Casa Borinqueña - Oakland

Delicious! The pastelillos, pinches, and maduros were excellent.

Can't say enough good things about Casa Borinquena. Great food and great service. Impossible items are fire!

The prices were decent for this food hall, but I was underwhelmed by the food. The pastelillo has a fantastic flaky crust that wasn't too messy, and the vegan chicken was decent. However, the filling was mostly air. The relleno was perfectly crispy on the outside and had creamy dough below that. It was generously filled with impossible meat, but there wasn't much flavor unless I ate just the meat without crust or sauce. The sauce for both seems to be thousand island dressing which made the food feel greasier and didn't help cut any fatty taste. I would prefer a mustard, veggie salsa, or creamy salsa.

Love this place, the arroz con gandules Is spot on! So happy chef Lulu has a spot here in SF . Everything they make is so delicious. We always get the sampler plate with the pinchos!

Great food! Great service ! This place is in a food haul and we got a bit confused because it was next to the Ikea. However the food is amazing and everything is vegan!
