Puerto Rican and Dominican Food in Reading, PA

Reading's Puerto Rican and Dominican food is easy to find once somebody names the addresses. Mofongo Restaurant on South 5th Street is the mofongo answer. La Casa del Chimi on Franklin Street is the chimi answer, El Bohio on North 5th Street is where the alcapurrias are, and Tropical Bakery on Bingaman Street is where the tres leches lives. Everything below is a place we can point at, with the dish you should order when you get there.

Here is the part that made us write this. Per a GoReadingBerks history of Latino Berks published in December 2025, the Latino share of Reading's population ran about 37 percent in 2000, 60 percent in 2014, 67 percent in 2020 and roughly 70 percent by a 2024 estimate. Search for the food that comes with that and you get a top-ranked list mixing in restaurants in Lancaster, Columbia, Berwick and Philadelphia, scrape pages copying each other, and a page-one result confidently describing a restaurant that no listing, map, social account or delivery platform can confirm exists.

Berwick is about ninety miles from Penn Street. Nobody driving there is getting alcapurrias.

The dishes to know before you order Puerto Rican food in Reading.

Start with the vocabulary, because the dish names are Spanish and the counter staff will meet you halfway the second you know what you want. Puerto Rican and Dominican kitchens share plantains, pork and rice, then split on the details. A Puerto Rican menu leans on garlic, sofrito and fried snacks called frituras. A Dominican menu leans on stews, fried chicken and the mashed-plantain breakfast plate.

What is mofongo, and who makes it in Reading, PA?

Mofongo is green plantain, fried and then mashed in a wooden mortar with garlic, oil and usually pork cracklings, packed into a dome and served with something on top or beside it. It arrives dense and savory rather than sweet, and the topping is the whole decision: shrimp in garlic, steak with onions, octopus, fried pork chop, salmon. It is the single most available dish in this scene.

Two variations are worth knowing. Mofongo de yuca swaps cassava for plantain and comes out silkier. Trifongo usually uses three fried and mashed starches at once, green plantain, sweet plantain and yuca, and both live on the menu at 4th & Penn St Restaurant.

What are alcapurrias, pastelillos and bacalaitos, and where do you find them in Berks County?

These are frituras, the fried snacks that anchor Puerto Rican counters and bodegas. An alcapurria is a torpedo of grated green banana and yautia root wrapped around seasoned ground beef and deep fried, crisp outside and soft inside. A pastelillo is a thin turnover of dough folded over meat, cheese or both and fried flat, and the same thing is written as pastelito or empanadilla depending on whose kitchen it is.

A bacalaito is a salt cod fritter, crisp at the edges with a dense, chewy middle. It is the scarcest of the three around here, with alcapurrias not far behind, so the counters that fry either one are worth a detour.

What is pernil, and what comes with it in a Reading restaurant?

Pernil is pork, leg or shoulder, rubbed with garlic, oregano and adobo and roasted slowly until the meat pulls apart and the skin turns to cuero, the crackling sheet on top. It is the Sunday and holiday centerpiece in Puerto Rican homes, and in Reading it is a weekday lunch plate. Ask for the skin.

The standard partner is arroz con gandules, yellow rice cooked with pigeon peas and sofrito. If you order pernil anywhere on this page, order the rice with it.

What are mangu, chimi, yaroa and pica pollo, the Dominican half of Reading's menu?

Mangu is boiled green plantain mashed with the cooking water and finished with oil, soft and clean-tasting, and mangu con los tres golpes adds the three hits: fried salami, fried cheese and eggs. It is breakfast.

A chimi is the Dominican street sandwich, a seasoned ground pork or beef patty on pan de agua with shredded cabbage, tomato, onion and a pink sauce made from mayonnaise and ketchup. La Casa del Chimi Restaurant is named for it.

Yaroa is the late-night one, a layered plate of fried plantain or fries under meat, cheese and sauces, baked or broiled until it fuses. Look for it at Los Goldos Minimarket and El papi restaurant. Sancocho is the thick Dominican stew of root vegetables and several meats, and it turns up on the bigger Dominican menus around the city.

Pica pollo is Dominican fried chicken, marinated and fried hard, usually with tostones. It is on Dominican menus around the city, and it is the one dish on this page we are not going to send you to a single address for.

What is tres leches, and what else is in a Reading Latin bakery case?

