M3t47 G34rJuly 29, 2016This was the best of the restaurants that I visited while in town. My recommendation: open up the meal with either rellenos de papa or tostones. For your entrée go for the Trifongo. Then, tres leches.
Boston.comDecember 6, 2012At this warm little Puerto Rican restaurant in the South End, the most warming thing on the menu is also one of the best: soup. The cream of plantain is comforting yet nuanced, with a garlic backbone. Read more
Michele SteinbergJune 6, 2013First time there last night for an early pre-theater dinner. Relaxed service, great mojitos and the food was unusual (for me) and delicious. Very reasonable prices for the quality and portions.
Carlos VargasAugust 8, 2013I've been to the sister restaurant Merengue in Roxbury, the food is amazing at both locations. if you are looking for real, really good and tasty food you must visit Vejigantes.
Ben BearnotApril 20, 2015Huge portions of tasty Puerto Rican dishes. Bring lots of friends for sharing. Loved the frozen tamarind margarita and pork chop entree.- aApril 29, 2016My god, this was an amazing place. Authentic puertorrican food and gigantic servings. All is good but try Mofongo Relleno.
ViayraFebruary 5, 2017While food tastes good, and prices are great, I'll say it's not completely authentic. Servers are nice, has Viejo San Juan vibes and the ambiance is good!- Purveyor of fantastic, authentic Puerto Rican and Dominican cuisine. Get the trifongo, chicharron de pollo, paella, finished by a sangria.
Vambah SillahNovember 30, 2014It feels like a portal to old San Juan. All of the patrons and the servers speak Spanish, and the ambience is authentic Puerto Rico.
Yasmin SanchezFebruary 29, 2016I tried the Alcapurias, churrasco, mofongo and of course, rice and beans. All were delicious
Amanda McNeilDecember 27, 2014Amazing flan! Delicious coconut shrimp. Good for large parties. Most of the spice is in the sauces.
Aku BetaOctober 8, 2012Very lively atmosphere, service was great, food was amazing. Would definitely comeback! Crab cake appetizers were incredible.
Desiree AlvarezJune 6, 2019The coquito martini is awesome but the Spanish rice, plantains, and chicken are the winners here.
A IbsDecember 7, 2016churrasco, plantains, quick and pleasant service. their chimichurri was great too.
Eve VanricanqueenNovember 16, 2014Love the place and food its like my mom cooking and Ppl were so friendly. Def would go again
Kelly LamasAugust 28, 2013Bistec a la jardinera and arroz con gandules is my go-to and can't be beat for that price!
Alex C.July 23, 2013Great date restaurant, really authentic Puerto Rican food. Try the 'pastellitos' !!!
Moit LasMarch 28, 2013Great food and great service..loved our waiter Victor, would definitely come here again.
Order the "mofongo de yuca con cerdo". Best mofongo ever!
A SSeptember 27, 2015Disappointing. This was my first time trying out the cuisine, and I found it bland.. nothing spectacular (paella and mofongo). The guava mojito was amazing though.
Steve AnJanuary 6, 2013Service here @vejitantes continues to be hit or miss. We had reservation at 8, waited til 9:30, left after getting repeatedly passed over, so much for being next in line... Just unacceptable.
- Steve AnJanuary 6, 2013We have reservation and waited an hour so far with no end in sight. Wish I had spoken Spanish, clearly would not have lost our place in queue. Hugely disappointing.
