I was looking for cuchifritos, Puerto Rican fritters because I wanted greasy food, went to a place called El Chevere in Harlem 2000 3rd Ave and found Hay Bendito! Instead not sure if they changed the name but it didn’t look as clean as the pictures I saw for El Chevere. Anyway I ordered food and must say the pastelillos were good. The Bacalaito was way too oily, alcapuria was okay but they don’t make alcapurias de guineo. The pionono was okay. Not sure if I would come back. I felt bamboozled by the name. - Vanessa Rodriguez
