El Nuevo Bohío — Restaurant in New York

Back in 2015 was the last time I went to this restaurant, they had delicious food the employees were friendly and were always smiling the tables were decorated with the puertorican flag and old San Juan it was a very happy place i went a couple times before that,anyway now it's July 2025 and everything changed the employees are all male and not happy to take your order they be rushing you to order, no decorated tables anymore the place was empty, anyway we was hungry i wanted Latin food because i don't cook as often only on special occasions, my daughter wanted food also i ordered arroz con gandules and pernil with some steak sauce on top i wanted sweet peppers over my rice also employee said they weren't allowed to do that but he did anyway if I'm paying why not i don't understand, so we pay our food and we put the food in the car we had to buy something across the street took 10 minutes, we go in the car the smell was so bad like something rotten,i open a window i got nauseous it smelled inside the bag and it smelled horrible i opened my food it didn't smell i tasted it no taste at all pernil either i get home start eating all i can taste is vinegar in everything, I think they tried masking the smell from the pernil by letting it soak in vinegar and what it did was made the pernil so dry i couldn't even swallow it, i asked my daughter when she arrived home if she tasted anything on the food she said the same thing no flavor at all even the mojo they gave was just vinegar, my food is still in the fridge $15 for garbage and that's my fault because i never eat out or order food but didn't feel like cooking for myself never...

We thank El Bohio restaurant and their delivery guys for sending us an excellent one, accepting our suggestion of the pork chop portion. Combo #2 and Chicharron de Cerdo. They took us there the first time we ordered, finally perfectly cooked food, congratulations to that new cook! Delicious, just the right flavor, fresh and well made food, thank you! No more salty, burnt, tasteless or half cooked food. 🥇👏🏻

They don't cook well all the time, nor are they surprising when everything is fresh and with the authentic taste of PR and RD food. It's sad that they dare to send poorly prepared food. I placed the order through Uber Eat and it didn't take more than 30 minutes to arrive. The bad thing is that the Pernil, the most desired protein, arrived cold, dry and with hard skin, the meat was white as if it were chicken. The truth is, it's not what it used to be. The food in general was very well cooked and delicious. They really are bad at making excuses about everything now. And they dare to say that one is the only one who has problems with food and no one else complains to them,...
