About

Ponce Restaurant is a cherished family-run gem established in 1998 by our Puerto Rican matriarch, Yolanda, hailing from the vibrant city of Ponce. We specialize in traditional Puerto Rican cuisine, with our signature Jibaritos, Mofongos, and Arroz con Gandules taking center stage. Each dish begins with our homemade sofrito, a recipe passed down through generations that captures the authentic flavors of the island. Our restaurant is more than just a place to eat—it's a community cornerstone where family and friends gather to enjoy a piece of Puerto Rico. Come and savor the taste of tradition at Ponce Restaurant.
