Top spots for Puerto Rican food
amNew York Newspaper, By Megan Stride
June 6, 2008

With the parade happening this weekend, what better time to pig out on Puerto Rican food.

La Fonda Boricua
La Fonda Boricua is a favorite in El Barrio, and it should be for the rest of Manhattan as well. Serving classic Puerto Rican food, like pernil (roasted pork), cod fish and cotopus salads, and Puerto Rican beef stew, La Fonda Boricua attracts the fun and friendly neighbors. The restaurant has Latin Jazz Thursdays and is soon opening a bar, the FB Lounge, across the street. 169 E. 106th St. 212-410-7292

Sofrito
Eschewing the generic Latin label, Sofrito is a proudly Puerto Rican restaurant that draws in people with the same pride and heritage, as well as curious newcomers and plenty of diners already in the know. There are classic dishes like chicken and rice as well as grilled seafood and free range filet mignon, and each entree is customized with a choice of sides and sauces. 400 E. 57th St. 212-754-5999

Luz Restaurant
Luz offers a smorgasboard of Latin and South American-influenced pickings, artfully combined in dishes like red snapper passion fruit ceviche and Lechon Asado, a Puerto Rican dish of slow-roasted pork with sour orange mojo. The interior is well-designed with sleek lines and soft orange lighting, thanks to the owners' background in architecture. The design doesn't end there -- customers rave about the creative food presentation as well. 177 Vanderbilt Ave. Brooklyn 718-246-4000 (Metromix)
