and I’ve never treated any of my guests like this. My family and I were in shock when he said this to us. I will NEVER come back and will NEVER recommend this place to anyone

Qaint family run restaurant serving authentic Puerto Rican food. Friendly staff that will explain each dish if you're not familiar with the cusine. No matter what you order, try the sauces provided on the table for an extra flavor experience. If you're full after dinner, be sure to bring some dessert home for later. It is best to make reservations since there are only about 12 tables.

Cute place, very friendly service. The chicken breast with garlic and the Pina colada were great. I can't say the same about the onion beef or pastry, probably traditional the way it should be. Well served, love they serve enough rice and beans, wish a little more salad because it was taste and matched well with the dish. I would go back to try more dishes and, of course, eat the chicken again!

I normally do not make bad reviews or complaints like this one before talking to an owner or manager but calling this place a Puertorican restaurant is an insult. To star, nobody working there to include the cook have an ounce of borikua pride, why do I say that. Our food is not complicated to do but if you don't know the spices or the basics of a dish you are going to be way off. The resent reviews have to be fake. To star, there is no Carne Frita on the menu, and the waitress told me that the closest thing they had was Churrasco! Lady is not even the same animal. Since everything seem off I decided for a simple dish very hard to mess up "Chicharrones the pollo" wich by the way they do not serve it with the mofongo... When they brought the plate my friend and I looked at each other in disbelief. No Puertorrican from the island or the states would call that chicharron. They served shreds of chicken with no flavor with a pale breading. The yellow rice was mexican (a completely different flavor profile), the kind people put in buritos, also tasteless. The red beans the same. Since they refuse to make a staple dish we asked for a mofongo side. Another fail, that had half of stick of butter inside. My blood boils of anger and disappointment. Do not call this place a Puertorrican restaurant, this is false advertisement. Find a cook that knows the sazon, they don't have to be from Puerto Rico but it would help tremendously. I wish I could say something good about it, but it was the most overpriced horrible attempt of Puertorrican cusine. I know people that can do better with a 20 dollar rice cooker and a hotplate from a dorm room that what this place served me. Please change the name or find someone that can cook.

As a Caribbean transplant, I was happy to find this place. The food is authentic. The quality is excellent and the selection of Puerto Rican dishes is outstanding. It is a small space and it can fill up fast. I recommend making a reservation for larger parties. However, it is worth the wait if you happen to catch a busy time. This is not a fusion spot, it is the real deal. You will not be disappointed. They even make pasteles and have cuchifrito items on the menu! Treat yourself and stop by Boriken today. After writing this, I am definitely going to put in an order because I made myself hungry.
