Puerto Rican cuisine is an ultimate comfort food if you ask us.

The mix of sweet and savory flavors, the aromatic sofrito base and a stick-to-your-bones cooking style make this cuisine a satisfying choice any time of year. Yes – that means Puerto Rican food flies in any weather.

From pastelillos, maduros, and tostones to mofongo, pernil, arroz con pollo, and good old rice and beans, you’ll find loads of traditional Puerto Rican dishes at these Buffalo & WNY restaurants – packed with flavor and cooked with love.
