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.

Had the Pernil & Yellow rice with beans on the side and a plate of oxtail, smothering the rice with gravy from the steamy food table you can choose from many delectable entrees, priced very well and all the food you can see was fresh.

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.

The Camarón Salteado is my new favorite dish featuring Tostone cups filled with crunchy cooked peppers & onions topped with a nice size shrimp (extra shrimp were added in a small bowl on the serving platter). The Bistec Encebollado featured tender steak with a huge side of rice and beans. We finished with the homemade flan - delicioso! Of course we had left overs and even ordered Empanadas to go. The food is of such high quality that when reheated properly it tasted as fresh as when first served. We can't wait to return to this island themed restaurant. The staff are very friendly. The facility is absolutely spotless.

During my day trip to Lancaster Central Farmers Market, I visited the Southern Market Lancaster…read morefood hall for the first time, located in a historic building in downtown Lancaster. There is even a concierge there to answer any questions about services or restaurants, perhaps because the building once housed the Lancaster Visitors Center. A charming place with international cuisine, including Indian, Greek, Jamaican, Asian, and Moroccan, to name a few. The food hall is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Lancaster has plenty of affordable parking in the Hager lot or several parking garages. I find using a parking App helpful.

Overall, I'd give the food a 3.5 out of 5; the flavors felt kind of weak. I got Arroz blanco con habichuelas guisada (white rice and stewed Puerto Rican beans) con carne frita (fried pork fritter) and the portion was a good ammount 5/5 there too. I also got two empanadas: one pizza, one beef, and cheese--those were a major hit, 5/5! I will be going back in the future to try all the other options they have because there's a lot to try

I was not expecting to find several Puerto Rican restaurants in Lancaster PA, but that's exactly…read morewhat I found! El Jibarito has a window to order takeout from and a backyard area with tables if you want to eat onsite. I liked the casual vibe of this restaurant. My fella had a pernil sandwich that he said was one of the best he's had, and my friend had a pernil plate. I had the mofongo with shrimp. The shrimp were really good and I liked that the mofongo didn't have chicharron in it, although it was a little dry. Overall great meal and experience and it was nice to meet the owner who was a sweetheart. I watched a steady stream of customers come and go while I was there, so its safe to say El Jibarito is a popular eatery in Lancaster.

$12 for 3 big Pupusas with a variety of fillings. So tasty!…read more Exploring Lancaster from Seattle and stumbled upon this place. The staff are very friendly and are humorous folks to chat with! We tried their home made fruit juices (mango concoction) and they were pretty freshing. Large portions too. We also tried the steak dish that came with homemade tortilla. It's a tough decision between the steak and pupasas so just get both! Wish we lived closer, would definitely come here often if we could! (Got so excited with the food, forgot to take pics! Ugh)

Now, me being the true man that I am--with hair on my chest, a deep voice, and amazing muscles, can't forget about the skin of bronze--well, just like any man, I love a good sandwich. I got that Cuban sandwich this time, and I would never regret it. The layered meat with the cheese on top was to perfection. The outside of the bread had a crisp crunch, but yet it was soft on the inside. It wasn't too much meat, and it wasn't too much cheese; it was a perfect blend. Then, there was a special sauce--this sauce that they gave me along with the fries. I've had a lot of sauces over the years, and this was the best sauce I've ever had. And I've had a lot of sauces, and I know a lot of sauces, and all the sauces know me as well. I finished it off, of course, with a bottle of cola, because one day I hope to be like Warren Buffett and drink cola every day and hopefully become a billionaire. But until then, I will be constantly eating at this restaurant day in and day out. And of course, my next thing to try is the coffee, because I've noticed they had a beautiful coffee maker right behind the counter. I hope my review helps make your decision on whether you want to eat here or not. Branden-Lee AKA B L E E
