Muchisimas gracias for this incredible review, it truly means the world to us. We’re beyond happy to hear that everything from the food to the service brought you right back to La Isla. That’s exactly the experience we aim to create every single day.
Knowing that our flavors, seasoning, and overall vibe reminded you of Isla Verde, Old San Juan, and the beach even while being in BK, NYC is the highest compliment we could receive. 🙌🏽
Thank you for your love, support, and kind wishes for our success. It’s all pa’ mi gente, and we’re grateful to have guests like you who feel that connection. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon.

We came on a rainy day and were the only two customers. The lady at the register was very nice. The food was really delicious. I ordered the chuleta which was a little on the dry but the chicharron was perfect and juicy. The yellow rice was also a little dry but still good. The Maduros were absolute perfection. The pastel de cerdo was also really good. Dish presentation was very nice. The arroz mamposteao was also enjoyable. Prices are transparent. I have been wanting to try this place even though it is on the pricier end but the meal was worth it. I hope to return. The atmosphere was nice. The decor was nice and they had a travel show highlighting San Juan.

Very disappointed, first we came from far, then we waited almost "3 HOURS"! to be called which they never did! We watched people showed up to be called right in, Owner telling us they have reservations (website said they don't take reservations) pure waist of time getting my family to go here! Not to mention the distance we came from and the traffic we had to deal with. I will definitely not recommend this place. Cannot say anything about the food because we never got to taste it..smh...very disappointing....

Kind of strange of you to update your review a year later to a restaurant you admittedly did not dine at, a little bitter don’t you think? And it’s “waste” not waist, but if you had dined here, your “waist” size may have grown 🤣
By the way, we are on OpenTable now for seamless reservations at www.Kiosko787NY.Com 🕺🇵🇷
I have to admit, I’m a bit disappointed too, especially with a one-star review. Was the wait long? Yes, it was about an hour and a half, and as you saw, we were extremely busy. I was upfront and honest with you about the wait time from the start, and I also mentioned that we were testing out the same waitlist app you used for reservations, which is why it’s not live on our website yet. We’re still working out the best system for our needs.
You came in with a party of 7 during a high-traffic time when other guests were also waiting patiently. We do our best to accommodate everyone, but when larger groups show up unexpectedly, it does take time to hold tables to be able to rearrange the tables to accommodate larger groups. Traffic and travel time are beyond our control, but had you waited just 20 more minutes, you would have sat down to eat a delicious Puerto Rican meal, but you decided to waste your own time and left.
At the end of the day, it’s unfortunate that you missed out on a great meal. We served over 300 guests today, and I’m proud of how well the team handled it. Kiosko 787 is all about providing an excellent experience, and I think our staff delivered on that today to those who patiently waited.

The was our first stop for our weekend trip to New York. The food was freshly made, we made reservations but I believe they take walk in’s too. The cashier was the waiter , he was really on it while multitasking, brought our drinks, appetizers and had 3 other tables when we walked in. Atmosphere was just how it looks, very relaxed . Enjoyed it!

It reminded me of my abuela's cooking. The bacalaito was fresh made-to-order, nice and crispy. The coquito was authentic. The Mofongo de Tierra y Mar absolutely delicious,bursting with flavor and so filling. Definitely will return.

Have to admit was a little let down. Maybe we got the wrong dishes. But we got the pork special and corned beef. For the price expected larger portions and more sauces, since the place is known for all the extravagant sauces on their mofongos. Need to go back for mofongo. Hopefully they make bifongo and pinchos in the future. Service was good.

Thank you for stopping by and for taking the time to leave your feedback. We appreciate the review and we’re glad to hear the service was good.
To clarify, we serve standard sized portions across the board. Our plates include ten ounces of rice, six ounces of beans and approximately ten to twelve ounces of meat. We keep our portions consistent so everyone gets the same value every visit. As for the corned beef, that ingredient has become expensive, more than chicken for instance and unfortunately that is something completely out of our control.
Regarding the dishes you mentioned, Bifongo is part of our secret menu and available on request. We also offer pinchos occasionally as chef specials, depending on the day.
We hope you’ll come back to try the mofongo experience we are known for. If you need any recommendations on your next visit, we are always happy to help.

My girlfriend and I definitely enjoyed our meal here at Kiosko 787! We just moved to Queens but I’m Puerto Rican on my Mom’s side and my girlfriend’s best friends family is also Puerto Rican so when one of our errands was going to be bringing us to the area I wanted to stop because I’ve had this place saved since I saw it on TikTok. The flavors are definitely reminiscent of my grandma’s cooking so it felt really special. The Mofongos were delicious and loved that crispy bacalaito. Their arroz con gandules is more adobo forward, although I prefer mine to be sofrito forward and with a lil jamón (but again that’s just preference!). Tostones were also great— I feel they could be leveled up further with a side of mojo (verde o rojo!). Can’t wait to bring my Mom back when she visits sometime ♥️

