“ Amazing hidden gem here locally. The food is delicious with good portions at a competitive price. Not many Puerto Rican spots around the city so we're lucky to have one as good as this close by. The staff are also extremely friendly! ”
“ I’d suggest going here. The food is delicious and as someone who has lived in Puerto Rico growing up, this place is the closest you will likely get to Puerto Rico here in Pittsburgh. Note: there is no seating. So you pick up and go. The owners are also really nice. It’s a husband (American)/wife (Puerto Rican) team. ”
“ I had an amazing experience at Flavor of Puerto Rico! The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic Puerto Rican flavors. The rice and beans were perfectly seasoned, the zucchini was fresh and flavorful, and everything was cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, and the presentation was excellent. Beyond the food, the service was top-notch! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was just right. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a satisfying meal. If you’re looking for a true taste of Puerto Rico, this is the place to be! Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Thank you for the fantastic meal! ”
“ Me and my husband went on 5/17/2025 and the food tasted great! We recently moved to Pittsburgh from PR and it was very close to the last meal we had back home. The rice had great texture and seasoning and the pernil too. The tostones with mayo ketchup definitely hit the spot. I would 100% recommend. ”
“ So, I got alladis for 11! They didn't even hold me on the plantains...I got like 50/11 plantains for 2! The chicken was so juicy and seasoned like fuuhhh. I'm not finna lie, the rice was a smidge too salty for me, but I buried it in hot sauce anyways. Lol It is good, but a girl is trying to watch her salt. They do give healthy portions of rice too and made sure to pour some of the juice over it; I loved that. The empanadas are fire too. The customer service I received here was amazing, and this establishment is truly COVID-19 safe! I love that they're going the extra mile to keep themselves and their customers safe. These are great people. All in all, the food is fresh, the service is great, and the flavors are right. It's a family business, so I hope it gets tons of support! ”
“ I’m a Boricua that moved to Pittsburgh from another state and I finally found a legitimate Puerto Rican food spot!!!!!!! This restaurant had awesome owners, amazing food and the vibe was set with that Salsa music that reminded me of my parents showing off their fire dance moves at the Salsa club. There is no other spot like this in Pittsburgh!!!!! Go in and grab yourself a delicious plate! Just another Jose ”
“ From the moment I stepped through the door, I could feel the warmth and love that the owners poured into every aspect of their establishment. Huge dinning area with multiple compartments. There was a separated hall that can easily accommodate big private events. The food was flavorful, but what truly set this restaurant apart was the sense of family and community that emanated from every corner. We tried the beef empanadas, the chicken stew was good ( a bit salty for my taste) and the tres leche was moist and creamy. Cheap prices as well! ”
“ The BEST empanadas, amazing vegan and vegetarian options. Arroz con gandules were amazing, make sure to try the arroz con leche for dessert. ”
