Years later, and the food is still what keeps bringing us back!…read more My husband is on vacation this week, so we headed to El Pollo Colorao for lunch today as a party of four. We've been eating here for years, and while we love supporting local, enjoy the atmosphere, and have always found the staff friendly, let's be honest -- the food is why we keep coming back. We arrived around 1:30 and had two groups ahead of us at the counter, but the line moved quickly. In fact, there was a pretty steady line the entire time we were there, right up until we left around 2:30. Their takeout business was hopping too! Despite how busy they were, we had no problem finding a table in the dining room. I decided to branch out this visit and tried the #14 Pernil Sandwich with yellow rice. The sandwich has roasted pork and potato straws on their delicious bread, and my first comment after taking a bite was about how flavorful the pork was. It was tender and juicy, and I loved the contrast of the crunchy potato straws with the pork and that soft, slightly sweet bread. So good! Two people in our group ordered the #2 Tripleta, one with yellow rice and the other with yuca. The Tripleta is actually the favorite sandwich of all three of my family members. They love the combination of meats along with the crunch from the potato straws. My husband is normally firmly on Team Tripleta too, but decided to branch out and order the Mediodia this time. We were told when ordering that it would take about 30 minutes and were given the option to change his order, which I appreciated. He decided to wait and was glad he tried it. He enjoyed it, but since he tends to prefer savory over sweet, I have a feeling he'll be right back to his beloved Tripleta next time. And, as always, he got his favorite side -- the maduros. Yum! When everything was ready, they brought our food and drinks right to the table on a tray. The gentleman who took our order was very personable, and Abel came over to our table while we were eating. He recognized my husband and remembered his name -- which really impressed me considering it has probably been about a year since our last visit. And can we talk about the value? We spent about $60 for four meals with sides, three drinks AND a bag containing two loaves of their bread to take home. Yes, we buy the bread every time. It's that good. Even better, the portions are so generous that everyone took about half of their sandwich home for dinner. They definitely don't skimp on the meat here, so you fill up quickly. The dining area is comfortable and has some fun, whimsical artwork that gives the place plenty of personality. They also have a nice assortment of drink options and seating by the windows for customers waiting on takeout orders, which seems to help keep the dining tables available even when they're busy. After all these years and multiple visits, El Pollo Colorao continues to earn 5 stars from us. Great food, generous portions, good value, friendly people, and a locally owned restaurant we're happy to continue supporting.

Excellentemente! Let me tell you! To die for!!!…read more This place is cute with the fun famous caricature Puerto Rican celebrities by an award winning artist. Their pics are on the wall and their story of the celebrities are on the napkin holders. Now you will find Puerto Rican rotisserie chicken - moist and tasty. Not dry! You will find other excellent Puerto Rican fare here - roasted pork, mofongo, trifongo, empanadas, alcapurrias, rice con gandules. We ordered a 1/2 chicken entree with sweet plantains. Our other entree is their pastelon. This is a must try. It's sweet plantain lasagna. Instead of noodles it's sweet plantains. Sweet and savory heaven here. You pick the two sides. I picked yuca with mojo(I ordered this for my hubby) along with it, sweet plantains. So good and so big and great price. They also give you some yummy samples - bread pudding and another pudding with coquito l. They also sell coquito which is the traditional coconut liquor drink to die for, served at Christmas Service is A+!!! Friendly, Helpful, Engaging!!! So glad we came here!!

I still remember my very first taco…read more It was 1971, just after I moved to East Gary, Indiana. I had made a couple of friends at school, and one day they took me to a small Mexican fast food place called Arman's. I had never had a taco before. I didn't even know what one was. They ordered for me. That first bite changed everything. It was spicy, full of flavor, and unlike anything I had ever tasted. I couldn't stop eating them. Back then, tacos were under fifty cents, so I went as often as I could afford. That taste stayed with me. Fast forward to a couple of years ago when I discovered A1A Burrito Works. I walked in, and to be honest, the decor didn't impress me. But I wasn't there for ambiance. I ordered two tacos to go and headed back to my car. That's where everything changed. I tried to eat while driving. That was a mistake. These tacos were massive, packed with meat, lettuce, and everything that comes with "The Works." I had to pull over just to properly enjoy them. And then it hit me. One bite took me straight back to 1971. After decades of eating tacos all over the place, these were the first ones that brought that feeling back. The same bold flavor. The same satisfaction. The same experience I never forgot. Since then, I don't go anywhere else for tacos. If you care about flashy interiors, this might not be your place. But if you care about real flavor, generous portions, and food that actually leaves an impression, this is it. For me, A1A Burrito Works isn't just another taco spot. It's a time machine.

