Nellie’s Restaurant is a cozy gem where you can enjoy lovely Puerto Rican comfort food! 🌟
We visited for brunch and sampled a variety of dishes. The **Avena de Coco** was a delightful, sweet start, infused with cinnamon. The **Jibarito Bowl with Steak** was a highlight - tender steak paired with flavorful rice, though I craved a bit more garlic!
While I found the **Nellie's Breakfast Special** a tad bland, the toasted bread was fantastic. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for families. I can’t wait to try their weekend brunch buffet! 🍽️
