Tony Sanchez, owner of La Cocina Puertorriquena Restaurant.
La Cocina Puertorriqueña specializes in authentic homemade Puerto Rican food catered to natives of the island. The restaurant serves several variations of the island's signature dish, Mofongo, a mix of fried green plantains mashed with garlic, spices, and meat. In addition to typical home-cooked fare, the restaurant offers guests a taste of some of the owner's favorite Puerto Rican music. There is certainly no shortage of culture in this restaurant, but -- as always -- the best way to get to know a people is through their food.