Went to Bunnell on a little day trip recently to go antiquing, and discovered this gem! Melina's…read moreused to be in Daytona Beach and also apparently had a food truck in Bunnell but this location has been open for over 3 months now. The service was great (not many people dining in that afternoon but tons of walk-in traffic with takeout orders. There were a few items on the menu we were not familiar with, and the owner was happy to explain everything. Lovely interior - ode to Puerto Rico! Hubs and I shared a relleno de papa (I could have eaten a dozen, so good!), yucca fries, a beef & cheese empanada, a chicken & cheese empanada, and despite being stuffed had to try a guava and cheese empanada. All delicious, flavorful and fresh! Also loved the mayoketchup sauce!

I was warmly greeted by the hospitable owner who shared a bit about the menu as well as the business! As I looked around, the fun selfie-room caught my interest! I sat in there, relaxed and took a few pics while I waited for my freshly prepared order. The owner was kind enough to take a picture for me too! My favorite thing about the room was the relaxing sound of the ocean that coordinated with the beach backdrop! There's also a replica of Puerto Rico's Umbrella Street found in San Juan. Colorful, vibrant umbrellas are hung to create a canopy. I like that the vibe of this restaurant has all of these nods to PR! I ordered both spinach & cheese and beef & cheese empanadas. I added a side of yuca fries. My meal was hot, fresh, and tasty! What more can one ask for! The empanadas were flaky and crispy while the fillings were seasoned perfectly. If you like Spinach, definitely try the spinach & cheese empanada with it's notes of garlic! It was delicious! The beef filling is unique and tasty. You can tell that the items were made with care and attention to detail, right down to the plating! I ordered take-out, so everything was packaged neatly! I must comment on the yuca fries... I was pleasantly surprised because they weren't so starchy as ones I've had in the past. Instead, they were flavorful, fluffy on the inside, and crispy on the outside with a slight dusting of seasoning. They were delicious! Hurry here for authentic Puerto Rican empanadas with a unique twist!

I have to be honest, we were trying to get into a restaurant down the street and when we got there,…read morethere was an hour long wait and we decided not to eat there. It was clearly a hotspot that everybody loved. So we started wandering down the street and just came up upon this place. Now, I live my life by the phrase "sex is like Pizza, even if it's bad it's still pretty good." But I have to say this pizza was delicious. It far exceed my expectations. It was a thick crust and locally sourced ingredients. It was fresh, the sauce had a great flavor. They even had things like dipping sauces like a hot honey sauce, which was fantastic. One of my daughters had a shrimp Caesar salad salad that she said was amazing. (warning: it's raw shrimp, not grilled or anything which is fantastic, but just so you know). My other daughter had lasagna and she said it was delicious. I had the pepperoni pizza and my wife had the ham and cheese pizza. With some crushed red pepper and hot honey sauce I ate every bit of it. Also, they had delirium beer, which helped wash it down perfectly. Five stars? I give it six or seven if I could. I'll be back soon. Anytime we come to this area. I will definitely be here. You may have to map it to this place though, there's no signage outside, but you could see the glow of the blue light logo on the inside. Don't miss it.

Many moons ago, my hubby and I found this unique restaurant. At the time, it was under new…read moremanagement. We ordered one of their pizzas that we totally enjoyed, and thought we would return. Today's visit was a surprisingly wonderful experience for me and a friend. It was her first time joining me for lunch. As you enter, there was a bit of a wait before being seated. Normally, this wouldn't have mattered too much, however we were very hungry. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, minimalistic, and very clean. I know that sounds a little strange since everything looked nearly new as if the eatery recently opened. The view of the ocean can be seen through the full length glass windows. It should be mentioned that there is outdoor seating as well. One of customers had a charcuterie board filled with so many appetizing delights. Not only was it pleasant to look at, the selections included three types of cheeses, olives, chickpeas, sweet grapes, and more. So delish to see and eat! We ordered one and it truly did not disappoint. The name? The Faro Charcuterie Board. It's a great starter! I had the Grilled Cheese and Pesto Panini that fit right in with the charcuterie. Everything was so delectable and pleasing to the eye. My friend had the lasagna that she thoroughly enjoyed. She said that having the white sauce instead of tomato was new. She mentioned that it was seasoned perfectly. She, too, enjoyed the board and had Brie for the first time. The service initially was okay. Our server was new to being part of the serving aspects. We were fine but we knew she had more to learn. Our second server, Isabella, was great! We had taken the time to enjoy our meals and even had enough to take home. We will definitely become repeat customers! Give Isabella a shoutout when you check out FARO! Enjoy!
