This is no longer called Cafe Borinquen. It is now Borin Cuba, a newly opened Cuban and Puerto Rican restaurant. My only regret is that I did not photograph the Crea La Mofongo. The Shrimp Mofongo was excellent and its presentation beautiful. It was served with a choice of two sides. I had the Tostones and the Pigeon Pea Rice. My husband selected the Red Beans and White Rice. The portions were large and hot, fresh bread was served while we waited for our entrees. We topped it off with Flan de Coco and Tembleque desserts. Everything was excellent. The owner and wait staff welcomed us and checked on us several times during our meal. On a scale of one to five stars, they exceeded every standard and in my opinion deserved ten stars. We will definitely return!
I was in FT Lauderdale for 2 days and wanted Puerto Rican Dinner as that is what I’m used to eating at home. I went to Empanada Loca day one and it was great. I went to Cafe Borinquen the 2nd day. I was shocked at the cost per plate. $17. I figured the food and service must make up for the cost. Service was Sub-par. We spoke both English and Spanish to our waiter and he still managed to comprehend. Never have us our Malta we asked for and the plates are small. The food was not bad. But it wasn’t great. My Yellow rice was over cooked and my wife’s white rice was under cooked. The beans were packed with flavor but were watery. The pork chops had a good flavor but not packed with flavor like they should be. All in all it filled my craving but I would have rather went to the restaurant I went to the first day but it was closed.
