Been looking for great Hispanic food, finally found a Puerto Rican spot! This was my first time and the flavor did not miss!! Everything I got was seasoned beautifully. I had the tostones relleno, the pernil was juicy and tender , the rellenos de papa: I had beef and chicken both seasoned perfectly, even the potato had flavor man. I’m definitely going back to try the rest of the menu. Will post again when I do.

This place is what Pittsburgh NEEDS: amazing quality Latin American food. Ordered (through DoorDash) from here twice (different entries and items each time), and both times have been completely impressed. You can't go wrong!

If you like Puerto Rican food (or never had it before) this is the place to go. The pollo guisado stew was so rich, savory-flavorful (think tomato, pepper, lemon, bay leaf, garlic, maybe some cumin flavor; hard to describe exactly the flavor). You get three sides with it too. I got tostones (nice and crispy), Yuca fries (these are good but get some of the garlic sauce with them next time) and sliced avocado. I'd recommend rice and beans with this for a real treat. The people working there were really nice too. Always love trying dishes here and recommend to check them out if you're over near Homestead.

The food was great. The flan is almost just like Filipino leche flan so i loved it. The portions were great. Staff were very friendly. You order at the kitchen and they have a different seating area shared with another business. It’s a vibe.

Secretos has amazing food, excellent quality, and generous service both when dining-in or when ordering catering. My recent experience with their catering was ABOVE & BEYOND: convenient process, quick communication, and extremely accommodating service resulted in a delicious holiday meal for my family. Highly recommend the decadent flan. Thank you again! SUPER casual spot so low rating for atmosphere alone, so not a real complaint just expect casual.

Ended up getting steak with chimichurri. The steak itself was a little overcooked for me, I like it medium rare, but that might be how it’s supposed to be made for Puerto Rican food. The chimichurri sauce was excellent. The Yucca fries were delicious as well as the red beans. I really liked the Mofongo as you could taste the garlic and plantains perfectly. Also try the fried sweet plantains which were delicious. Definitely recommend.

The Guisado de Pollo was great. If you love plantains, they were amazing here. We got a bottle of wine from the corner store and had a lovely time. Reminds me of Grandma's kitchen when she's frying up all her peppers at once. Limited seating, but they do takeout too.

Nice place for some Puerto Rican food. We were passing through and decided to check them out. Even though the dishes are on the higher end, the servings are filling. The foods flavor was close but not quite tasting as island food (obviously, some condiments/food we cook w are not readily available here). The guy and girl (don't know if they own it) were nice.