Tres leches is sponge cake soaked in evaporated milk, condensed milk and whole milk, though heavy cream is a common substitution, until it is closer to a pudding than a cake, then topped with whipped cream or meringue. Every bakery in this post makes a version, and they are not the same version.

Around it in the case you will find quesitos, puff pastry rolled around sweetened cream cheese, plus flan, pan sobao, which is a soft, slightly sweet Puerto Rican bread, and pan de agua, the crustier loaf. Dominican cake is its own tradition, a very moist butter cake with fillings like dulce de leche, guava and pineapple.

How we picked these Reading Puerto Rican and Dominican restaurants.

We read the review themes and dish highlights we hold for Latin food businesses across Berks County and kept the places where the evidence named a specific dish, then read the owners' own sites and the local reporting on them where those exist. Nothing here is ranked and nothing here was bought. More Puerto Rican listings across the county live on the Puerto Rican food category page, and the Dominican category page does the same job for the other half of this scene.

Puerto Rican restaurants in Reading, PA worth the drive.

Mofongo Restaurant on South 5th Street, the mofongo answer in Reading.

Order the mofongo, then argue with yourself about the topping. The kitchen builds it more than a dozen ways, with octopus in garlic sauce, shrimp in red creole sauce, steak with onions, salmon, fried pork chop, and a full seafood version with shrimp, octopus and mussels in creole sauce. The plain mofongo sencillo, plantain mashed with garlic and pork cracklings, is the one to start with if you have never eaten it.

The sancocho is what reviewers get emotional about, one calling it the best soup they have ever had. The pork bites draw the same kind of praise for seasoning and texture, and reviewers repeatedly point at the piña colada. There is flan and tres leches on the dessert list.

Palo Magazine profiled the restaurant in July 2026 and reported that owners Ramon and Jose Aliro Martinez opened it in 2021 and had reached five years in business. Palo is the Berks Latino publication doing the sustained, dated reporting on these kitchens, and it is the reason this post can tell you who is cooking rather than just what. Parking near the corner comes up in reviews as easy, which is not nothing downtown.

Old San Juan Cafe on North 9th Street, for pernil with rice and beans.

The pernil is the order, with rice and beans beside it. Reviewers single it out for juiciness and flavor, one pairing it with arroz con gandules and another running through pernil, chicharrones, yuca and bacalaito as their standing rotation. The alcapurrias are the other reason to come, called out by reviewers alongside guineo escabeche and pastelitos.

Save room. Reviewers call out the flan and the guava and cream cake, and one describes the house green salsa as packed with flavor without much heat. The room is a low-key cafe with a wall mural, and reviewers describe large takeout orders coming together fast.

The one standing local review of a Puerto Rican restaurant in Berks County belongs to this kitchen, and per the county's main food site it carries the date February 29, 2016. It is open and serving now.

El Bohio on North 5th Street, for pastelillos, alcapurrias and bacalaitos.

Get the pork and cheese pastelillos. One reviewer calls them the best thing the place has, hands down, and another describes them as huge. The alcapurrias draw the same kind of praise, one reviewer calling them wonderful and flavorful, and the bacalaitos get called the best a reviewer has ever had.

The rest of the board is short and traditional: relleno de papa, empanadas, bacalao, yellow rice and roast pork. Reviewers describe the owners and staff switching between Spanish and English to walk people through the menu, which one reviewer with very little Spanish says got him exactly what he wanted.

Two practical notes. It is a cash operation, so hit an ATM first, and it is a small room built around a counter rather than a dining room. Call ahead to check the hours before you drive over.

El Punto Boricua on Centre Avenue, the Puerto Rican counter no ranking has found.

This one is not on anybody's list. El Punto Boricua serves pastelillos, mofongo topped with melted mozzarella, arepas and Puerto Rican coffee. It takes orders through its own website, and it was posting to Instagram the day we did the verification work for this post.

Reviewers push you toward two things the menu does not lead with. Three of them land on the mallorca, the soft sweet Puerto Rican roll used as a sandwich, one recommending it with egg, bacon and cheese and dusted with sugar, another writing only "Las mallorcas wow!!!" Two go to the seafood empanadillas, one calling the octopus and shrimp versions the best, another calling the shrimp one excellent.

The frituras hold up more broadly, with one reviewer recommending the surullos stuffed with cheese and another the pastelillos. Portions run big enough to plan around: one reviewer says the Cuban sandwiches are big enough for two people, and another brought one back to the office and fed themselves and three coworkers off it. A reviewer names Barbie for attentive service.

