Softito is a charming restaurant located in New Windsor NY. They serve cuisine from Puerto Rico, and it is good . I had the Cuban sandwich, and for dessert I had coconut Flan. I had fried Plantains for the first time, and they were good! It was totally different as I am used to getting fries with lunch. Try them! It is handicap accessible, as is parking ????. The service was very nice and friendly.

Really amazing and authentic Puerto Rican restaurant! Food portions are huge and everything is super tasty from their sandwiches, their plates, to their appetizers. I hardly ever come across places that do something as simple as fried cheese, so I was absolutely delighted to have that here!

My family is Puerto Rican, so we are always happy to find authentic P.R. food. We ordered 2 types of empanadas or empanadillas, chicken and chorizo and plantain. Both were really good. The shell was nice and crispy. We also ordered mofongo with chicken chunks, it was really delicious. And the trifongo (which isn’t on the menu but they made it at my request), with camarones en salsa de ajillo or garlic sauce. These mofongos were my motivation to write this review. Hands down the best mofongo we’ve had in 7 years living in the area. The garlic sauce is fantastic. The reason I’m giving the food 4 ⭐ is because my shrimp was a bit salty. But everything else was great! We had an awesome server too who knew the menu well and was super kind.

By far the best Spanish restaurant around. The food consistently delicious everytime no matter if I take out or dine in. Their empanadas and tripleta fries are divine. Their sandwiches are perfectly portioned and flavorful, my personal favorite is the crispy glazed fried chicken sandwich. The service is also great! Very kind and attentive staff. I will definitely keep returning!