Very disappointing experience from start to finish.
The service was extremely poor. The same person who greets you at the door is the same person taking orders, serving, and trying to handle multiple tables at once and you can tell she was overwhelmed. Her attitude felt irritated the entire time, which made the environment uncomfortable.
To make things worse, the food was not good at all. The flavors were off, the quality was low, and the dish I ordered didn’t even come with the tostones it was supposed to include. When I mentioned it, it felt like I was bothering her, even though it was part of my meal.
It was obvious they didn’t have enough staff for the number of customers, and everything suffered because of it. Between the bad service, the missing items, and the poor taste of the food, this is definitely a place I wouldn’t return to or recommend.
Update for respond to the owner:
Alfonso, gracias por responder, pero tu mensaje se siente más como un intento de desacreditar al cliente que como una respuesta profesional. Voy a aclarar varios puntos porque tu contestación está llena de suposiciones incorrectas.
Primero, yo también soy dueña de un negocio. Sé perfectamente lo que significa manejar empleados, clientes, presión y días ocupados. Y precisamente por eso sé cuándo alguien está simplemente busy y cuándo alguien está dejando que su frustración se note. Lo que yo viví en tu restaurante no fue una “percepción subjetiva”: fue una mala actitud evidente, un ambiente incómodo y una falta de manejo básica.
Segundo, sobre la comida: me alegra que otros clientes hayan tenido buenas experiencias, pero eso no invalida la mía. Yo pagué, yo probé la comida, y mi opinión es completamente válida. Decir que mi comentario “no refleja la realidad” es básicamente decir que lo que yo viví no importa. El gusto será subjetivo, pero mi experiencia fue real.
Tercero, con respecto a los tostones: aquí sí necesito corregirte completamente.
A mí se me explicó en persona que venían incluidos. Sí le notifiqué a la mesera que faltaban.
Y aun así, nunca los trajo.
Eso no es “un error mío”, es un fallo en el servicio. Punto.
Y ahora lo más fuera de lugar de tu respuesta: insinuar que mi reseña es “fabricada” o que se parece a la de una amiga.
Para tu información: NO fui con ninguna amiga, como dice tu mensaje.
Así que esa acusación no solo es falsa, sino innecesaria. No necesito que nadie escriba por mí ni coordino reseñas con nadie. Mi comentario refleja exactamente lo que viví.
Yo respeto cualquier negocio que se levanta todos los días a trabajar porque yo también lo hago pero respeto no significa quedarme callada cuando la experiencia no fue buena. Mi reseña fue honesta, directa y real. No fue inventada, no fue fabricada y no fue coordinada.
Lo que hagas con esta crítica depende de ti. Puedes usarla para mejorar o puedes seguir atacando a tus clientes. Pero eso sí refleja claramente cómo manejas tu negocio.

Update: I will attempt to clarify this again, no dish we serve “comes” with tostones unless you choose it as your side, except for the Asopao, the menu clearly states as follows: “Served with one choice of Rice & Beans, Rice & Gandules, Tostones, or Maduros” please refer to our menu which is available on our website www.Kiosko787NY.Com. As for your friend, yes Luis with a similar ChatGpt review, you know, the same Luis Alamo that left you a 5 Star review on your business “DBloomcleaning LLC” ;)
Oohhh wait, Gaby Alamo too! Jaja por eso tienes 5 estrellas!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I would like to clarify a few points to ensure an accurate representation of your visit.
Upon review, at no point did our server display irritation or attitude toward you or your guests. She was managing multiple tables, as is normal for a small restaurant, but there was no disrespect or behavior that would justify the description you provided. Your account is an exaggeration of what actually occurred.
Regarding the food, our dishes are prepared with authentic Puerto Rican flavors, very similar to what you would find on the island. Taste is subjective, and not everything is for everyone, but describing the flavors and quality as “off” or “low” is not an accurate reflection of how the food is prepared. This weekend alone, we received several positive reviews and messages on social media from other guests who enjoyed the same items we served you all.
If your plate was missing tostones, we apologize for the oversight. It is a simple correction that takes only a couple of minutes when brought to our attention. However, the only dish that comes with it is the Asopao, which I do not see on your ticket and was an error on your part.
It is also hard to overlook the noticeable similarity between your review and your friend’s ChatGPT generated comments. Honest feedback is always welcome, but coordinated or manufactured reviews are not helpful to future guests seeking genuine information.
Our team works hard every day despite the limitations of being a small Brooklyn restaurant. We may not have the staffing of a large establishment, but we are fully committed to serving good food and providing a positive experience for everyone who visits.

Sitio lindo y todo, pero la comida y servicio dejan mucho que desear.
Primero, comida quema con sabor malo.
Segundo, la comida llega cuando le da la gana. Pides aperitivos y el mismo llega de postre. Si comes con varias personas, todos comeran a tiempo distinto o algunos comeran comida fria.
Tercero, menu dice que los vienen con tostones pero son como la estadidad en PR nunca llegan.
Cuarto, precios extremadamente altos. Un plato de cornbeef a $19.
Yo no lo recomiendo, ni volvere.
—
Here’s a clear and direct English version:
⸻
Nice place and all, but the food and service leave a lot to be desired.
First, the food comes out burnt and with a bad taste.
Second, the food arrives whenever it feels like it. You order appetizers and they show up as dessert. If you’re eating with a group, everyone gets their food at different times, or some end up eating cold food.
Third, the menu says the dishes come with tostones, but they’re like statehood in Puerto Rico — always promised, never delivered.
Fourth, the prices are extremely high. A corned beef dish for $19 is unreasonable.
I don’t recommend this place, and I won’t be returning.

