Puerto Rican restaurant · East Harlem

@infatuation

"Hit up the Langston Hughes House on 127th Street, then grab lunch at this tiny counter that’s been around for over 30 years. Beneath the neon sign that spells its name with an upside-down pig, you’ll spot roast pork, sausage, and cuchifrito hanging in the window. Inside, you’ll find all the straightforward Puerto Rican classics: stewed bacalao, rellenos de papa, pollo rostizado, pastelillos, and morcilla. Our go-tos here are the roast chicken and lechón with crackly skin." - neha talreja, sonal shah, hannah albertine
