The food is definitely incredible. I used to come here a lot about a year ago, but I’ve been trying to try as many new places as possible, which is why I haven’t been back in a while. I’ve been craving their food recently, and since they close at 7 pm, it was a good day to order. I tried their rellenos de papas, pastelitos/empanadas, BYO small bowl with maduros, pollo guisado, rice, and peas, as well as the tres leches.

Secretos is a Puerto Rican restaurant conveniently located near downtown. Since I wanted to try something different, I had a taste for some Caribbean food. The location is walking distance from my job, so I was able to place an order online then pick up the order once it’s ready. Most of the dishes here are delicious. The only thing I have a problem with is how they fry their Maduro (plantains). Every time I order the Maduro they cook them black. Fried Maduro is not supposed to be black. They taste like they’re cooked in reused grease. I even asked to have the plantains cooked in fresh grease but they were still cooked black on more than 1 occasion. As a foodie who travels, my experience eating food on the island was completely different. The whole meal including the plantains were cooked in fresh oil and served exceptionally. Here it’s a different experience. Before I got a make your own bowl with pollo (chicken) rice and peas, and fried plantains. The plantains were dark. This time I ordered the 3 tacos special with 1 side. When it comes to tacos, rice should be optional. It was not an option for the special. Madurai (fried plantains), tostones(twice fried plantains ) yuca frites (fries) and salad were the only options on the menu for the special. I didn’t want to order plantains from here again because they would not be cooked to a golden brown, but that’s normally my second option with island food. The tacos were good but the plantains could’ve been cooked with more care and new cooking oil. Here are photos below. I suggest that management has a discussion and retrains their team on how often to change the oil before frying certain foods. You can see and taste the difference between food cooked with old grease and newly changed vegetable oil.

Fantastic Puerto Rican Food! We had the pleasure of having an event catered in the past and can’t say enough great things about the food and the service. So when we had family in town to visit, we took them out to eat at Secretos. We will continue to support this restaurant and Felipe (the owner) every chance we get.

Small tucked away on Fifth Ave is this amazing Puerto Rican eatery. Build your own meal consists of a base, a protein and a side.

Secretos de Mis Abuelos now has a small restaurant now in Uptown up from the arena. I’ve been to the food truck and it was very good but a little out of the way from where I live. The restaurant seems to have a larger standard menu with entrees. My wife and I went for take out hoping for the best not knowing how the change would be from food truck to restaurant. I ordered the Mofongo with Camerones guisados and maduros and my wife ordered the pernil, arroz con gandules and tostones. Everything was delicious. I haven’t had Mofongo since I was last in Puerto Rico in 2018. It was fantastic and was more than enough to fill me up. Whenever I’m in PR, I think I eat Mofongo just about every day that I can. His made me think I was in the island if not for the temperature outside. The pernil was excellent and the arroz con gandules was the closest to my mother in law’s that I’ve had outside of PR. We will certainly be back.

I grew up in Puerto Rico as a child and have been yearning for some food from my youth for MANY years. When I first heard that Secretos was opening up in Pittsburgh, not far from me, I was SO excited. Ordered dinner tonight for my mom, wife and me tonight and…it was so amazingly authentic and nostalgic that we almost cried happy tears. Between the pastelillos, mofongo, pernil, pollo guisado, tostones, maduros, rice and red beans…OMG…so satisfying. If you’ve never tried Puerto Rican food, or haven’t had it in a while, now is the time. You won’t be disappointed.

I love the ambiance of the establishment. Front desk person, Kevin was friendly and helpful with order suggestions. The food was so tasty and flavorful! Portion size of my order fit the price. Authentic PR cuisine is absolutely delicious! I can taste the freshness of the ingredients used in my meal. I don’t know what that green stuff was on the side of my meal but my goodness was it so good! Definitely makes you want more! I will certainly be a happy returning customer!

As soon as I took a bite of the pollo guisado it took me home! It reminded so much of my mom’s! Truly authentic Puerto Rican food with a great staff to complement it! We felt so welcomed. Not to mention the place was very clean! Highly recommend to anyone!

Authentic Puerto Rican food just minutes from Duquesne University. We had the “create your own” where you can pick from a preparation of Arroz con Habichuela, Arroz con Gandules, or Mofongo (rice and pink beans / rice and pigeon peas / smashed plantains shaped into a bowl, respectively) then add your protein like pork, shrimp, chicken, or steak lastly, you pick a side. I got the Mofongo with carne frita, and Madurai. It was delicious and just like my wife’s Puerto Rican grandmother made! Definitely hitting this place up again.
