Very large portions! Wide variety of Puerto Rican food and non alcoholic drinks. If in the area , this is a definite must stop for authentic Puerto Rican food.

The first time I went here I was not treated very well. I assumed the server maybe was just having a bad day. The food was great! I went back, the server was pleasant, the food was still very good. I’ve gone back now quite a few times, the food is always amazing, the servers are quite kind.
I would HIGHLY recommend this little place. The food is amazing!

Met the owner, she served me herself. Food was fresh and hot. I tried the Potato Balls and the Alcapurrias. I also had the chicken soup with a side of white rice. Everything was absolutely perfect and very delicious

Honestly, my fiancé and I finally decided to eat here—we’re always driving by but never stopping! Today we finally went in, and we don’t regret it at all. The employees are friendly, and the hospitality is amazing. They can be generous if you’re generous with them! The food is A1—the alcapurria was so delicious, the rice was amazing, and the bistec was honestly the best part of the meal!

I love this restaurant. This is a photo of the food I had for take out. They had Guatemalan food yesterday, but I love their regular menu too. My favorites are the sandwiches, beef stew, potato balls and freshly made juices. I do not eat pork so I always ask if there is any in what I order, and there are always good options for me.
The staff is very friendly and always go out of the way to make you happy. It is also very clean, which is very very important to me.

This food is made with love. Everything was perfect. Pernil was really delicious. Empanadas were tasty. Homemade desserts and homemade punches made for you to go! I will be back. Thank you!

This spot will definitely be added to my list of places to eat when in the area. I miss enjoying authentic Puerto Rican food. It’s not offered where I currently live in NC. The alcuparrias were so meaty and delicious. I may need to come by again before I leave for more.

Run, don’t walk, to this new restaurant serving PHENOMENAL Puerto Rican food.
El Chinchorro Boricua
I ordered a small meal of yellow rice (arros) with gandules, beans & Pollo guiseau (stewed chicken) & a potato ball (additional cost) Each component is packed with flavor!!! The potato ball is crunchy on the outside & silky smooth potato inside with flavorful beef.
All of this for $11 & change
The restaurant was mobbed!! So happy for them!
☆☆☆☆☆ADDING ON review for 2nd visit: I went again!!!☆☆☆☆☆
I couldn’t resist another visit so soon to El Chinchorro Boricua
Today’s lunch/dinner is pernil, yellow rice with gandules, beans, yuca (THE BEST I’VE EVER HAD) & passion fruit juice- delicious!!!
The yuca came in a seperate container & was an additional cost. My picture makes it look like it came with my meal. There was much more to enjoy as a serving meal with my other leftovers.
I thought the drink was pricey at $4.50 UNTIL I tasted it!! Holy smokes. What an absolute treat. I’d pay more for it, it’s THAT good. (Plus the pouch it comes in is reusable) GET THE PASSION FRUIT JUICE!!!
Everything looked so good.
Great energy in the restaurant.
I started talking with the woman next to me in line & we chit chatted as we walked through & place our orders. All of a sudden, she looked up and gasped… the ceiling “tiles” are the metal roof material that is very popular in Puerto Rico. She shared a little memory with me from when she was a young girl. Her bedroom ceiling was made of the same metal…it was an absolute delight to hear the rain hitting it, but mid days, bc of the heat, it wasn’t appreciated..at all. ☀
It was really neat to go back in time with her to the beautiful Isla del Encanto for a brief moment. Super special!!!!! That is one of the gifts when you share a smile & a hello with a stranger…
We cashed out & told eachother to enjoy lunch & went on our seperate ways.
❤️
Love it!!! Love Holyoke.

Will not be going back, I walk in, there is a couple in front of me. The server was putting their order together at a very slow pace and it’s lunch time. I’m waiting and waiting, people are lining up behind me. After 15 mins another server comes up and puts my order together. Instead of her ringing me up because the first server is still putting the couples order together. I must wait in line till the first server is done. So bam she is done, rings them up gives them their bags of food. I’m like okay my turn, NOPE she tells me to wait as she goes and makes another plate of food. I’m waiting again, finally she gets to me. Rings up my food and it’s $41.00 and some change. As you see from my picture, does it look like I have over $41 worth of food? A meal like this I share with my boyfriend, I never eat the whole thing. Any who the food was wicked salty, but it was juicy. Also Spanish restaurants are known for giving you a TON of rice, they server gave me like two scoops and closed the carton, I asked will you kindly put more rice in the container. Also the next day myself, boyfriend and dog had such upset stomachs, we could not stay out of the restroom and my dog went to bathroom on himself while I was work.
I will never go back here.
