Serious Flavor comes to Peoria!
I am always trying to find authentic food and I was very pleased with my experience at El New Yorican. I had the Mofongo topped with shrimp. For those who may not know, Mofongo is smashed, then fried plantains with a little pork flavor. It came topped with shrimp and sizzling in a delicious broth of oil and garlic. One bite and you'll be hooked! This was better than I'd had it in old San Juan! Also try the empanada style beef. Very tasty!
El New Yorican is in the shopping center down from the Peoria Peforming Arts center. Look for the Puerto Rican flag hanging from the window.
