One of my overall favorite places to go to. I have been coming here for quite some time and the food is always been excellent the service outstanding bathrooms nice and clean. There is usually no wait I recommend trying just a little bit of everything at different times breakfast lunch and dinner they also deliver and are great people over. Please let them know Chef Eddie Stop Vine and please don't forget the tip.

I had pernil and yucca w some alacapurias. The food is good but I've had better pork shoulder from other places also felt the same about the alacapurias. They were yellow not the dark brown kind which I like more. The yucca was nice and soft tho. And the staff was nice aswell.

Recommended by Here.Be.Barr, on YouTube. My first time having Puerto Rican food. I ate the chicken cuchifrito and it was so delicious! The staff was friendly.

Chicharron here is bland, dry, skin is gummy and hard - meat is never tender! Needs some new hands on that dish…

There was a rat exterminator there. They had eat problems for YEARS !! I remember seeing a rat crawl over the food, I go in with my daughter years later and they have the same problem. I don’t know how they have grade A it needs to be checked by the board !! Asap

El Chevere Cuchifrito is a small Spanish eatery in East Harlem, serving up meat over rice platters and a variety of fried foods. it’s a small space with stools at a counter—no tables inside but they do have tables outside rn. the space is pretty clean. the hot prepared foods are on display through a glass display. didn’t see any menus so basically you need to ask how much everything is. there’s a $5 minimum on debit/credit.
stopped here and wanted some quick bites to go. got some bacalitos and papas rellenas. was totally satisfied as those fried eats hit the spot. the fried codfish was season well and the batter was crispy and yet soft on the inside. the papas rellenas was really good—fried potato ball stuffed with tasty season ground beef. perfect amount of food when you get those afternoon hunger pangs. the papas rellenas and bacalitos were ~ $2 each + tip.
service is fine

Everything was super dry and tasted kind of old. I can't explain it. I ordered roast chicken and that was dry, I ordered Tre leche cake and that was dry but just wet on the bottom from the milk and even my rice was dry. What does this mean? It means that the food was kept too long and the shelf life was over for it. Disappointed.

VERY BAD SERVICE! Rats all over and they charge me 11! For a chicharrón that was worth 7$! A very dirty place to go eat!

I’m reviewing the bakery shop next door to the restaurant. I walk by all the time and it’s always busy, often with police officers congregating (in a good way, eating and chatting, feels like a nice presence!). Thursday night we went in to pick up a cake to bring to work in celebration of the upcoming Easter holiday. The choices were vast. We ended up with two big Tres Leches cakes, thanks to the help of the sweet women who worked there and two cops who weighed in on our choices while assuring us we couldn’t go wrong. The cakes did not disappoint, nor did the single serving of the pineapple cake we took home for personal consumption!
Friendly staff, lots of selection, reasonable prices, delicious cakes = great bakery.