Its absence from every ranked list for this query is a fact about the lists, not about the food, given that the lists which do rank send readers to Lancaster and Berwick.

El Fogon de Jule on Schuylkill Avenue, for pernil and Thursday night music.

The pernil is the dish. One reviewer calls it phenomenal with the rice and beans not far behind, and another writes that the lechon they make there has no price. The morcilla, Puerto Rican-style blood sausage, is the other thing people come back for, with one reviewer calling it the best in the city.

One reviewer names Chef Tony directly for the cooking. Come on a Thursday if you want the full version of the place: one reviewer describes the Thursday night entertainment as amazing, and others mention live music, Sunday karaoke and a pool table. It is a bar as much as a kitchen, and it is comfortable being both. El Fogón de Jule is on Schuylkill Avenue.

Dominican restaurants in Reading, PA, from chimis to mangu.

La Casa del Chimi on Franklin Street, the Dominican landmark in Reading.

Order the chimi. That is the whole point of the address, and it comes with cabbage, tomato, onion and pink sauce. Around it the kitchen runs chicharrón de pollo, pernil, sancocho, mangú con los tres golpes, oxtail, goat stew, pork belly, tropical juices and tres leches, which means one address covers most of the dishes people search for by name.

Reviewers back the order up. One recommends the chimi sandwich outright, and another describes a table ordering chimi de res and everyone devouring theirs. Portions run large: one reviewer got three meals out of a single plate, and another describes the servings the same way.

One reviewer notes they stay open until midnight and another simply says open late, which is the useful thing to know if you are coming off a shift. A reviewer who had just moved to the city writes that they were looking for a Dominican place that reminded them of home, and a reviewer credits the owner's daughter with walking them through the cooked meats on offer.

Palo Magazine profiled the restaurant on June 30, 2025. It reports that owner Jose O. De la Cruz, known as Morenito, came from San Francisco de Macorís in the Dominican Republic, arrived in the United States in 1995, and worked his way from a bodega to a food truck to the restaurant, which by then had been at its brick-and-mortar location about fifteen years.

The line from that profile that stays with you is about the room itself. Palo describes the place drawing Dominicans, Colombians, Ecuadorians, Haitians, Nigerians, Kenyans and Puerto Ricans, which makes it a Caribbean landmark rather than a Dominican one. That is a fair description of Reading, too.

4th & Penn St Restaurant on Penn Street, for roasted pork, mofongo de yuca and trifongo.

The roasted pork is the plate, and it travels. One reviewer calls it the best roasted pork in town, another says a to-go order comes packed with rice and pork. This is also the kitchen that documents mofongo de yuca and trifongo on the same menu, which no other place here does, alongside pernil, sancocho, churrasco, oxtail and chicharrón de pollo.

Two sleeper orders. The Cuban sandwich has a reviewer calling it the cheapest Cuban they have had and possibly one of the best, and the tres leches has a reviewer calling it the best they have had in their life. One reviewer will not stop talking about the passionfruit drink.

It sits on the corner at 4th and Penn, it runs long hours seven days a week per its own site, and it works like a corner cafeteria rather than a dining room. Get in line, point, eat.

Mi Casa Su Casa Cafe on Penn Street, for mangu and empanadas.

The mangu is the order here, and reviewers do not hedge about it. One review is literally the word mangu followed by fire emojis; another describes trying a traditional Dominican dish called mangu for the first time and finding it delicious.

A reviewer calls the beef and cheese empanada juicy and flavorful enough to skip the hot sauce. Another rates the house-made hot sauce as phenomenal, and a third singles out the coffee.

It is a compact room on Penn Street hung with work by a local artist, and one reviewer describes the woman who served them, who they believed was the owner, as close with her regulars. Multiple reviewers name Johanny for the catering side, including one who called last minute for a 60th birthday party and one who used them for a wedding.

El Papi on South 6th Street, for churrasco and mangu con los tres golpes.

Order the churrasco. One reviewer asked for medium, got it exactly, and came away recommending it outright, and another names the steak, the tostones and the pernil in the same breath. A reviewer who traveled in from Ohio to visit family calls the chicharrón the best of their life.

