Cousins Grill

Mixed feelings. I remember going to this spot about 12 years ago. I remember the pork chops being thicker and juicier. The porkchop entree was ok. Generous portion of rice (which my 2 year old loved). lettuce and tomatoe on the side. And plantains w/garlic. Which was great. The pastele on the other hand, not so great. And that is reason I went there. Had a craving. There was a generous portion of meat inside, and again my baby loved it, but the taste was off and I've had better homemade pasteles. Also had a mango goya drink. Total was 13.80. ok place for lunch

Had to update my review from 5 stars to only 2. This place use to be the spot. After a couple of more visits they are just too inconsistent. The pernil I ordered was so dry and the rice was mediocre. Won't be back any longer.

I decided to give cousins a try after reading so many good reviews on here. I was sooo disappointed though. I ordered a pastille and steak jibarito w/arroz con gandules. I drove almost an hr and 15 mins round trip for this food and can't believe how bland it was. The pastille was good, but it tasted like canned chicken was used. The jibarito smelled like such garlicky goodness, but when I bit into it there was garlicky goodness. It was extremely bland tasting I'll def be sticking to borinquen for my PR fixes. Also the arroz con gandules lacked flavor too. They probably used Goya not sure tho since I've only ever had home made arroz con gandules. Skip this joint n head right to borinquen where they're serious about garlic just like I like it!
