Bella Isla Express 181 Washington Avenue, Chelsea, MA 02150

"I absolutely love this place. It’s a place away from home and the staff always makes you feel at home! The food is delicious with the Puerto Rican authentic sazón. Great for a quick lunch or dinner. There is ready to eat food- buffet style or you can order a la carte. Some of my favs pork chops (chuletas), roasted pork shoulder (pernil), and grilled chicken breast with onion and peppers (pollo asado en salsa)."

"If you’re craving Authentic Puerto Rican food, look no further than Bella Isla Express. They have the BEST pernil around. My go to is always pernil y arroz con gandules. The frituras, ensalada de papas, guisado never disappoint. Plus the tostones have the perfect amount of ajo …. Only thing missing is la playa. If you don’t feel like cooking definitely order catering and enjoy a home cooked meal they offer a great value. Thank you Rosa for being so helpful and patient with our large catering order."

"Awesome food, great staff & an out of this world experience where you feel you're actually on the island of Puerto Rico with how great the food is. They also do catering for events and holiday party's or family gatherings. Wonderful all around. Hats off to the chef! The arroz con gandulez is to die for. The seasonal pasteles are amazing and available for a limited time, so get your orders in NOW!!!"

"As soon as you enter the restaurant you feel the welcoming Caribbean ambiance with great Puerto Rican food selections. The service was excellent and undeniably meeting all points, such as, taste and options. If you are around Chelsea or close to it, I recommend to stop by and enjoy fresh food."

"Good and authentic. Generous portion. Parking in the area is challenging. It’s a takeout place, but there are a few seats."
