Friday night in Harrisburg, and Los Tres Cubanos was already buzzing by 5 p.m. (pro tip: they open…read moreat 4 -- make a reservation if you want inside seating). We rolled in without one but happily claimed a little café table outside. The weather was warm, the cocktails were cold, and our waitress checked in often enough that our glasses never sat empty for long. We kicked things off with the beef empanadas ($9 for two big ones) and -- oh my goodness -- these were dream-level empanadas. Golden-brown, fried crisp on the outside yet soft and tender inside, stuffed with simply seasoned, flavorful ground beef. The tangy-sweet red sauce they came with was the perfect co-star. I'd come back for these alone. Cocktails ran about $12 each. I had the Havana Special (fresh pineapple juice, Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, and Cruzan Rum) -- tropical, bright, and just sweet enough. My adventure buddy ordered the Canchanchara (honey, lime, rum, and chilled water -- said to be Cuba's oldest cocktail), which was refreshing and citrusy, perfect for a summer night. For dinner, I went for the Camarones Enchilados ($27) -- Cuban-style shrimp in Creole sauce with white rice and sweet fried plantains. Generous serving of perfectly cooked shrimp in a savory tomato-based sauce with diced peppers, onion, and garlic... I brought half home, but not before finishing every last plantain. The sauce was light but packed with flavor, and the rice soaked it up like a champ. Adventure buddy ordered the Cuban Fried Rice ($25) -- shrimp, ham, chicken, and sweet plantain all fried together, topped with an egg. The rice had that crispy-but-soft magic, the proteins were tender and flavorful, and while he wished the egg had been runny, it was still well-executed. Another giant portion, another take-home box. Our bill for two was about $100, and every dollar felt well spent. Los Tres Cubanos is tucked just outside the hustle of downtown, which makes it easy to miss -- but don't. Between the authentic flavors, generous portions, and charming atmosphere, it's worth seeking out. And bonus: you can stroll the nearby Susquehanna River Walk afterward to justify ordering that second empanada next time.

Tasted so good. They import the cheese from Venezuela! The tequeños were good. Tasted like the ones from panaderías in Caracas. My son and husband approved of the empanadas. The crust was crunchy and crispy. And filling was seasoned well. If you're in the area, this is a must try. You will not be disappointed. I wish they would move to northern Virginia.

It's been about a year since we were at Thea's so we decided to dine there again for our 10th…read moreanniversary. And again, the experience was absolute heaven. AnneMarie actually remembered us from last year and came out to check on us several times. This time I had the veal saltimbocca, the Mrs. had the crab cakes, and the son had the shrimp and pasta. All of these were the best we've ever had. In my humble opinion AnneMarie is the best chef in the world and one of the kindest people on this planet. She had even written a happy anniversary card for us. Our server, Fotini, was excellent as well. Friendly, professional, and took very good care of us. And dessert, gadzooks! AnneMarie put the raspberry cheesecake on a large platter and spelled out Happy Anniversary in the raspberry sauce (see photo). The son and I had the peanut butter oreo pie. All are fantastic. I'd give her ten stars if I could. I cannot recommend Thea enough. If you visit Mechanicsburg you've GOT to dine at Thea. The best food and the best service. Thank you, AnneMarie for making our anniversary special.

My reviews are different. I do not announce myself or tell anyone. I am here to do a review!!…read more As I find myself driving a semi-truck, those long stretches on the road always work up an appetite. Since changing my diet and becoming more of a fitness fanatic -- nothing like the Philly Fanatic, but close -- I've been more selective about what I eat. Still, Philadelphia holds a special place in my heart, and when I got off the road and I was craving a cheesesteak. I couldn't find a good cheesesteak spot in the Harrisburg area. I remembered the place off 13th Street, but they no longer sell cheesesteaks and the restaurant has changed. So I switched gears and decided to get some fish instead. It was only 9:30 PM, and At Hookers Seafood & Fish -- an amazing place based off the consistency but it had already closed at 8 PM. Back on the hunt for food, I stumbled across Got Jerk Island Grill and Juice Bar in Midtown Harrisburg. The moment I walked in, it felt like I was teleported straight into the heart of Jamaica. Caribbean vibes everywhere -- lounge chair up front, Bob Marley on the walls, and a laid‑back atmosphere that made me feel like I should've had a coconut water in my hand. I talked to the chef and told him to give me his best dish. He served me curry chicken, rice and beans, sweet plantains, and cabbage. I have to say -- it was the best curry chicken I've ever had. The chicken was tender, cut perfectly, and shredded apart in my mouth. It fell right off the bone, and the curry had just the right amount of spice so you could still enjoy the full flavor of the meal. That's when I knew the chef knew exactly what he was doing and chose the right cut of meat.

