Home Away From Home
This is place is the real deal. It's almost like it was pulled off a street in Old San Juan, is run by your favorite Titi and Abuelita is in the kitchen. Worth the wait, worth the price, and worth working around their hours.

What a Real Disapointment!
After reading all the reat review we dedide to rty this place. We called at 8pm on a Saturday night for a delivery. We were told it was too late . No more deliveries. We trekked over there to pick up the food our selves. we ordered the Pernil and rice and beans, some sweet plantains and the Flan for dessert. It took for ever for our order to be ready, even though the place was quite empty. When we got the food home , we were shocked by the small portion sizes, The skimped on everything, the rice, beans and the plantains. The portion of Flan was laughable. It was literally gone in two bites. The upsetting thing was that all their menu prices are higher than alot of the other similar type resteraunts rated on here in the East Village. The place was a hole in the wall. I would never have sat down to eat here. When all the food was gone, we were atill hungry. I will never get food from here again!

autenticamente boricua!
If you want great Puerto Rican food--like abuela used to make-- find an abuela to cook for you at her home. Or, you can try the next best thing and trust your appetite to Adela; you won't be disappointed. Casa Adela's tiny space offers generous portions of comfort food at very reasonable prices. The aromas emanating from the kitchen, the accompanying clatter of pots and pans and the chatter of happy eaters all join to create a sense of relaxed community. Totally unpretentious, Adela has been feeding hungry Ricans for decades and the new gentry in this changing neoghborhood seem to have developed a taste for her cooking as well.

Outstanding authentic Puerto Rican food
Price is right. Atmosphere not the fanciest but the food and price make up for it.

The best rotisserie chicken in town
Everything's pretty good here but the chicken rocks! Moist and perfectly seasoned. I've been going for years and the quality is the same. The sancocho is pretty impressive too. The pernil -- roast pork -- is moist but overspiced for my taste. This is a unfancy local PR joint. Service can be a bit slow and disorganized; sometimes suspect that the locals get served first. Don't know why they gave it $$ - its cheap.
