We haven’t even finished our meal yet and I am already writing a review because KUDOS to the Chef! Living in PA from NYC for the past 5 years and I have yet to find a place with some really good PR food…until Bomba y Plena! The food is absolutely amazing, seems to be made to order but in timely manner. Service was super friendly and top notch. Our entire meal was outstanding, every single thing we had, so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The bifongo was not dry at all. Cannot wait to return to try more from here!

There you go !!! Mata Hambre haha !!!! The deep PR flavor. This guy knows how to make it. Lot of Philly places lack this flavor straight up. So glad I found this place. They put love into making the food.

Bomba y Plena is a hidden gem. It has a cozy atmosphere and the incredible service makes you feel at Puerto Rico. The music set the tone for a great meal. Most of the things I tried, I liked. The can can pork chop is so good, I always ask them To cook it really crispy so I can have the chicharrón edges! The seafood is good too. Come and experience the best mamposteao rice in Philadelphia!

All I have to say is.... The rellenos de papa were so freaking good. I only ordered rellenos de papa, 2 chicken pastelillos and 2 beef paatelillos. Everything was so good. Pero los rellenos de papa, crunchy outside nice and soft on the inside good flavor!
