"Chef Derick Lopez runs this Astoria-based ode to the foodways of Puerto Rico. Expect all the usual suspects: alcapurrias, sorullitos, pernil sandwiches and hearty mofongo platters. But the pasteles, which are available for nationwide shipping, play a big role in making this such a special place. For that preparation, Lopez mashes together steamed taro, pumpkin, and plantains — a blend of mildly-flavored roots that let the pork and olives stuffing shine." - Korsha Wilson
