El Borincano Restaurant

Okay, what's the hipe. Small restaurant. Plain decore with tight 3 - 4 table seating. The menu is the hype! Different exotic choices to chose from. I wanted to try them all. LolI did go during dinner time, and the dishes are of average prices. The service was fine.I ordered "Chuleta" the pork was tasty comes,with side salad and rice. The "Conch salad" was yummy and big portions. I would definitely come back and try there other exotic dishes.

Ever had a place so good and so tiny you didn't want to write the review for fear that the place would explode with business and you wouldn't be able to get a place to sit anymore? Well that's El Borinacano! This place was delicious and super affordable. We had the chicharron de pollo and a couple of empanadas. It was delicious, filling and cheap. Make sure you try the homemade hot sauce. It is wonderfully fresh and adds a nice kick. The service was excellent and everyone in the joint was smiling. Now if YOU go.... Get your food to go so I can still get a table.

1st time here and I'm so glad I tried it. They only have 2-3 tables so it's more of a takeout place. We ordered the fried pork with white rice n bean with fried sweet plantains. We also ordered the shaved beef plate with white beans n rice and plantains. The beans were deliciously flavored.The empanadas were so tasty and made fresh, ordered one beef one chicken. They came with a cream sauce but I asked for the red spicy sauce as well. Pro tip: order ahead as they get busy.

Whaat? Consistency is key and this restaurant definitely consistently serves absolutely amazingly seasoned food! Service is very friendly and personal. Ambiance is very cozy, typical hidden gem in the neighborhood.Third time here in 3 weeks - this time I ordered the conch salad served with tostones (last time they ran out of tostones). My son ordered the beef and cheese empanada and beef with rice and beans sides. There were a couple of Puerto Rican military guys snd a family of 4, and tons of door dash orders being picked up - now you know that's indication of authentic cuisine! Highly recommended, there's plenty to try!

The food is delisioso authentic you can smell the PR flavored...always clean and well manner Is a small place But the food is worth the trip I truly recommend any one That's visiting VA buen probecho

I'm obsessed with mofongo so I looked for a Puerto Rican spot for my birthday dinner. The whole fried red snapper photo made me drool a lil bit so I decided to check it out. Very small space with a few tables. Looks like a local spot in PR. Felt bad for coming 45 min prior to closing but the young lady greeted us with kindness. Fried cheese was fire!! Didn't even need a dipping sauce. I prefer my mofongo a lil crispy on the outside but I don't think I've ever had bad mofongo. Beef was tender and juicy like it had been stewing all day soakin up the flavors. Will definitely visit again!

We were in town from Richmond for a shopping trip and decided to stop here for dinner. Food was very authentic, flavorful, and delicious. Small place, three small tables and had to wait about fifteen minutes but the wait was worth it. The Alcapurrias had a very thin masa but enough to have a good amount of meat. My daughter had the mofongo, I had the Pernil and my husband had the chicharron de pollo, again very delicious. If in town definitely check it out.

We ordered the Cubano and Pastrami Sandwiches , A side of Maduros , Sorullo De Queso and a Malta Malteada . The food was amazing and reminded me of home. Everything was hot and freshly cooked and made, the fries that came with my food were so crispy and tasted really good. Lastly the Malteada was so good I didn't even get a chance to take a picture of it because I couldn't put it down. Overall amazing place to eat, lady that attended us was super nice and helpful, the place was clean and had some good music playing, highly recommended!

I have been to a few Puerto Rican restaurants in the Virginia Beach and Norfolk areas of Virginia and by far this place has been 2/2 thus far. You would never think this little "hole in the wall" spot would have such delicious food. I had a "pollo guisado" which is basically stew chicken and was surely pleased by the warmth and flavor the food had. Jose is the hostess and he is super chiLLax and EMario is the chef who was also very humble. The food was plated nicely and had everything you would expect in a plate of "pollo guisado" with lettuce , tomatoes, white rice and red beans . I felt as though my Grandmother had cooked it and plated it for me (I'm sure she was happy to see me eating this amazing food from Heaven where she lives (God rest her soul).

Was expecting mid PRfood but omg QUE RICO!!! La comida cocinada perfecta, con sabor real a comida Boricua
