A Journey Through Puerto Rican Food

Puerto Rican Food with Santiago's Signature Dishes

At Santiago's, every dish celebrates Puerto Rican tradition, family, and the mix of Latin American flavors.

From the national dish of mofongo to the beloved empanadas, Santiago's offers a taste of Puerto Rico that is authentic and deeply satisfying.

Mofongo: A Puerto Rican Staple

Mofongo, the quintessential Puerto Rican dish, brings the humble plantain to life. Mashed and mixed with garlic and olive oil, then filled with your choice of chicken or shrimp, it represents the island's love for hearty, comforting foods. This dish, often served with a side of arroz, embodies the spirit of Puerto Rican cuisine.

Empanadas: A Versatile Favorite

Santiago's empanadas offer a versatile taste of a Latin American cuisine staple. Filled with a mix of ground beef, chicken, or cheese, these deep-fried delights are wrapped in a golden crust, making them perfect for any meal.

Tostones and Maduros: The Perfect Sides

The perfect meal at Santiago's includes sides of both tostones (fried green plantains) and maduros (sweet plantains cooked and fried). These dishes offer a delightful contrast in flavors and are staple side dishes in Puerto Rican homes. They go well with each of our main dishes or as a snack on its own.

Sweet Endings with Tres Leches Cake

No culinary journey is complete without dessert, and Santiago's tres leches cake is a sweet testament to Puerto Rican baking. Soaked in three kinds of milk and topped with a light whipped cream, this dessert is a favorite for its moist texture and balanced sweetness. It's the perfect way to end or start any meal.

With dishes like rellenos de papa (stuffed potato balls), and vanilla flan, Santiago's ensures that each visit is a memorable experience, full of flavors that speak to the heart of Puerto Rican cuisine.
