if you are looking for outstanding Puerto Rican food, or really outstanding food, look no further, this is the place for you. If you are wondering how Puerto Rican food is, or better yet, if you would like to try different and outstanding food from the Caribbean and beyond, La Fabrica Central delivers. There are a couple of "Puerto Rican" restaurants in the Boston area, but La Fabrica Central is the only one that captures de right essence of real Puerto Rican food. Add to that the creativity of renown Chef Giovanna Huyke, and you have the perfect combination for a memorable meal. If you have never done it, try the Puerto Rican national dish, the mofongo, and I assure you that you will fall in love with it. I am a native of Puerto Rico and I know what good Puerto Rican food is. And what you can find at La Fabrica is as good as anything that you can find, even in the Island of Puerto Rico. Chef Giovanna adds her personal touch to make perfection. You can find not only Puerto Rican flavors, but also flavors Caribbean flavors from Cuba, Dominican Republic and even Peru. Please try it. You won't regret.

1st time, it is a little pricy, but it’ll be worth it. The food was amazing. I love the presentation. The drinks were awesome as well. We were a group of 5 and did the outdoor seating… which was nice, very nice decor…, Next time will do the indoors, the ambiance was very nice. The music was very good, and also the decor was lovely.

We had reservations for out-of-doors. There is a lovely alley beside the restaurant, which they have decorated nicely with plants and bushes, but when we arrived (on time) we were told that we had to sit on the front patio, next to the traffic. we didn't choose to do that. Instead we sat inside, which is dark and a little dingy. We weren't pleased.

I enjoyed birthday brunch with my loved ones and the chef was so sweet!! I wish I caught her name. She came out to apologize for not having a dish available that my friend orderer. That was so unexpected! Going above & beyond appreciated! She also recommended the cheesecake was a nice change from the desserts I typically order. The Sangria w/ Passoa was so good but also unexpectedly strong lol. I've dined many times and have always enjoyed my experience, I appreciate their consistency.

Service was extremely slow. The food was cold. The rice and bean dish that I ordered had cold rice and lukewarm beans. No one bothered to check in to see if everything was satisfactory nor it I needed anything else. I had to wait over 30 minutes for a simple desert if flan.

It was a lovely Caribbean spot. The two top i sat at was comfortable with plenty of space from the other diners without feeling isolated. The decorations where nice without being distracting and the atmosphere was comfortable. The food was good, my friend is vegan and while she chose to have the avocado salad she could have chosen a couple of other options, which is impressive considering the cuisine. I had mofungo, something i had never had before, and found it wonderful. Towards the end of dinner a band started playing in the bar room, this was on a Friday evening, and while it was loud i was still able to carry a conversation easily in the other room. Overall a nice spot for a friday night whether you want to sit by the bar and listen to the music or plan to get together with friends or a date.

I celebrated my birthday there yesterday. Pros: 1) guava mojito mocktail was great! I think the folks who had alcohol based drinks liked it from the table 2) the queso frito and plátano rolls were good. The beef empanadas were ok for the most part. Some of us enjoyed the small plates better than the large to be honest. 3) the live music in the front was great. Cons: 1) our waiter Alex wasn't attentive - and he was short. My brother in law had asked for a drink and all he kept saying is that he could not find x or y instead of saying what he could do. He also was short with me at one point that I'm like hey it's my birthday come on and again I said calmly. Also, the happy birthday flan was brought out when my mom + friend were in the bathroom, like come on, pay better attention. There were times we literally were like where is he? He also had gotten a little attitude when I had asked for his name and he reiterated that he had said initially when introducing himself to the table. The group I came with was pretty patient at that. I would’ve thought that since I booked the reservation indicating it was for a birthday there would’ve been better preparation. 2) when coming into the restaurant the woman (who also had the scheduling) dropped the news of a time limit which I had no idea about. My sister was able to follow up on the matter but this is a bit ridiculous 3) the passion fruit salmon is good but was too overpriced for the amount of salmon provided and a few skinny asparagus pieces. 4) I wish that there would've been an announcement of my birthday by the live speaker at the front. 5) some of the main plates lacked as much flavor from the red snapper among a few at the table

I was very disappointed in the food, 3 of our 4 orders were dry and at room temperature. Our eggs were all over cooked and generally not enjoyable. I was very surprised given our first meal there was outstanding! I treated my sons and husband for Father’s Day brunch and felt I overpaid for an unsatisfactory meal. Not sure I would come back after I raved about our previous meal.
