    Enjoying our delicious food
    Dulce P.

    Omg!!! To find a Spanish restaurant in Pa that doesn't hold back on flavor or seasoning!!! I will definitely be back to eat here. Definitely come check them out... cozy welcoming environment, great food, good music, fast service...

    I lived in the Heights in Manhattan for a couple of years. It's been a while since I've had authentic Dominican food and let me tell you this place is authentic. Incredible portion size, Quality food, great service are all things that make this a place to come visit. And if my white friends out there that are less adventurous, they have food you can try as well. By the way, I got a half chicken with tostones, a beef and cheese empanada, and a can of soda for $9.50. Crazy. Check out the pictures.

    Don't miss the turn off-

    Absolute love this place. In an awkward location off of a busy street and you can drive right past it if you didn't look. I found it by accident and decided to go in and grab a bite with my daughter. It's so cute inside, a welcoming atmosphere with great Latino music, reminded me of my Aunt's home. The food is cooked fresh and you won't be disappointed if you are craving some authentic Latino dishes. Prices were very reasonable and the portions are decent! Definitely will have to come back and try more items off the menu. The empanadas are delicious!!!!

    Cozy eatery serving tasty authentic Spanish cuisine. This place has lots of character and pride in their food and heritage. The empanadas are fresh and flaky. The mofongo is very flavorful. You can tell the food is made with lots of care.

    Food was great. Service was friendly but very slow. Music was too loud and the decór and flashing disco lights were a bit over the top.

    Me being the procrastinator that I am, I didn't leave work early enough, so I had to rush to get to…read morework on time. This means I didn't pack a lunch and I had to find something fast. My uncle used to be a resident in the Lancaster area, so I went to a place called Prince of Subs, which is known for their chicken wings and, of course, their subs--that's why it's in their name! When I arrived at Prince of Subs it was 11:30 PM at night and I asked for an order of 6 wings, but the guy said, "Let me check." I was surprised because it's a bar and they close at 1:30 in the morning, and of course, greasy food is the best thing to eat when you're drinking. Well, luckily they had six wings left. I asked for some fries and he said they ran out of fries. Me personally, I love some wings and fries. Can't forget about fish and chips, but that's more of a Dublin thing! I don't understand how a chicken spot bar that closes at 1:30 AM doesn't have fries ready, but that's just a story for another day. Because of that, I had to go to a second spot on my way to work. It was a food truck on the side of the road. It had lights so you could still see it, but it was kind of hidden. Come to find out, it's a hidden gem! I got some Dominican loaded fries which had shredded chicken, a bunch of different sauces, some peppers, and of course, fries. I was glad that I made this stop, but I pulled out my cash and I only had a $100 bill on me because it was Friday, it was payday, and I had cashed my check. The guy didn't have change, and so all I had was nine dollars in my pocket besides that one bill. I told him I would come back tomorrow evening. He had a surprised look on his face, but I said, "I work right down the road and I promise you I'll be back before I start work." He trusted me. I gave him my nine dollars and he said okay and gave me my food. As I walked away, it gave me a little bit more faith in humanity. It's amazing how someone that never even knew me, and never saw me before, actually trusted me to come back and give them cash to pay for my food. I did go there the next day and it was a warm welcome, of course. I paid him what I owed him with a little bit extra, only because he had faith in me coming back. I highly recommend this place! Being a truck driver, you always find good food spots along the road, and sometimes you find out if the food is really good or bad while you're going down the road, if you catch my drift. This place is very good; the food settled very well and I definitely give it a hard 4.5 out of 5, only because you cannot see the truck from the road. I hope my review helps you make your decision onto whether you want to eat at this location or not. I hope a college student sees this review as well, because it is right around the corner from Thaddeus Stevens! Branden-Lee AKA B L E E

The Dominican burger, as it's called, was just enough to whet my appetite ( no sides needed ), and I wouldn't ask the chef to change a thing. The ratio of bread to meat to sauce was properly balanced. I appreciate that he used thinly shredded red onions and lettuce in the sauce. Muy muy bueno! I have to admit that I was bugging out a little when I realized that the food truck is diagonal to the Lancaster County prison. I wasn't aware of that beforehand because I wasn't familiar with the area, and I didn't think about making a preorder for pickup. I was just trying to find some highly rated ethnic food on Yelp and just happened to stumble upon this listing. I was out there waiting for my food at 11pm for like 20 minutes. I wasn't scared or threatened... it was just a tad weird. the whole time I sat out in the park across the street from the cart I kept looking over my shoulder. The neighborhood Papi's were out there in full effect getting their late night grub. I also wished that the prices were listed on the menu. Someone posted a picture of the menu 4 years ago and chimis costed $5 each back then, but I paid $10 per Chimi. That's a helluva markup over a short span of time. On the bright side they do take cards unlike some other food trucks.

    Amazing spot! I want to give it 5 stars, but I'd like to try a few other places in town first…read morebefore deciding if this is truly the best. I'll definitely update my review once I do. The food was flavorful. I got the goat, and morcilla (blood sausage) and my partner got the beef, platanos, and yuca. His beef was fall-off-the-bone tender, platinum, and yuca was great. My goat was a bit chewy, and morcilla a bit dry, but still very tasty. I'd definitely come back to try their other à la carte dishes. There are so many choices even if I went back every day for lunch for a week, I still would not be able to sample all that they offer. I couldn't take a pic of my partner's plate as it was so good he inhaled all of it, I barely got any, and that's how you know his plate was amazing!! Service was awesome as well, the lady was so nice and helpful.

Staff was very comforting and served high heaping plates you can feed 2 people with one serving. Hope you try this place. I will be returning without hesitation.

LOCATION: This new location sits on the second floor of a building. Steps are pretty narrow, so I can't imagine the elderly being able to climb a flight and a half of steps to enjoy such delicacies. So the new location is absolutely beautiful and more fancy than their old location. I love the ambiance. I went there on a Saturday at approximately 4:00 p.m. and there was Zero clientele. It seems like this place may have lost a lot of customers due to the location being on the second floor, but I could be wrong. I'll be honest, very clean, well lit with many slits of skyline above. I love the decor it still reminds me of Old San Juan, along with the Spanish music playing in the background. FOOD: amazing as always, even though I was struggling because they removed one of my favorite dishes from the menu, which was ropa Vieja. You get a lot of food on your plate, and all of the dishes are very flavorful and cook to order. CUSTOMER SERVICE: I love how attentive the staff were even though we were the only ones in the place. The waitress is very knowledgeable about the dishes and extremely accommodating. I wanted something simple to drink like a lemonade, and they made me some from scratch, so I was so thankful. I would definitely recommend coming to this place if you're looking for authentic San Juan dishes
