    Best hole in the wall restaurant

    If your looking for Puerto Rican food this is it. Great food , good portions and very reasonably priced. There aren’t to many restaurants left in the city that serve Latin food so don’t hesitate.

    best chicken with rice and beans

    Simply the best rice and beans place I've been to in Manhattan. Nothing fancy, just a half a chicken (very tasty and moist) and a good helping of rice and beans. Friendly staff.
