Chinese food already holds a place in the palates of many Puerto Ricans. Add a Puerto Rican element and seasoning, though, and the combination feels so natural it becomes something of its own. To give you a starting point, here are six Chinese restaurants that are sure to make your stomach, your heart and your busy week a little happier.
1. China Sun
China Sun sits right on the corner of parada 18 and offers a Chinese-Puerto Rican flavor that has drawn crowds to this Santurce street staple for decades. As one public Google Maps review puts it, "the temperature was perfect, the texture and flavor were just right."
2. Confianza China
The famous garlic tostones belong to Confianza China, in Carolina. Many people can vouch for how good they are (and we already have a date on the calendar to order them again). The spot has over 2,000 Google reviews from customers expressing satisfaction with the mini combo, one of its most-ordered specials.
3. Flor de Mayo en Levittown
Another well-known Chinese-Puerto Rican restaurant is Flor de Mayo, in Levittown. It will not only help satisfy your craving for Chinese food; the menu also includes sushi. The best of both worlds, as they say.
4. Sol Oriental
To round out the list, if you want more value for your money, Sol Oriental in Carolina is worth a visit. It is known not only for its portion sizes but also for the quality of its service. Delivery options (Uber, DoorDash) and drive-through are available.
5. Mei Wei
According to reviews, the mofongo at Mei Wei is on another level. Add a delicious orange chicken to that, and you have quite a meal. Prices are accessible and portions can easily feed two people.
6. Great Taste
If you have ever craved a pepper steak with mofongo, you are not far from finding one. Great Taste, located in Doramar Plaza, has that combination and much more. Check the menu for other combinations, offerings and daily specials that will make your mouth water.
