| - I don't know if I'm at an advantage or a disadvantage for being from NY but I know I would have enjoyed the food from Millie's even more if I wasn't from NY and hadn't eaten Puerto Rican food a thousand times. Nonetheless Millie's provides good tasting food at a reasonable price is pretty much the only Puerto Rican restaurant relatively close to me in Arizona.
I ordered my lunch to go based off of the menu on Facebook intending to pick it up on my fifteen minute break since I run errands during my lunch. I ordered the rice w/ pigeon peas and baked chicken along with an order of tostones and was told it would be ready in ten. I gave them a little over fifteen minutes before I went to pick it up and when I got there, there was only one man behind the counter and you could tell he was overwhelmed. They had only opened maybe forty minutes ago and had a good amount of people sitting inside and after I arrived, two or three other couples showed up and formed a line behind me. I was waiting for a little bit, maybe eight minutes, while the host tended to the phones which wouldn't have been a problem except I only had 15 minutes on my break. I was getting a little anxious but Millie's is so close to my job that I made it back in time.
The food was really good but not great. Everyone in the reviews is raving about the garlic sauce but I could have definitely gone without it, it was very oily. The mayo/ketchup sauce for the tostones was great but I eat that combination with pretty much everything already. The tostones weren't oily or overly salted, which I really appreciated. The chicken, two large drumsticks, was cooked to perfection: tender and really flavorful. The downfall, I think, was the rice and beans. It was as if two different batches of rice and beans were combined to make my plate. Some beans were cooked well and some were overcooked and dry. Seriously, they were like little black dehydrated circles. I gave my fiancé the rest of my food and tried to pick those out before I gave them to him because she's so picky when it comes to trying new food (he isn't from NY) and I didn't want to give him burnt beans as his first taste of PR food! Other than that, I enjoyed my meal. I mistakenly poured the garlic sauce on my rice and regretted it later because all that oil did not sit well with my stomach so now I know for next time to just skip it.
