Vegan Puerto Rican with California flair, mofongo cups
"A buzzy, vegan Puerto Rican outpost and offshoot of the San Francisco original, offering plant-based takes on classics—don’t miss the mofongo cups." - Erika Adams
"Chef Lourdes Marquez-Nau's vegan Puerto Rican restaurant is expanding its footprint to Philadelphia (noted as the home of the Birds), while its Saluhall location remains fully operational; the chef announced the news on Instagram." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Casa Borinqueña is another second-floor purveyor that remains entirely vegan and has already won praise for its mofongo, which was highlighted as one of the hall’s high-watermark dishes." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Run by Lourdes “Lulu” Marquez‑Nau, Preston’s mom, Casa Borinqueña is described as one of the biggest Puerto Rican restaurants in the Bay Area and is positioned to do pop-ups next to the new Malibu’s in San Rafael as part of a family collaboration." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Fan favorite Casa Borinqueña closed in the last half of 2023, though I note it is slated to reappear on Market Street." - Paolo Bicchieri
