From the moment I stepped through the door, I could feel the warmth and love that the owners poured into every aspect of their establishment. Huge dinning area with multiple compartments. There was a separated hall that can easily accommodate big private events.
The food was flavorful, but what truly set this restaurant apart was the sense of family and community that emanated from every corner.
We tried the beef empanadas, the chicken stew was good ( a bit salty for my taste) and the tres leché was moist and creamy.
Cheap prices as well!

I've been wanting to try Puerto Rican cuisine for a while now, and there aren't too many options in Pittsburgh. When I saw Flavor of Puerto Rico was offering a $6 discount on an online ordering app, I was definitely interested. Tonight, I ordered the baked chicken sandwich, sweet plantains (maduros), a beef and cheese empanada, as well as a slice of tres leches.
It was a lovely meal at a great price. The sandwich was simple, but very good. Their chicken is roasted perfectly, and incredibly tender. They give you a pretty good portion for the price, too. Pan de agua, or water bread, is homemade and soaks up the chicken juices. It's great! There's also a bit of cheese in this sandwich, which was a nice touch.
This was my first time trying maduros, so I wasn't too sure what to expect other than a sweet flavor. These were definitely sweet, and they are generous with their side portions. Maduros are caramelized on the outside and quite soft on the inside. I'm not the biggest fan of maduros now that I know their flavor, but these were clearly expertly made and still worth trying.
The empanadas (or pastellitos) are an absolute must try when you visit this place. I got the beef and cheese, which was sooo good! The ground beef is juicy and flavorful, while the crust is light and crunchy. I didn't find any cheese in this empanada, though.
I was a fan of their tres leches. It was very well soaked and creamy. It's topped with a nice coating and a dusting of cinnamon (the cinnamon flavor is not very prominent). The dessert is not too heavy, either. I do wish the portion was a little bigger.
All in all, this is a hidden gem in Mount Oliver. There are only a few Puerto Rican places in Pittsburgh, and this surely excellent food which seems quite authentic! Now they have a more consistent menu, too, instead of just daily specials. Definitely worth a try for anyone who's curious about Puerto Rican cuisine.
Amazing hidden gem here locally. The food is delicious with good portions at a competitive price. Not many Puerto Rican spots around the city so we're lucky to have one as good as this close by. The staff are also extremely friendly!
The BEST empanadas, amazing vegan and vegetarian options. Arroz con gandules were amazing, make sure to try the arroz con leche for dessert.
Food was good, typical puertorrican flavor, but it was too greasy. I expected this from the empanadilla since it is fried but not from the rice with pigeon peas, nor the shredded pork. Portions are big and the prices very reasonable.
I'm Puerto Rican, and this place exceeded my expectations. Yvette and Victor make you feel like family. The food is delicious.
Flavor of PR has a lunch counter vibe, and they have a party room available for rent too.
Our faves so far are the chuleta frita (porkchop) and the pastelillos (empanadas). The bistec encebollado isn't traditional, but my husband loved it. I was too busy eating the oh so fresh salad and the flavorful habichuelas to try the bistec so I'll get it next time.
My only wish is that the white rice was more traditional; it has a mass produced taste that sticks out on such spectacular plates.
I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
I’d suggest going here. The food is delicious and as someone who has lived in Puerto Rico growing up, this place is the closest you will likely get to Puerto Rico here in Pittsburgh.
Note: there is no seating. So you pick up and go. The owners are also really nice. It’s a husband (American)/wife (Puerto Rican) team.
I’m a Boricua that moved to Pittsburgh from another state and I finally found a legitimate Puerto Rican food spot!!!!!!! This restaurant had awesome owners, amazing food and the vibe was set with that Salsa music that reminded me of my parents showing off their fire dance moves at the Salsa club. There is no other spot like this in Pittsburgh!!!!! Go in and grab yourself a delicious plate!

So, I got alladis for $11! They didn't even hold me on the plantains...I got like 50/11 plantains for $2! The chicken was so juicy and seasoned like fuuhhh. I'm not finna lie, the rice was a smidge too salty for me, but I buried it in hot sauce anyways. Lol It is good, but a girl is trying to watch her salt. They do give healthy portions of rice too and made sure to pour some of the juice over it; I loved that. The empanadas are fire too. 🔥 🔥🔥
The customer service I received here was amazing, and this establishment is truly COVID-19 safe! I love that they're going the extra mile to keep themselves and their customers safe. These are great people.
All in all, the food is fresh, the service is great, and the flavors are right. It's a family business, so I hope it gets tons of support!
A wonderful spot for Puerto Rican cuisine. Everything I've tried from here has been five stars. The baked chicken sandwich is my absolute favorite. It's a lovely family owned and operated restaurant that I look forward to visiting often.
