What Jose Castro likes about Sofrito Carribean Cuisine:
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and my dad was proud of our Taino Indio heritage. I discovered this restaurant on Google Maps and I am so glad that I did. I ordered takeout on a Sunday and I had the best yuca alcapurria I've had in a long time, along with a delicious beef empanada and some carne frita (fried pork chunks) served with perfectly cooked arroz con gandules.
