    Great little spot on the Eastside of Bridgeport to get delicious Puerto Rican food. I love this place! Just a block away from our church, it's always busy with folks from all over BPT and surrounding towns.

    Whenever we have visitors from different states, or overseas countries this is the spot we take them. El Morivivi does not disappoint there fried food is appreciated by all of our guests.

    I ordered a potato ball stuffed with beef and to my surprise it was flavorless and the fried chicken was wayyy to salty.

    Located in Bridgeport, this tiny outpost is beloved by natives. Empanadas (chicken & cheese being my favorite) pinchos & accapurrias are my go to although you can easily order a delicious combo of arroz con gandules and various meats. Priced right and packed with flavor you can't get a better bang for your buck. I drive all the way from Seymour to satisfy my cravings, this place is numbero uno!

    If I could give this place 0 stars I would! Never again will I visit this place. My mother has lived in BPT all of her life and used always tell me that the owner is a rude bastard which is why she never goes there. My dad also said he stopped going years ago. Well I decided to go today and let me tell you, it takes A LOT to get me upset. I am half P.R. and half Ecuadorian. My husband is from Mexico. There are certain foods that are said differently in different countries and cultures. Well the owner pretty much went off on me because I ordered incorrectly. To be more specific,  I asked him for an order of chicharrones. In Mexican, Ecuadorian, Colombian etc. restaurants, that usually consists of pork meat with the skin attached. Well he basically yelled at me saying that it is "carne frita" and not "chicharron". I apologized and explained to him that it is sometimes referred to differently in other countries. He proceeded to tell me that we are in America and I needed to learn how to order correctly. I don't even want to go into how the rest of the argument ended. I informed him that I now understand why people refuse to go back to his restaurant. He stated that he was born with his attitude and will die with his attitude and if I didn't like it then I could go elsewhere. I will NEVER EVER step foot in that place again. He has zero sense of what respect is and to think that he prides himself on being a Christian. God does not like EVIL!

    This place is a classic in Bridgeport when it comes to Puerto Rican food. Anyone who has lived here has had an alcapurria or pastellio from here. This is traditional comfort food from the island. You can also get your traditional Goya juices in here as well. They have all the frituras you may want and then they also have the traditional meals-rice and beans and all other meals. Bottom line the food is good and the service is just as well. The owner is a great guy who has been there for years. The place is always clean and you are in and out in a hurry. The only drawback is that you can't sit and have your food there, it is mostly to go food.
