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.

Puerto Rican Flavor Meets Pizza At This Massachusetts Restaurant And It’s Quite A Combination

Bacon pizza on one side of the counter and tostones with chicharrones on the other is exactly the kind of menu combination that makes me stop and look twice. This Massachusetts spot leans into Puerto Rican comfort food with frituras, pernil, empanadas, and sancocho, while still keeping a full pizza menu in the mix. I like that it does not seem interested in choosing just one identity.