The mangu con los tres golpes is the other reason to come, the full Dominican breakfast plate of mashed plantain, fried salami, fried cheese and eggs. One reviewer orders it with onions and declares that this is where the mangu is. Another says flatly that the mofongo and the empanadas are the best in Reading.

Reviewers keep coming back to the people. One calls the owner among the most charismatic people you will find in town, another writes that the owner is a gentleman and his staff are excellent, and a third says they make you feel like family. A reviewer describes the room as welcoming and another says the place is clean, so this is one to sit down in rather than carry out.

The bodega kitchens: Dominican and Puerto Rican food behind the grocery counter.

This is the most Reading thing about Reading's food. A lot of the best cooking in the city happens at a four-burner range behind the counter of a corner grocery, plated into a foam container while somebody buys a phone card. You order at the register, you take it home, and you pay less attention to the room than to the plate.

Quisqueya Grocery on West Windsor Street, for mangu con los tres golpes.

Order the mangu with salami, fried cheese and eggs. A reviewer telling people they have to try it is what put the store on our list, and the same reviewer calls it a friendly corner bodega with an awesome selection of Dominican food and natural juices. Another writes, in Spanish, that they sell the most delicious Dominican food in all of Reading and have variety every day.

Get the pastelillos while you wait. One reviewer's entire note is that this is a nice bodega, get your pastelillos, they are cooking. You can phone an order in ahead, and reviewers say the family will special-order a product for you if you ask.

Los Goldos Minimarket on Green Street, for yaroa, patacones and frituras.

This is the yaroa address. Two reviewers writing in Spanish call these the best yaroas they have tried, and one of them extends that to the patacon and the frituras. A patacon in Dominican usage is a sandwich built with two flattened fried plantains standing in for bread, not the single fried disc that name means further south. If you have never had yaroa, this is the low-risk introduction, because a plate of layered plantain, meat and cheese is not a hard sell.

The frituras case is the other reason to stop. Los Goldos Minimarket is on Green Street, a reviewer notes consistently good service, and the store is a grocery first and a kitchen second.

Puerto Rican and Dominican bakeries in Reading and Berks County.

Tropical Bakery on Bingaman Street, for pan sobao, quesitos and tres leches.

Buy the pan sobao. A reviewer calls it the best they have had from there, and another describes being greeted in Spanish and feeling like they were back home. The tres leches cake is the bakery's logo, which is the kind of commitment you should reward.

The turnovers are the sleeper. Reviewers call out the pineapple, apple and guava-and-cheese versions and describe the pastry as light and fluffy, and the garlic bread has its own following, one reviewer describing it as a baguette roll with garlic butter that the town knows the bakery for. One reviewer says the Cuban sandwich was made to perfection, and another calls it excellent, with the smallest size enough to fill you up.

Per a Berks Weekly profile published in January 2018, this is a family bakery on the South Side dating to the early 1990s, with pan de agua, pan amarillo, quesitos, guava pastelillos and polvorones alongside the tres leches. It is a modest corner storefront and that is exactly the point.

Fabulous Cake Factory on Muhlenberg Street, for quesitos, cafecito and a mortadella sandwich.

Get a coffee and a sandwich, then look at the pastry case. One reviewer calls it the best coffee they have had in a long time and another simply says the coffee is amazing, and a third describes the mortadella with egg and Swiss on bread that is light and fluffy and crispy at once. The rice pudding gets singled out by a reviewer as heavenly.

Palo Magazine profiled the bakery on April 1, 2026, reporting that owners Edwin and Mia Ríos come from Hatillo and Ponce in Puerto Rico. The counter runs pan sobao, pan de agua, quesitos, tripletas, donuts, cafecito and custom cakes, and reviewers describe the pastries as authentically Puerto Rican and the owners as greeting people personally. Call for the hours before you head over.

Reviewers also rate the custom cake work, including one Naruto cake that a customer called the best they have seen done. That is a bakery that can do a birthday and a breakfast in the same visit.

Marisol's Bakery & Cafe on Pricetown Road in Temple, for tres leches and the Thursday pernil.

Go on a Thursday. The Thursday special is rice, pernil and a drink, and a reviewer calls it amazing. It is the cleanest excuse to drive to a Temple address for lunch that we can offer you.

The tres leches is the marquee item, with one reviewer calling it the best they have had and another describing sitting down just to eat it. The quesitos get the same treatment, including a reviewer who calls the guava ones heaven. A reviewer points at the mofongo with butter garlic chicken, and reviewers name the Cuban, the tripleta, the pork and the pastrami off the sandwich list.

