La Fonda Boricua

Very tasty Puerto Rican food. Friendly staff and clean environment. If you are looking for good Spanish food this is your place

I recently moved to the area and saw this place driving by and had lunch today and it’s definitely worth it. The mofongo was delicious, the chicharrón de pollo was like biting into butter, it just melts in your mouth. Better than what you can get in Washington Heights. The pernil was tender full of flavor and the portions are reminiscent of the early 2000’s. You will lot be disappointed.

Delicious food! Very friendly customer service. We went with our church friends and we all loved our meals.

I went to pick up an order, and they looked at me like I was furniture, even after I explained why I was there. Then a Spanish guy came in to pick up the same type of order, and they attended to him quickly, while saying nothing to me. I had to go up to the front to inquire about my order & another person (maybe the owner) apologized to me, but he was the 4th person that I encountered. So, I would say, the first 3 people need some training, at the very least! The type of order that I was picking up, is a quick pop in & go everywhere else, however after 20 minutes of waiting & I still ended up with no food. This was my first time to this restaurant, and this experience has made me not want to return! Thank goodness there are many Spanish restaurants in this great city!

Now under new management. Completely different people. Food is no longer the same (taste very different). Was also very shocked to see the changes made to restaurant. Found a piece of plastic and then a piece of paper in food. Staff was nice although not as friendly as the previous owners staff. Should still try for yourself and make up your own mind.
