This Small Massachusetts Restaurant Is A Must-Visit For Lovers Of Authentic Puerto Rican Food

Tostones here get smashed flat and fried twice until golden. That’s two trips through the fryer for one plantain, and I have to admit, that sounds like dedication. The menu doesn’t stop there. Slow-roasted pernil, garlicky mofongo, and crunchy alcapurrias all share space with a bakery case of sweet treats.
