Tico's Place 394 Franklin Avenue, Hartford, CT 06114

"Came here with my PR boss/friend for some authentic PR food. This place did not disappoint. My spanish is terrible but I had the PR rice and steak with pickled onions and plantain maduros. My friend had similar but white rice and beans. We also had some fried things, one was potato and beef and the other was something made with plantains. Also tried the roasted pork mofungo. The passion fruit juice was awesome as well. Overall this place had great service(for my friend). This would be a bit harder to order here without knowing Spanish/having someone with you who knows what everything is. Thanks everyone!"

"I ordered my food online. I went there on my lunch break stood up for the entire time, waiting for the food only to be told that the food wasn’t being prepared and they just had me there standing the whole time without any explanation that the food was delayed. I was then offered some dried up chicken that was already there and prepared from earlier. Ruined my entire lunch will never go back. Disgusting"

"Ticos is arguably the best Puerto Rican restaurant in Hartford. DEFINITELY my favorite! The food is always amazing, try the pork & plantain pinchos. Over the past 8 years I've been a satisfied customer of there's. The staff has changed but the owner is the sweetest lady & her dedication to a clean restaurant & top quality food is more than admirable. I tried the blood sausage once, a dish I wouldn't try if I didn't trust the restaurant. I was surprised by how good it was. Don't forget dessert! Their oreo cake is LEGENDARY. They have an excellent parking lot too, not always easy to find parking in Hartford."

"Visited for lunch. Parking lot to the left of the building. Staff was friendly. Portion size was average. Pricing was fair. The pernil was good, as pernil should be. The rice was a bit different than was was expected. Not a fan. Did not like the beef patty either. There are a few tables inside to sit and eat."

"Very great and polite service, the restaurant employees take all precautions to avoid covid contamination, the food is delicious and definitely worth coming back to, i had two rellenos de papa and two Alcapurrias de yuca. Highly recommend. They also have grubhub for deliveries!"
