Phoenix desperately needed traditional good Puerto Rican food.
These two came about six months ago and delivered.
And... holy cow.
I was transported right back to Quebradillas, PR a few years ago when visiting my partner's family. (she was born and raised on the island)
This is GOOD stuff. The cafe is very traditional, playing salsa music with a few little tables and some gorgeous photography from San Juan on the walls (that are for sale, if anybody is interested.)
They have coquito (unleaded, but you can bring your own rum for a charge) and other imported malt beverages. Feel free to bring your beer, your wine, your hard liquor... you will just have to pay a fee to drink them in there.
Today, my partner had the mofongo... oh... and it was excellent. :)
I had the pernil con gandules, which is pork with a certain type of pea with rice.
Those who fear spicy... you don't get that with puerto rican food. You get spices that enhance your taste experience, not spicy at all.
This is a GREAT place!