Thank you for visiting and for taking the time to leave a review. I would like to clarify a few points to ensure accuracy for future guests.
Our menu does state that dishes may arrive as they are prepared, however your description is an exaggeration of what occurred. If your meal was missing the tostones, we sincerely apologize for that oversight. It is an easy correction that would have taken only a couple of minutes to resolve had it been brought to our attention during your visit.
Regarding the price of corned beef, the cost is clearly listed on the menu. If you felt the price was too high, it would have been best not to order it. Running a restaurant in New York City involves substantial costs in food, labor, compliance, and operations, and pricing reflects that reality.
Regarding the “Missing” tostones, no dish we serve “comes” with tostones unless you choose it as your side, except for the Asopao, the menu clearly states as follows: “Served with one choice of Rice & Beans, Rice & Gandules, Tostones, or Maduros”.

Gracias por visitarnos y por tomar el tiempo de dejar su reseña. Me gustaría aclarar varios puntos para asegurar información correcta para futuros clientes.
Nuestro menú sí indica que los platos pueden llegar a la mesa según se vayan preparando, sin embargo, su descripción es una exageración de lo que realmente ocurrió. Si a su plato le faltaron los tostones, pedimos disculpas por ese descuido. Era un detalle sencillo de corregir y hubiese tomado apenas un par de minutos si se nos notificaba durante su visita.
En cuanto al precio del corned beef, el costo está claramente indicado en el menú. Si usted entendía que el precio era muy alto, lo más apropiado hubiese sido no ordenarlo. Operar un restaurante en la ciudad de Nueva York conlleva costos significativos en alimentos, mano de obra, cumplimiento de regulaciones y operaciones, y los precios reflejan esa realidad.
En cuanto a los supuestos tostones “faltantes”, ningún plato de nuestro menú “incluye” tostones a menos que el cliente los escoja como acompañante. La única excepción es el Asopao. Nuestro menú lo explica claramente: “Served with one choice of Rice & Beans, Rice & Gandules, Tostones, or Maduros”.

TikTok made me do it! 🤣 Pero like muy caro. I know economy is bad but too expensive 300 For rice and beans. The only thing I liked was the alcapurrias de guineo y carne. Too much sazon Goya! On everything. It’s a ones in a lifetime for me. Y la Mesera tenía una cara de perro. La atención muy seca she seemed bothered with every question.

Thank you Tik Tok, Unfortunately these are the signs of the times, todo esta caro hasta para nosotros, y aqui en Puerto Rico hasta mas caro. Don’t know where you got $300 for rice and beans when it’s clearly under $10. Happy you liked the Alcapurrias but to clarify we don’t use Goya Sazon on dishes, we use fresh aceite de achiote hecho en la casa for color. Las meseras are all very nice and hardworking, hablale de la isla y ellas sonrien lol.

Gracias nuevamente por apoyarnos. Esperamos verla pronto otra vez para más sabor y buena vibra de Puerto Rico aquí en Brooklyn.

I enjoy the authentic environment, food and experience that me and a friend got to have. The service was AWSOMESAUCE from the moment I walked in the door. I don't eat meat so ordering to the mofongo was a great choice. 5 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟Stars for me. I love the kid family-friendly vibe. As well as the adult BYOBB vibe ya get when there are no kids. Keep up the great work. The food was amazing, and so was the service.

Bc I think it’s important when eating food not of your homeland, flagging that I’m not Puerto Rican but my fiance is. Arroz con gandules was on par - a little heavy on the salt but still good. Empanadas and Acapullias weren’t as authentic as we hoped, too much breading and not much filling. Pasteles were bomb. No alcohol served here. Prices were oddly high, obviously not the same as PR but still high for nyc/bk prices.

Hi Lisette,
Thank you for stopping by and for taking the time to share your thoughts. We truly appreciate when guests offer thoughtful feedback.
Puerto Rican food does tend to lean a bit heavier on seasoning, and while we do our best to balance flavors, we understand everyone’s palate is different. As for the Empanadillas and Alcapurrias, we actually use two ounces of filling in each, which is more than many spots both here in New York and on the island. We focus on traditional recipes and preparation, so your comment is helpful and we will continue to keep a close eye on consistency.
We do not serve alcohol at this location, as our focus is on offering authentic, home-style Boricua cuisine in a casual and welcoming environment.
Regarding pricing, we understand the cost of dining has increased everywhere. We price in line with similar restaurants both in NYC and in Puerto Rico, where I spend a significant part of the year, at home in PR now. The rising cost of ingredients and operations affects us all, but we are always evaluating and adjusting where we can while maintaining quality.
Thank you again for visiting and for sharing your experience. We hope to welcome you and your fiancé back in the future.
Sincerely,
Al, Owner
