I'll be coming back for more!"

"Nelly Latin Restaurant (formally named Cilantro) Amazing Latin (Puerto Rican / Dominican) food! Some of the best mofongo and pernil ever tasted outside of the islands. Pasteles are on point! Food is consistently flavorful and fresh and not too salty. The service could not be more perfect: always on time, with great quality food served by the kindest owners prices are super affordable (The combo specials are the best - 2 or 3 eat for $20) with very generous portions"

"Moving to New Windsor and found this gem of a place. The Montaditos and Pastelillos were on point! The Rabo was tender and super tasty, just needed to be served hotter. The Mofongo was really good as well, nice flavor. The Churrasco was super tender and the sauce was yummy! Happy to have this within driving distance from home."
