La Famosa

Food was very good but, the service was not. I am an African American woman and the waiter kept asking my friend and I to pay as if we were going to skip out on the bill. I didn’t appreciate that as they did not treat anyone else that way. Of course we paid but we do not need to be reminded by 2 different people that we need to pay. We even went to the restroom once and our plates were being gathered as if we left when i asked the waiter where the bathroom was. I say that to say they should’ve known where i was and not have tried to clear my table. Def go for the food but watch out for the service!

Loved the jibarito (toston steak sandwich) and the pastelillos with beef! Great food! Went twice this week all the way from Fort Washington and totally worth the drive!

The quesito pastel was absolutely delicious. I didn’t think that a pastry could tasty so creamy. I also ate the sandwich called Mata Hambre which was very well balanced with flavor and the sauce has a nice kick of spice to it. I would recommend them both

Delicious and authentic Puerto Rican food. The "bolitas de queso" sampler was devine and with a lot of cheese, but overpriced for only 4 of them.
La Famosa: recommended and definitely coming back again. ✅

Excellent food and service! I had the Fricasé de pollo and a piña colada and I have no regrets! I also tried the Quesitos and the Mallorca”! All was really good! I definitely felt I was back home in Puerto Rico! Recommended!!

Not authentic, more inspirational about the Puerto Rican food. Mofongo taste like a mangú. Pork belly is not carne frita, is more pork skin with fat, no meat in it.

I would add that was meh, but not what was expected.

First off, the food here is great. The service was OK at best and management unprofessional.

The restaurant uses some app to order and pay for your food, and it seems as though nobody has had much training on it, and therefore, they can not even help their customers navigate and understand it. The app sounds like a creative idea to run business, but it was a nightmare for us. Multiple times, it reordered drinks on its own while our phones were face down and sent food to our table we never ordered, again while our phones were all face down.

When brought to management's attention, instead of taking a look into the issue, he rudely shut it down, claimed that the app works, doesn't lie and if its coming to our table then we ordered it. Also, to tell the folks at my table to watch what their fingers click on. We were not asking to take anything off our bill. After all, we were there to have a good time and, at that point, had already spent over $300 here. We just wanted the issue looked into.

Because of the malfunctioning app and random items ordered without our doing we just decided to checkout before my friend working on his 1st guava smash ended up with a 4th before he could finish the 1st he ordered and other 2nd and 3rd that nobody ordered. At checkout was the same issue. the app wouldn't let us pay out, wouldn't let us separate the checks even though we were told it would. In the end, we had to again ask for management, who seemed inconvenienced by his app not working for us to help so we could pay.

May be ok for a couple, but be cautious if you go in a group when ordering with this app.

Again, the food was great. No complaints about that.

Average at best. I wanted to like this place because it’s the closest I found to an authentic puerto rican meal, but it’s just not executed well. The idea is there and it’s not horribly bad, it’s just not good. Plus, wayyy to expensive.

So delicious 😋 omg. I never ate so delicious before than here. This is a great place to eat. Good food and excellent too.thank you very much 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Love the food and pastries! The owner makes us feel like we’re in Puerto Rico. Se lo recomiendo!
