Borinquen Foods — Restaurant in Columbus

El mejor lugar boricua para comer !!!! En serio nada mas es mejor !! Love this place ! Hands down best small & simple authentic Puerto Rican food Columbus has to offer ! I say authentic because iv been to a few other places & nothing compares to the home feel & home taste of the food here , NOTHING ! Unless of course your in Puerto Rico or NYC ! I am from Puerto Rico and I also cook every Puerto Rican dish , but when I get lazy and need a break , this is my go to when I don’t feel like cooking ! The Owners.are a super friendly & nice married couple from Peru , they took over after the previous owners ( boricuas) retired , they kept everything the same even the cook down to the family who makes the pastels for them every year ! They are very giving & always willing to help - best customer service ! They make you feel so welcomed !

The restaurant is old and outdated but clean , looks like your typical restaurants you would find in nyc on the other side is a small grocery section to buy Caribbean specialty from Dominican coffee to Columbian candies or brands - They even sell favorite florecitas cookies , a boricua favorite ! My kids love them lol ! It is conveniently located near post to , so a quick drive for a home visiting or living here at benning ! i love you can serve your own food / portions - made fresh daily & the menu each day changes To give you variety to try all the best authentic dishes Puerto Rico has to offer ! It’s like being home with my abuela ! Mofongo on Thursdays , sancocho on tue - even sorrullos fresh to order ! Please please !!!! Support this small business So they can continue to serve us for many years to come !!!! I need this place to be Around always so I will always have a piece of home...

Where to star First the food was no hot . ,Was warmed in the microwave , everything was horrible. This food my be good for a guy from the army that has been in the jungle for a month My meet was so dry and smell like the oil was really old and not fresh at all I was hungry at arrival but after the first bite of my meet I knew this was going to be bad I don't like to write bad reviews I understand is hard to keep a business running But as a paying customer my food was not free Just want to warm anyone about this place How you can call a place borinquen food when you are not from borinquen? That's the impression I got One last thing 60 dollars for 4 plates or the worse food I ever try in my life was a big ripoff In resume ,bad service , disgusting food and sorry for calling food disgusting and over price . This place...

Wow where do I start??? For starters Don George and his wife are beyond hospitable, very courteous and attentive to serving their customers. The restaurant/ store is always clean. The food is delicious and they offer a variety of foods, there is plenty to pick from. I wish I was able to go there more often. I live and work in N. Columbus so time does not allow me to go there as frequent as I wish. My husband is military so he is closer, when he craves a good bowl of soup or Sancocho he heads over there because he knows he can satisfy his craving there. We love the food, the service and the environment Borinquen foods offers. I recommend this restaurant to all future customers visiting or living in our area....
