"Spanish Harlem is one of the Puerto Rican epicenters of New York, and La Fonda Boricua has been one of its most recognizable restaurants for the past 25 years. Start with the tail-on shrimp mofongo, which comes with plátanos in garlicky salsa de ajo or salsa tomate, and try the chuleta kan kan too. It’s a bone-in loin chop, with a bit of the belly and skin still attached, roasted and finished in a deep fryer. This place is also a destination for live Latin jazz bands and flamenco dancers." - marisel salazar, bryan kim
