    Huge selection of Spanish food.  When you first walk in and you see the menu, its kinda tough to choose what you want but once you narrow it down its all well worth looking through the menu.

    I had a .75 empanada which was big and full of meat and some other deep fried meat stuffed thing.

    Its great how this place is open till 1am on a Sunday and street parking isn't that tough to find.

    How can you complain about an empanada that costs 75 cents?!  I stopped in here for a little fried snack one night before a concert at the Paradise Theater around the corner and got a very tasty and flaky little beef empanada for less than a buck.  Sure, it could have had a bit more filling (I actually tossed away some of the extra dough), but for that price it was worth it. The ladies behind the counter seemed a bit shocked to see a white girl walk into their store, and they did speak limited English, but they kept the line moving quickly and efficiently.

    This is a Classic Cuchifrito spot.
    Not much to see here, I mean if you've got it bad for some deep fried pork, empanadillas, pig foot soup, pollo al carbon & rice & beans, stop in and get your fill for under 10 bucks.
    I would opt out of 'dining in' as there is heavy foot traffic and not much in the ways of ambiance.

    Staff is quick and attentive, you are in and out in a few minutes.
    The pernil (roast pork) is delicious... get extra napkins because it is greasy... as is the nature of Cuchifritos.

    Buen Provecho.

    Nothing fancy, upscale or swank! Just delicious authentic Puerto Rican food. Been going there since grade school and although I no longer live in NYC, I come back to this spot everytime I visit.

    Love the oxtails with the arroz con frijoles. The roast chicken and stuffed plaintains are delicious.  (I always buy a couple to enjoy on my flight back home)

    Service is good. Priced just right. Two thumbs up. Please open one here in LA!!!
