Anthony K ✌️: Surprisingly awesome red snapper with garlic sauce and yellow rice. I'd definitely come back for it.
ドーラ: Carne asada: a big slice of lean steak grilled to perfection, with yummylicious barbecue sauce and sauteed onions and jalapenos on the side, served over yellow rice and with a bowl of chili soup.
Josue Soto: Good food can't go wrong with 3 Golpes

Kimmie Ohh: Papas rellenas are great! Get the stuffed platanos too! You must also order the chicken with yellow rice & beans. Get the chicharron mofongo with extra sauce & garlic sauce!
Sophie Omnom: Authentic Latin-American food! Delicious!!
Village Voice: Bringing Puerto Rico to East Harlem with their piles of fritters, meat stuffed potatoes and plantains.The most impressive is the " jibaro en canoa, a plantain canoe stuffed with a bevy of meat."

Doug S: baked clams, puttanesca, lemon pepper chicken, coffee ice cream. boom!
Daniel M.: So you can't get a table? Stop in and have a drink at the bar. Who knows, you might just run into Robert DeNiro or Woody Allen!
Bravo: If you are lucky enough to know someone to get in to Rao's, go. The meatballs and sauce are worth the trip. Try the steak pizzaiola. If you can’t get in, buy their cookbook! -Jill Zarin, Real Housewiv
