I observed that the clientele coming and going were Latin s I knew I had to try it. I was greeted and shown the case with the lunch special. I got a hearty serving of Spanish rice with beans, sautéed meat and creamy salad. See photo. In their defense I just assumed that Colombian food would be spicier. The food was tasty and the meat marinade was tangy. The best part was the dessert - Flan! A huge slice made perfectly! Sweet custard with a honey like thin coating. I enjoyed every bite of it. I would def try the empanadas when I'm in the area again- seeing that most reviewers rave about them. They didn't get a 5 star because nothing was written in English which left me floundering a bit

A group of us were heading out and I recommend we try this place, and THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The food was flavorful, well presented, and the Barbacoa was cooked perfectly!

Inside is a combination of cafe and bakery, with sweet items like cakes on one side, and a hot case of dominican style pastries on the other. We were drawn to the hot items this time, but our eyes kept wandering to the sweets and carrot cake. Next time we hope to eat in for the cafe sandwiches and delicious looking sweet treats. Service was super helpful - describing items we didn't know in detail. The pastelitos, cheese balls and everything we tried were amazing. I wish I could remember the name of one of my favorites which was a savory pastry ball with chicken but add a texture almost like short bread if that makes any sense. The cheese balls were quite different from what I am used to - a very different texture from Brazilian cheese balls and delicious. We noticed several people getting large platters of pastries and cakes all we were there so they seem to also do custom and catering orders. Definitely a place to check out for snacks, lunch, our tummies for a special event.

Hidden Gem and Unassuming is exactly how I'd describe El Criollo Restaurant in Dracut. Last night…read morewas date night with my two girlfriends and we met up with some of our foodie friends for another food adventure--this time, it took us to the Caribbean. Criollo is located in a small strip mall and doesn't look like much from the outside, but as soon as you open the doors you know you're in for a treat. The decor is polished and cozy with a nice bar area; the kitchen is semi-open so you can see the flames as your food is firing. They have fantastic Caribbean and Puerto Rican fare with beautiful, thoughtfully crafted cocktails. Everything was fantastic from start to finish. Here were some of the highlights: -Chicharron: crispy pork belly bites, need I say more -Alcapurria jueyes (Fried crab fritters): golden, crispy fritter with a crunchy exterior and soft, savory inside with flavorful crab filling. The fresh bites from the onion slaw were a nice touch with these. -Chicken empanadas: dip these in the pink sauce with a touch of their spicy sauce and you're in heaven. Slightly crisp and flaky exterior with a tender, chewy bite, perfect for holding the delicious filling. -Mofongo with shrimp and garlic sauce: if you've never tried garlic sauce on Mofongo, I highly suggest it. It's creamy and garlicky in all the right ways. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the Mofongo brought me right back to my trip to Puerto Rico where I first fell in love with it. -Churros: truly the best ones I ever had. It was a last minute add on because "why not!" and the best decision! We made reservations for 6:30pm and when we arrived it wasn't overly busy, but by the time we left every table was filled. And that's no surprise based on our experience.

I also like that they put their own little twist to a classic and make it their own. Like I said I haven't had anything that I haven't enjoyed so far. The fries are the lightly battered ones that are hands down the best kind of fries in my opinion but not easy to find in most places. The chicken pastelito has great flavor and the chicken is nice and juicy. The pastrami with egg is the way to go great flavors and the bread they use on the sandwiches are awesome. Perfect crunch bread holds up well no soggy bread here. I like how they press the sandwiches too. My personal favorite is the mount Zion. The best sandwich I've ever had hands down. This thing is massive and delicious from first bite to the last DELICIOUS. Value:5 These sandwiches are loaded and the size small is like a large from anywhere else. I'm afraid to order a large. The quality of the food is amazing and the quantity is outrageous too. Presentation:5 Sandwiches come nicely pressed with the grill marks. The meat is piping hot the cheese nice and melted. Everything just looks soooo tasty. Very nice and clean eating area. The multiple times I've been there I noticed as soon as customer leaves they wipe down the table and even the chairs. Service:5 Service is amazing they take care of you as soon as you come in the door. Get your order offer you a drink and they even bring the meal out to your table. Overall:5 This is a fine establishment it is now one of my favorite places in the area to eat at. Sandwiches are definitely a must but the rest of the menu is on my list as well. Can't wait to come back and try something new.
