Here's my favorite. I have yet to read all of your reviews, although I will. I took Fred Escher to borinquena not long before I left Albany in 2010.

YELP REVIEW:

Okay, La Borinquena has only been around for a few months but it's already the go-to place for take-out Puerto Rican cuisine, considering it's the only Puerto Rican go-to place in the area. Everything is made from scratch, no freezer other than the ones holding the home-made limber ices, which are incredible after you've let them melt down a little bit: tamarindo, mango, pina, crema and more.

More home-made killer goodness: knockout pork, beef or shrimp empanadas, small and similar to the Argentine versions. Great Alcapurrias, basically a spicy beef fritter.

The storefront is still a no-frills work in progress, but is definitely worth investigating and enjoying. The owner is gregarious, upbeat and hopeful ...
