ISLA DEL ENCANTO – Spanish
Boricua cooking done the long way round: mofongo mashed to order, pernil roasted until the skin cracks, arroz con gandules alongside, and tembleque to finish. Much of what most kitchens buy in is made here instead, pasteles, alcapurrias, pastelillos and sorullitos among them, with a butcher on staff keeping an eye on the meat. The room is easygoing, family-shaped and happy to seat a crowd. Diners keep describing the same thing: it tastes like the island, not an approximation of it.
