The pastelillos: beef, chicken, pork were excellent. Packed with meat and seasoned up so you could enjoy them plain or dress them up in a sweet and spicy island sauce. The rice and Mac salad were plentiful alongside our smoked pork ribs. We devoured the dinner and got a second round of pastelillos. I failed in the ok tire taking category because I was too hungry, my apologies... I will do better. For the time being, she indicated they will be doing 1 entree a day Wednesday through Sunday. Call ahead to see what she has! It's going to be good, but I'd hate for you to arrive looking for a robust menu, only to find the simplicity of a single offering :) The island coffee rounded out our lunch and prepared us to conquer the world. Cafe au leche. What a treat!!! I'm only the 2nd Yelp review? That boggles my mind, as I now consider this a must stop.

We grabbed a healthy plate of meats, rice and beans before finishing our cart with Cassata, tembleque, flan and turnovers. The food was delicious, the help was more than amazing, and the only downside was I couldn't order more. Most bakeries in the area are top notch, you just have to be willing to try new.

We're in Ecorse, Michigan. Not exactly the first place you…read moreexpect to find a little slice of Puerto Rico. Steel town grit. Cold air off the river. And tucked between the ordinary... a spot called El Amanecer. No frills. No neon gimmicks. Just steam rising from trays and the smell of something real. You walk up and it feels like somebody's abuela is in the back, running the whole operation with quiet authority. First up -- empanadas. The shrimp? Riquísimo. Straight up. One bite and it's that Ratatouille moment -- the world fades out, and suddenly you're somewhere warmer. Brighter. It's the best part of Puerto Rico tucked between two pieces of golden dough. Crispy outside, tender inside, seasoned like somebody actually cared. That's a 10 out of 10. No debate. The beef empanada? Juicy. Properly juicy. Little chunks of potato hiding in there like buried treasure. The kind of detail that tells you this isn't mass-produced -- this is made by hand. Balanced, comforting, confident. 9 out of 10. The chicken? Man... they made that with love. Moist, flavorful, no shortcuts. It doesn't try too hard -- it just delivers. A strong 8.8. Respectable. Solid. Then the chuleta frita. Fried pork chop, cooked all the way through -- no nonsense. Seasoned right. Crispy edges, tender inside. It's not flashy, it's dependable. 8.3 out of 10. It shows up and does its job. But the arroz con gandules? Outstanding. Perfect moisture -- not dry, not mushy. The rice carries the flavor like it's supposed to. Deep, savory, vibrant. This is the kind of rice that makes you pause mid-conversation. 9.5 out of 10. Easy. Places like this -- they don't scream for attention. They don't need to. They just sit there in neighborhoods like Ecorse, quietly feeding people food that tastes like home. And sometimes, that's the whole point.

For food, we shared two appetizers and honestly could have made a meal out of them. The Dominican Flag was incredible: crispy fried plantains, perfectly melty fried cheese, Dominican salami and smoky longaniza, all topped with pickled red onions that added the perfect zing. Every bite was packed with flavor and felt like true comfort food. We also loved the Loaded Yuca Balls; crispy golden yuca stuffed with cheese and topped with roasted pineapple, jalapeños, sour cream, and bacon. The combination of sweet, spicy, cheesy, and savory was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

FOOD: We both ordered pork empanadillas. They were good but the meat felt too soupy. I also ordered guava empanadilla. I liked the guava filling but felt that the dough felt too fried/oily. Portions were generous in terms of empanada size. I want to sing praises to Tropical Coco (Coconut Soda). It was the perfect hint of coconut and subtle sweetness. My friend and I decided to find and order this soda somewhere. SERVICE: More pleasant than it should be at a food trucks. Great hospitality. We were even called by our first names. Service was also quite quick. VALUE: The menu goes up to $16. Most items are priced at $12. $6 per piece is a bit pricey for empanadas compared to local restaurants but this was also event pricing. I'd visit Island City again. Next time I'd like to taste Island Sandwich. Another coconut soda for me of course as well!!!

A great spot that serves delicious and reasonably priced food!…read more I got the large curry chicken meal ($13) and a beef patty ($3). The curry chicken meal came with a few pieces of chicken, cabbage, plantains, and rice & peas. Everything on the plate was delicious. The chicken was juicy and tender, and it was flavorful but not too spicy. I really enjoyed the plantains, which had the perfect amount of sweetness. And I'm not typically the biggest fan of cabbage, but I like the way Gar and Mar cooks and seasons theirs. But oh my God, THE BEEF PATTY. Next time I come here, I might just make my meal a bunch of beef patties. The curry chicken was good, but the beef patty was absolutely fantastic. The crust was so buttery and flaky, and the filling so flavorful and well-spiced. The patty was so good that I ordered another one for "dessert," though the patty is very much savory. It was a good amount of food for under $20. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice and casual.
