The beef and cheese empanada was my only complaint; although it's beef and cheese, I felt like it didn't have any cheese. But everything else was top-tier, and the portion sizes were on point. I spent 25 dollars for everything, and aside from the empanada, everything was worth every penny.

The service and the food is great would recommend this place to a lot of people I know.read more

The pros: cute little place, staff was friendly and the yuca fries were perfectly crispy. Cons: flavor?!? The sauce for yuca fries seemed to be a ketchup/mayo for the fries was to much mayo to ketchup ratio. The carne asada tacos was meat with 2 strips of peppers on top. The meat was very one noted and the sauce was bland as well. No fresh herbs or spices in site. Disappointed

Now, as a Pennsylvanian, you normally run into people who say, "Oh, I hate this hot weather," and then in the winter, they say, "Oh, I hate this cold weather," as if they haven't lived in PA their entire lives! But doing all this hard work to prepare for the wintertime here in PA worked up an appetite, so I decided to head down to Rice & Beans in Harrisburg. As soon as you walk in, you're welcomed by decor that teleports you right into the heart of the Dominican Republic. The staff is very friendly, the bathrooms are super clean, and so is the rest of the establishment. Parking is a little tight, but the indoor seating makes up for it. Rice & Beans Restaurant Now let's get to the best part: the food! You're able to see everything before you order, which is great. This time, I got myself some rice and beans, of course, along with some bistec. The rice and beans were a little dry at first, but the more I ate, the better they got! I paired my meal with a cola. Although I didn't get dessert, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the wonderful food. I would definitely go back and eat here again because I like seeing what I'm getting--it makes it super easy to pick out what I want, especially if your taste buds aren't super adventurous. I hope my review helps you figure out where to eat next. Feel free to check out my YouTube channel (@brandenleebutler) for more reviews!

The rice and brown beans is great, too, along with even their basic salad, homemade juices, and sodas (I strongly recommend the raspberry soda, which is 95% of your daily intake of sugar but worth it). I recommend ringing their bell at the front and asking the cook to give you samples of items you're unfamiliar with, which she did for me. They are a really friendly duo and take pride in their Dominican food (the only place I know of that has it in Western Pennsylvania).

Sadly they were closed (permanently?!). I'll always have the memories. But, like they say, when one door closes another one opens. El Castro reasonably satisfied my craving for Latin food. I had the cubed steak with yellow rice and beans. It's a solid 7/10 flavor wise. I did notice that they really load up on the rice so perhaps you won't notice that they're going easy on the protein. It took a good while longer than the 10 minutes I was quoted for the food to come out even though it wasn't especially busy. Nevertheless, it's a solid choice if you are craving Latin food. It's no Mi Caldero but you could do worse.

Checked on everyone and chatted with us. Food was super delicious and reminded my husband of DR food he hasn't had in a while in NY. Chef is inspiring with his passion for cuisines and innovation. He told us for every event, e.g. food trucks festivals, he comes up with unique dishes not on the regular menu. My only complaint was the restaurant was cold as if there was no heat. People kept their coats and jackets on. It's not a huge problem but if there's anything to improve, that would be my suggestion, especially in the winter. Already recommended the restaurant to others!

They gave two sauces with it. One was a sweeter type of spicy sauce and one was avocado with like a side cake I like the sweeter one a lot better, especially with the flavors of the rice.

My order only came out to about 13 bucks and it was a lot of food for 13 bucks so I think it was very satisfying. I'll definitely go there again and I'll be definitely getting this multiple times. The outside area of the place also look nice and I can tell that they probably put our chairs in that area for people to sit in the evenings when it's more of a sit down restaurant.

The star of this show is the Guava and Cheese Empanadas. I am having dreams about them. Seriously. Unbelievably delicious. I want to support this business so it stays in business. It's so nice to have something local other than pizza.
