The waitress was nice and helpful in getting the order the way we wanted it. I got the Bandeja Latina which is basically a skirt steak with rice beans and tostones. The meat and tostones were done amazingly well. The beans were not to my liking but still good. My husband got the NY strip steak in medium which came out medium well ( which is what he wanted always got to leave room for error). He said it was a great steak and cooked well. If you are in the area definitely stop by. NOTE: their menu prices are not updated on their menu so always ask.

This was our third visit to El Familiar. Today was Father's Day 2026…read more First, my daughter had made reservations for 15. They didn't hesitate. We showed up at 12:30 pm. We were seated almost immediately. The restaurant had just a few tables occupied. The restaurant was clean, quiet and our seating was spacious. We were promptly attended to. Second, we were given a Father's Day menu which was a very abbreviated version of their usual menu. Our server was quick to point out that if there was anything we wanted that was on the normal menu that we remembered, all we had to do was ask. We were delighted. We placed our drink orders. We were given plenty of time to review the menu and discuss what else we might want from the regular menu. We placed our orders. The wait for our meals was commensurate with the number of people. The food arrived piping hot. Everyone was served within minutes. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions enormous. I ordered 2 appetizers thinking they were going to be reasonable. I fed most of the table while still having enough for myself. Needless to say, to-go containers were necessary. Last, I want to say again that this was my and my wife's third visit. Each time we were served and attended to by Danna (?). I can't say enough positive things about her. She was attentive, friendly, warm, patient and very happy and helpful. She was very accepting even though I was doing my best with my high school Spanish. For my wife and me, I will ask for Danna to be our server and will be as much of a regular patron as possible. I would highly recommend El Familiar. You can't beat the ambiance, food quality and service.

After concluding an art class nearby, my friend and I visited this small but mighty bakery. It was…read morenear Mother's Day, so the aromas of all those baked and beautifully decorated Mother's Day cakes were plentiful. My friend spoke Spanish to the lady behind the counter, and we wanted something fruity. We were led to some baked treats, and we purchased Apple-filled turnover, cherry turnover, and a guava turnover. All the pastries were delicious. The crusts were flaky, but I wish the filling were more abundant. The fillings were not made from scratch, but it does scratch the itch. The next time I visit, I will be trying their sweet breads.

There are a few small tables available inside to sit and enjoy your baked goods. There's a language barrier (Spanish speaking), but as long as you point to what you what and tell the employee how many, you can get by. I was confused when I asked if they accepted Google Pay; she said yes but just stood there staring at me. It took me nearly 30-40 seconds of waiting to realize that I have to get my phone to the Google Pay screen and actually give her my phone for her to scan behind the counter instead of having the payment more accessible for me to scan it myself lol.

TLDR: Nice flavors in a low key spot…read more The food had a nice balance of heat, sweetness, and salt. Some of the pork was overcooked and hard though. The salad was fresh and crisp - a welcome addition to the rest of the rich plate. At $20 the plate was an ok value. The restaurant was bustling and low key. I would consider coming again, but with so many other restaurants in the area I'd probably try something else first.
