When driving up I was nervous about what to expect when I went inside. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised. It looked as though this place had recently undergone a remodel . It was clean and nicely decorated. My friend and l visited on a early Wednesday evening. We were seated immediately. After being seated it did take a little while for someone to take our order. But it wasn't too bad. The menu had a lot of appealing options. Only select items had prices on them. For appetizers we chose the oxtail empanada with cheese and the larger potato ball. Drinks we had mango margaritas which were on a happy hour specials for 5.99 ( Happy Hour is 11 a.m. to 9 p.m daily!) For dinner I had peril( roasted pork) with white rice and beans and sweet plantains. My friend had the roasted pork sandwiches between plantains. Pernil could have used more seasoning but was very tender 7/10 Potato ball- well seasoned, piping hot! 10/10 Mango Margarita 10/10 Oxtail empanada - not a lot of meat and kind of expensive for the size. $9.99. 6/10 Overall, I had a good experience and will definitely be back to try more items on the menu and another Margarita amd Potato ball.

I've been a lot of times and I will say the food is good. I have a Puerto Rican friend and I've…read morebeen spoiled by her cooking, so I will say La Yaroa is definitely not better than hers lol or dishes I've had in Puerto Rico. A lot of times I've went, they were out of stock out of a lot of dishes, so I whined up getting a lot of the same things. The grilled chicken they use is a chicken breast and every time I get this, it's been very dry. I recently had the Shrimp Trifongo and that was really good. The Trifongo consisted of 3 starches: mashed yuca, sweet plantain (maduros), and green plantain. The sweetness of the maduros gives a great touch. I guess this will be my go to dish here!

Theres another popular PR spot around here that a lot of people like but honestly that one doesn't stand a chance next to Borincano, they other one is grease central. The chicharon de pollo is great, the chuleta, churrasco and the sorullitos!!! That stands the real test,the sorullitos were crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside!!!

I had been wanting to try this place for months after seeing it all over social media and hearing…read moreall the amazing reviews. So on a Thursday evening l picked up 2 combo specials from Capicu. It was Buy one get one free. Each combo was 22 dollars. I ordered off of the website for pick up. l ordered the Pernil (roasted pork) with white rice, beans and sweet plantains and my second combo was the pollo asado with rice with pigeon peas and tostones . On my way to pick up i got a call stating that they were out of the chicken (totally understandable since it was close to closing time ) So I opted for the beef empanadas. I appreciate the customer service of them calling me before I got there and giving me different options. Upon arrival I was uncomfortable with the smell. Not sure if it was old oil and grease but it was pleasant. I received my food (which was so plentiful when I checked in the car.) However , the smell of the food , was as if the oil that it was prepared with was old. Not pleasant at all. Smelled up my entire car. Finally home to taste the peril was just okay 4/10 it tasted old and like it in fact had been prepared or reheated with dirty oil. The sides and empanadas were not bad. 7/10

Last month, I ordered takeout from this spot that's been frequented from Sophia and myself. The…read moreboth of us were never disappointed with our meals. Pre-pandemic, this was a place where we would have dine-in visits with friends of ours from a social group or just the two of us. It was probably close to a year since we last appeared so it was time to stop by. Similiar to the past visits, I called in our orders. They greeted me promptly when I walked in where there was only one table occupied. Quick and easy. For our orders, which both served as dinner and lunch for work at our respective sites, we chose their Cubano sandwich with our usual sides (fries for myself and plantains for Sophia). As always, the sandwich was pretty good packed with ham and roasted pork, pickles, cheese and mustard (both had no mayo). I would've liked for more fries in the box, but I had enough for both servings. La Pena Horeb came through once again. You know I'll be ordering takeout from here down the road. Till next time :)

I do want to next time I see the truck! So Filipinos have their own version of empanada with the biggest difference being the doughnut. Ours is thicker these are flaky and light and fried. Always good when things are fried! I really like the chicken (could really taste the adobo powder yum!) And the cheese. Very "pully" which i like. Lol the ground beef....hmmmm....not a big fan. I would have loved to taste an empanada with peril in it. Overall not bad though. I woukd definitely get it again! And next time try the alcapurrias.

However, of the things I have tried so far, it's hard for me to get other things when I go. I've tried five things on their menu and I'm kind of stuck there!

The menu at the window shows exactly what they are selling for the day. They prefer card (with very good reason since COVID started)! They primarily communicate their truck location on the Instagram & recently started testing mobile orders (which I think is AMAZING). I typically rotate between the taco bowl & the steak/chicken tacos w/ no hot sauce (I'm a wimp when it comes to any heat- so give it a try for yourself if you like a little temp). I typically eat here everyday for lunch on Langley minus Wednesday's (because they are not on base that day LOL)! Not only is the food phenomenal but the owners are pretty great also! Do yourself a favor & check out Jabellz, I promise you won't be disappointed!
