Freddy & Tony's on front street is a neighborhood & city go-to for authentic Puerto Rican food. The take-out area is ALWAYS jam-packed! That's always a good sign when located in the middle of a Puerto Rican neighborhood where people can easily make many of recipes themselves. The food is DELICIOUS & AITHENTIC! I ordered for an event. They did not miss a beat!!! Just as good for catering 200 people as they are feeding a small family. AND they r great people who care about the community which always goes a long way in my book! Prices are fantastic! They're known for their roasted chicken, but everything is good! We had arroz con gandules, roasted chicken, pernil (roasted pork), morjellas/escebeche (dish of green bananas & chicken liver. Dont knock it til u try it. 1 of my favs!!), potato salad for 200 people! UNDER $1,500!!! Even the local politicians use them as a go-to. There are 2 locations ... 1 on Front and Indiana and one at 2nd & Allegheny. I think both are yummy, but everyone I speak with thinks the one on Front st is the best. They're both always packed. Either way, u cant go wrong. They've been in yhe community at the same spot for 50+ years for a reason!!!

They’re good at all the basics of Spanish food, prices are great, I can definitely feed my family of four for $30 and have leftovers, the tostones are really good, pork is solid, chicken is very good if you like rotisserie chicken, and all the basic side orders are above average and the servers are all very friendly, you can dine in as well.

This is by far the best Puerto Rican Restaurant in the tri-state area! I recommend going around lunch time for the freshest appetizers...

I have tried their food before (never breakfast though) and my family enjoyed it so we were expecting the same when we came looking for Puerto Rican breakfast. We had only been able to take out before (during COVID) but this time we saw a dine-in area which we were happy about. The area is a decent size, very clean and was comfortable (we were the only ones there) The lady serving us was very nice, food came out fairly quickly. Note that this establishment is cash only (I don’t remember if this was the case before it is now) but there is an ATM on site. We were lucky this time parking but I know from before this can be an issue. The breakfast was okay but I think their lunch/dinner menu items are better. The bacon was so good though (crispy, not salty) for both our dishes (bacon, egg, and cheese) and breakfast platter (egg white, bacon, guineos). We also had two coffees and two bottles of water and our bill was $23. I look forward to coming back for their fritura as I had them before!
