Description
The original Borinquen (it's one of three) is also the busiest. Local Puerto Ricans and Rican food lovers alike populate this authentic spot from the time the first café con leche is slurped down to the minute the last jibarito sandwich (steak between crispy pounded plantains) is consumed. Juicy onion-flecked steak, garlic-smothered plantains, crispy empanadas, yellow rice with pigeon peas and seafood salads are found on most tables in the dining room. The smooth flan is ripe for seconds, and a walk-up counter does a brisk take-out business if you're on the go.
Hours
Lunch, dinner.
