La Fonda Boricua is a longtime El Barrio institution for Puerto Rican comfort food, and The Infatuation warns that 'if you show up on a Friday night, expect a wait,' pointing to steady weekend crowds at the small dining room.

The restaurant takes reservations through Resy, per The Infatuation, which gives diners a way around the Friday-night crunch; live music nights with flamenco dancers and Latin jazz bands, also noted by The Infatuation, add to the draw on busier evenings.
