Fabi's Restaurant & Coffee Shop

The place and the service were very very good and that is the reason why this review is 4 stars and not less; unfortunately the food was very disappointing to our party of 3.
We had the tripleta sandwiches and the papa locas and they were just not up to par.
If the food betters this place can be a 5 star spot! The decorations and place have character and you can tell there is plenty of love put into it.
I hope to update my review in the future with a 5 star review if the food gets better.

I can't believe I had to come all the way to New Haven to get good Puerto Rican food. I got a recommendation to try this place out.
I'm glad I did.
It has a complete PR feel.
The owner greeted me as I came through the door.
Everything looked amazing.
I just hope it tastes as it looks. There are so many choices.
Everything is fresh and made to order, pretty much.
I ordered the rice and beans and Carne Frita. This place just happened, he told me.
He had been coming here since he was a young man.
They left the island and ended up here for good.
He decided to open up a restaurant with his wife.
This place is authentic.
The meals are mix and match.
Anyway you want them.
People came in asking for different combinations, and there was never an issue.
You want beans on the rice and gandules? OK.
Whatever you want, they will try and serve.
The prices are awesome for the amount of food they give you. For dessert, I got a quesito.
It brought me right back to the islands.
The whole meal was excellent.
The service is outstanding.
The whole place gives you a feel of the islands.
Everybody who came in while I was there seemed excited to order and eat.
I loved it so much that I came back the next morning for coffee and a pastry. I recommend.

First time coming here with my husband.
Absolutely loved this place.
Their food, delicious.
We ordered the Mofongo con camarones and ensalada de pulpo….
Delicious! Also left there with Sancocho, quesitos y pastelillos.
Riquísimos!! The staff is very attentive and super sweet.
We loved and will come again.
