Stopped into Plaza Borinquen for the 1st time today after work with some colleagues. We were looking forward to eat something new/delicious and were not disappointed. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING (caps because I dont say that lightly). We started with a beef & cheese empanada for each of us. Best empanada I’ve ever had hands down. I ordered the LA BORINQUENA. It had so much flavor and it had a unique taste unlike anything I can say I’m familiar with. My counterparts both ordered the CHURRASCO(Skirt Steak) that looked as good as it tasted.
Gotta give a shout out to the ladies behind the magic here. They were polite, personable and helpful on the details of each menu item. Thank you again Jessica and Jackie … I’ll definitely be back!

Was my first time here. Had the empanadas beef and they were delicious with a nice thousand island dressing with a nice twist on it. Yumm! We had a media noche sandwich which unfortunately was very salty. The shredded meat inside was very salty. Everything else on the sandwich was spot on. The bistec encebollado was good. Not crazy it was a nice simple seasoning to the meat. The black beans were delicious . I’d definitely go back and give it another shot. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Thanks

Literally better than the food I ate in Puerto Rico itself. The canoe (pictured) had soft sweet plantain, which I prefer to the crunchy unsweet variety. And the flavor of the pork, never had pork packed with that much flavor, both the Plato Tipico and the Pernil Empanada. Yummy yum! The shrimp empanada they ran out of filling and the chef made it on the spot, talk about fresh! Never had a mango frappe before, boy was that good too, with fresh mangos. Everything super fresh super tasty, cannot confirm since unfortunately haven’t tried everything on the menu (surely wish I have!) but highly doubt you could order anything bad off the menu. Best food from a restaraunt I’ve had in a long while. Probably because it felt like a family preparing from scratch rather than thawing food from a freezer.

One of the best restaurants in town!! We ordered the Carne Frita and the pulled pork plantain sandwich. They all tasted amazing!! Highly recommended. And the owner is so kind and friendly, I can already imagine being friends with her at first met. The dining environment is great and clean, very enjoying dining there. This restaurant gave us a wonderful night.

Food was excellent. We had yuca and empanadas around the table. Chuleta Frita was delicious. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection.
The service was just okay. Everyone is super friendly but we had to ask for side plates and silverware as the appetizers and entrees came out.

Since I couldn’t make it to Puerto Rico this weekend, going to Plaza Borinquen for dinner was the next best thing! I had the chicken stew with plantains and a mango fruit drink with Puerto Rican music playing in the background. The vibe and atmosphere felt authentic, the food was great, and I can’t wait to come back!
If you’re in the Antelope Valley, Lancaster or Palmdale, make sure to stop by. They’re located in the strip mall across from Home Depot in West Lancaster.
Day 2. I can’t back the next day to Tue something else because it was so good. This time I had a shrimp empanadas which was delicious. I then had the Pollo Empanizado with beans, which was delicious ! I vl can eat here every day!

I was in the area working and stopped for lunch to visit for the 1st. Jessica the owner and cook was super pleasant. I’ve had Puerto Rican food in Southern California at many places but this place by far served up the best tasting island meals with true home cooked flavors. I had the Churrasco Mofongo, Beef & Cheese Empanada and took home a Plato Tipico(arroz con gandules, pernil(slow roasted pork) Fried Plantains and steamed yucca with garlic sauce. This is must try if you’re in the area.
