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.

Well, I'm back a second time around the sun, only to try the Cuban sandwich this time. I grabbed it…read moreto go because I was in a rush to head back home to try to make some beautiful music for everybody to dance to. 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

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.