I can't help myself and order coffee everytime as well and both times it was also hot and fresh and they have great specials! For restaurant week they had a special of pork bao buns and OMG so good, the bread was soft and pillowy and the pork had great flavor along with the sauce! This is quickly becoming my favorite spot in York- always so so good!

It had been a minute since I had been home and quite a few businesses have changed. This place has…read morebeen so many different restaurants over my life, but on a recent visit I was glad to see one with many positive reviews had gone in. On a long walk of town on one day of my trip, it worked out that this one was open for lunch and I got to try it. It ended up being a favorite of my visit and I ended up eating here twice. The first time for lunch I stuck to the specials menu and had the chimichanga. It's served with rice and beans, plus fresh veggies and salsas. All salsas and sauces are made homemade and fresh, which is a huge draw of this place. Portion sizes are generous for the price, and flavor was great. Their hot sauces are also homemade: a mild red one and a hot creamy green one. Try both for sure! On the second visit, I had a burrito. I also dined with a friend who was impressed as well. They also have a menu of non-Mexican inspired dishes, so there's something for everyone here. The interior is open and bright, with booths and tables. Both times the server was super friendly and welcoming, very attentive through the visits. Parking is out back.

The environment seemed nice although I didn't eat in. And there was parking in the rear. I am glad Miaa was there for my visit to Palmyra.

We opted for a Fried Whiting dinner and a Fried Perch dinner (son has been in his fish era). Went with Baked Mac and Cheese (x2), Beans and Rice, and Cole Slaw. The wait was reasonable and the place affords a comfortable space to sit and converse or browse Yelp. There was a steady flow of walk in traffic, placing orders and picking up. Several Dashers hurried in and were handled politely and in a timely manner. The minimal staff worked well moving orders from idea to delivery. Our meals were delivered hot from the kitchen and every bit as expected. Portion sizes were large. Food was fresh and flavorful. Hot food was hot, and cold food was served cold. This is one of my pet peeves so I took notice. We didn't enjoy any drinks with our meal but they do offer fountain drinks, Philly Ice? and maybe some lemonades. To wrap it up....Don't sleep on Pecan Tree Cafe. They have obviously been doing it for a while and have a good handle on delivering a quality food product. Service was a plus, front and back of the house staff were friendly and attentive. Be looking for them at this year's York State Fair where they will be taking their food to the fair, and soon coming to those of us on the east side of York. They will be a welcome addition to both!! Can't wait to go back and try some of the BBQ Beef Shirt Ribs!

Service: The young lady at the front was nice to us but we did have to wait around while she argued…read morewith a customer who was told the mango water ice was "normal" for her to take a bite and realize it was spicy. The customer requested for it to be exchanged for even just one scoop (she ordered a few scoops) so she could enjoy it w her child which was denied and she was made to seem like she was in the wrong. I think this was a great opportunity to just admit the mistake and exchange the customers ice cream for one she could actually enjoy and learn for future reference to clarify it's "spicy mango" ice. Additionally, the owner was called on speaker and he immediately spoke extremely rudely about the customer which made them more irate. This went on for about 10mins about 2 feet away from me while I was waiting to be attended. Early on, I offered to just pay for a new one and to please just give the lady a new water ice, the customer accepted but I was ignored by the employee and the argument continued. Very uncomfortable situation. Food: Got the shrimp cheesesteak, potato salad, and collard greens. I went in with high expectations, the food was good but not great. We heard of this place via social media so we were super excited to try something new. Between the service provided and the food not being mind blowing, I don't think I will be returning.
