We were driving up to meet friends and I heard about Erie's new food hall. Once we saw there was…read moreDominican Food, we had to go check it out. So glad that we did. The food was amazing. It was hard to pick one thing to try. We tried the bowls. They were so good and you got a big portion. The meat was so tender and flavorful. The sweet plantains were delicious. We love them and people don't always do them right. Would love to come back on the weekend and try the empanadas. Unfortunately, they're only available then. It's a family affair and they take such pride in their food. Go check them out.

The oxtail was tender, the curry mango had a good spicy-sweet heat, and the beef patty was properly buttery and flaky. Bonus points for adding a different type of cuisine to the area. Thanks for welcoming us, Beach Patties!

Extremely clean. They take much pride in cleanliness, that scored major points with me. El Turpial appears to be a mom-and-pop family-run restaurant, that has plenty of room for indoor dining, as well as a variety of to-go options. Wanting to come to support local businesses, I figured I'd give this a try. Plus the pictures of the food had my mouth watering The staff was friendly and helpful, and explained the menu to me. I had the chicken empanadas which were delicious. They had a tasty, slightly sweet taste on the outside, and on the inside the chicken was juicy, packed with flavor, and the melted cheese had an amazing savory, tangy flavor that practically melts in your mouth. I then indulged into the pastrami sandwich, which just smacked of deliciousness. Reminded me of something I could get in New York City. The bread had a great chew, firmness, and fresh baked taste. The pastrami was premium quality, and everything they put on it was perfect. And it was huge! I didn't want to eat too much, but I couldn't stop because it was so delicious! I love this place, and plan on returning next time I'm in Ashtabula to try some more Puerto Rican dishes! Wonderful!
