Flavor of Puerto Rico

This review really pains me. I ALWAYS hope that Latino restaurants are ALWAYS on the WINNING side of things. I NEVER EVER post retaliatory reviews. I’M NOT THAT GUY, however, I will be brutally honest and sometimes, it’s really disheartening to do so but, here we go. The outside building and the menu on the window looked promising. Even inside, the artwork was nice and Puerto Rican-ish. Then, I encountered a couple of really nice guys that didn’t speak Spanish, at least they didn’t to me even though I spoke to them in Spanish. Again, they were absolutely great and I have nothing further to say about that. The food, that’s a whole different animal. As a Puerto Rican, who’s in Puerto Rico as I write this review, the food was the absolute worst I have ever had. I took a spoonful of t

I am so pleased with the food and service! Upon arriving we where greeted with smiles and cheer. The decor was warm and clean. Ms. Nicki treated my baby like her own. She was friendly and attentive. The chef even came out to converse with us which I loved. We ordered numerous items off the menu and it was all delicious and flavorful! The portions were more than adequate and the pricing was beyond affordable! We ordered 2 different entrees, 6 empanadas, 2 extra sides and 2 drinks and a meal to go and our bill was barely 60$. We did travel 45 minutes to try this spot and it was worth it! 100% we will be coming back!

I was very excited about this restaurant as it is a small minority business in Pittsburgh I wanted to support. The Chef was busy on the phone most of the time and i think he just reheated leftovers and served us that instead of cooking a fresh meal. The restaurant itself has some cool puerto rican island vibes with colorful and boriqua themed decorations. The negative reviews on the empanadas are accurate, burnt and dry filling. I hope the owners are genuine about improving the quality of food because the place has potential. I honestly felt i was served food that was 1-2+ days old. The touch pad used for transactions/ordering menu was efficient; nice modern touch. Hopefully future customers will experience it on better days!

I've been wanting to try Puerto Rican cuisine for a while now, and there aren't too many options in Pittsburgh. When I saw Flavor of Puerto Rico was offering a $6 discount on an online ordering app, I was definitely interested. Tonight, I ordered the baked chicken sandwich, sweet plantains (maduros), a beef and cheese empanada, as well as a slice of tres leches. It was a lovely meal at a great price. The sandwich was simple, but very good. Their chicken is roasted perfectly, and incredibly tender. They give you a pretty good portion for the price, too. Pan de agua, or water bread, is homemade and soaks up the chicken juices. It's great! There's also a bit of cheese in this sandwich, which was a nice touch. This was my first time trying maduros, so I wasn't too sure what to expect other t

Amazing hidden gem here locally. The food is delicious with good portions at a competitive price. Not many Puerto Rican spots around the city so we're lucky to have one as good as this close by. The staff are also extremely friendly!
