This California Puerto Rican Restaurant Has Been Serving Flavorful Island Comfort Food For Over Two Decades

Green plantains hold down the napkin stacks here. Not plastic decorations, actual plantains doing a desk job. I love a restaurant with that kind of sense of humor. The building outside is just as bold. It’s painted a bright green that once drew some snarky letters from neighbors. Today...
