Description

Find all the charms of a shabby Puerto Rican lunch counter: wobbly stools, linoleum counters, a chatty crowd, no-nonsense counter ladies and their nonchalant way of hacking at the roast pork shoulder for a plate of pernil. The menu offers hearty standbys such as mofongo, arroz con pollo, and orange-tinged chicken stew. Most daytime customers order from the steam counter, where a very good rendition of mondongo -- a vegetable-heavy tripe stew is often available. Pernil is rich and as pork-fatty as it ought to be, and everything's served with soupy stewed beans and yellow rice with pigeon peas.
