La Fonda - New York
Francis Ramos We were there today to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday over brunch. The pernil boraccho was great. I like that the rice had a fried egg on top. I ate all of it. James the owner was super friendly and gave us a brief history of him, his family, and the restaurant. He let us try his version of coquito since my SIL makes and distributes her own coquito. We loved it. He offered us and some other tables Puerto Rican pitorro (moonshine) which was too strong for me, but my brother liked it a lot. To be balanced, my only major criticism was that the maduros were just simply fried it seems, I like my maduros a little sweeter and softer so I typically make them with a little brown sugar but to each their own. For cocktails, the Huracan was delicious. Didn’t get a chance to try La Puñeta but my bro liked it. In summary, I left with a full and bloated stomach.
