Cocina Borinquena - Sayreville

First when to this place when it opened up several times -food was ok. Gave it another chance tonight and just not good. The tostones tasted old, drenched in oil. Alcapurrias also drenched in oil just no taste/flavor.

This place gives you a ton of food and for a decent price. I got it delivered and they marked every container which was well received. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the fresh taste as in the restaurant due to the delivery circumstances. I would have had the mofongo if I ate at the restaurant. Nonetheless, the rice was dry on the top due to delivery but the bottom of the rice was good (not great). Likewise, the pernil was plentiful but lacked flavor in my opinion. The chicken was dry as well. The carne guisada was actually pretty good once the smell of cigarettes went away (that most likely was caused by the delivery driver). The empanadas were okay and the tostones were my favorite part of the meal. In summary, I would try this place again but I would go to the restaurant. From my first experience, it was quantity over quality.

Food is delicious and flavorful, I am picky with my Pernil but this place does it right. The young boy and girl who often work the front are so generous and I’ve seen them first hand go out of their way to make customers comfortable and happy while they wait. I even saw the young boy run and hold the door open for an older man. Made my night! 5 stars

The food was fantastic—hot and packed with flavor. It was wonderfully moist, and I will certainly be ordering from this place again!