Reviewers describe Marisol putting together a sampler plate so a first-timer could try a little of everything, and the family running the counter warmly. Call ahead to check the hours, and consider ordering the desserts ahead if you are feeding a group, because reviewers use them heavily for showers and parties. Marisol's Bakery & Café is on Pricetown Road.

Puerto Rican food in Berks County beyond Reading.

Casa De Empanadas in Kutztown, for pernil and empanadas by the dozen.

The pernil is the thing to order, described by reviewers as outstanding and wonderful, and it comes out of an empanada shop, which is a good surprise. The empanada list runs long in both directions, savory and sweet, and reviewers name the spinach and cheese one as a favorite. The dessert empanadas are worth the extra order: caramel apple, and a chocolate chip brownie that is essentially a brownie in a fried shell.

The owner will walk you through the menu if you do not know what things are, which reviewers mention repeatedly, and one family describes him making arrangements so they could pick up a catering order on Memorial Day when the shop was closed. Casa De Empanadas has a Kutztown address on East Main Street, which puts Puerto Rican cooking inside reach of the northern half of the county without a trip down Route 222.

More Latin food listings to look at across Berks County.

Latino food and heritage events in Reading and Berks County.

Two dated things worth putting on the calendar.

National Hispanic Heritage Month runs September 15 through October 15. Per a Penn State announcement dated August 27, 2026, Penn State Berks is running a free public program across those weeks.

It opens with a Berks LaunchBox Connect and Inspire event on Tuesday, September 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. at GoggleWorks Center for the Arts on Washington Street, then a campus kickoff on September 16 and speaker events on September 23 and September 30.

The Berks Cultural Diversity Festival lands Saturday, September 26, 2026 from noon to 6 p.m. at City Park, per the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance's own listing. It is free, organized by Bring the Change Inc. with the Chamber Alliance.

The format includes performances, a cultural village, kids' sections and a food area with international and local vendors. The 2024 edition was organized by a coalition that included the Dominican Association of Pennsylvania and the Hispanic Center of Reading and Berks, per Berks Weekly.

Frequently asked questions about Puerto Rican food in Reading, PA.

Where can I get mofongo in Reading, PA?

Mofongo is the most widely available dish in this scene, so the question is really which version. Mofongo Restaurant builds it more than a dozen ways and is the specialist, and 4th & Penn St Restaurant is where you go for the variations, mofongo de yuca and trifongo.

After that, Platinum Cafe & Lounge and El Punto Boricua both put their own spin on it, the second with melted mozzarella on top.

What is the difference between Puerto Rican and Dominican food in Reading?

They overlap heavily and then diverge on signatures. Puerto Rican kitchens are the place for mofongo, pernil with arroz con gandules, and the fried snack family of alcapurrias, pastelillos and bacalaitos. Dominican kitchens are the place for mangu con los tres golpes at breakfast, chimis off the grill, pica pollo, yaroa and sancocho, and their cake tradition is a separate art form from Puerto Rican pastry.

In Reading the line is blurrier than the textbook, because several kitchens cook both and several families are both. Nobody at the counter will mind you asking which is which.

Where do you find alcapurrias and pastelillos in Berks County?

Alcapurrias are the harder of the two to find. El Bohio Restaurant, Old San Juan Cafe and El Punto Boricua are the reliable answers in the city.

Pastelillos are everywhere by comparison, and the bodega counters listed above are the shortest route to a hot one. Villalba Deli & Grocery on Schuylkill Avenue carries both at the same counter.

Is there Puerto Rican or Dominican food in Berks County outside Reading?

Yes, though the density drops fast once you leave the city. Casa De Empanadas in Kutztown does pernil and a long empanada list, and Marisol's Bakery & Café on Pricetown Road in Temple does tres leches, quesitos and a Thursday pernil special. Both are worth building a trip around if you are north or east of the city.

Do Reading's Latin restaurants and bodegas take cards?

Some of the smallest counters run on cash, and El Bohio Restaurant is a cash operation, so stopping at an ATM first is a reasonable habit for this whole list. Several of these kitchens also take orders by phone and through delivery apps if you would rather order ahead. If Spanish is the working language at the counter and you do not speak it, pointing works fine, and our Spanish-language services guide for Berks County has more on navigating that.
