11 Great Puerto Rican Restaurants In NYC
"This East Harlem institution on 116th (with a second location at 188th) is another icon. During the ’60s, owner Jose Coto Sr. came to New York City with his family from Cuba and opened the restaurant in response to the demand from newly immigrated Puerto Ricans looking for home-cooked food. In addition to the requisite mofongo and rice and beans, get the restaurant’s namesake plate, which comes equipped with pig ear, pork tongue, banana, and blood sausage." - marisel salazar, bryan kim
