When you see Hispanic patrons frequenting the restaurant you know you are eating authentic cuisine from people who know amazing Puerto Rican cuisine! The owners are just beautiful people inside and out!!! I'm so glad they are in Salem! I've had almost everything on the menu! I absolutely love the food!!! There are people who drive distances to get their favorite dishes! I'm a fan of the garlic chicken, the rice and beans, the chicken soup, the plantains, the pastelles, the mofongo is amazing!!!! And don't get me started on the desserts!!! My fav restaurant within a 50 mile radius!

I trusted Nelson Nieves & Kristina Nieves owners of El Paladar Boricua Restaurant in Salem, NJ and…read morePedricktown, NJ. They also do contruction. I gave them $10,000 in cash because they promised they would do a job for me. They did not. Instead, after taking my money, they sold their big house, disconnected their phone, and left for the state of Florida in an RV. I was left trying to figure out what happened to the money I worked hard for. What makes this hurt even more is the trust I placed in them. They presented themselves as Christians and people of integrity. I took them at their word. Unfortunately, their actions have left me questioning whether those words meant anything at all. I am a veteran, and I know what trust, honor, and keeping your word are supposed to mean. This post is a warning: Please be extremely careful before doing business with these people. I trusted them. It cost me $10,000. I'm not posting this because I want sympathy. I'm posting it because I don't want someone else to make the same mistake I did. DO NOT LOAN THEM MONEY.

It was not crowded at lunch, but we got there when it first opened. We looked at the food up front, and inquired about the things that looked good. We ordered the pernil, sweet plantains, goat, skirt steak, winter squash stuffed with chicken, shrimp ceviche, mashed potatoes, yellow rice & beans, and tres leches. That was a lot of food- and we had it for lunch and dinner. We have leftovers for tomorrow. Everything was delicious. I usually don't like mashed potatoes at restaurants, but I liked these. My husband and I reviewed which food was our favorite. He liked the skirt steak with the yellow rice and beans. I think I like the goat with the rice and beans. I usually don't Iike rice, but I am a fan of rice and beans. I didn't get chicken thighs and legs that looked good, because we ordered so much food. The person behind the counter was very friendly and hopeful. The restaurant was still clean.

Carmen's Kitchen has HANDS DOWN some of the best Spanish food in Wilmington! I've tried several…read moreSpanish restaurants around the city, including Dominican spots, and I have to say Carmen's Kitchen is at the top of my list! Their Puerto Rican food is absolutely delicious, flavorful, and made with love. You can really taste the difference! If you're looking for authentic, delicious Spanish/Puerto Rican food in Wilmington, I definitely recommend giving Carmen's Kitchen a try. You will NOT be disappointed! My only wish is that they were open more often because I would definitely be there more! But I completely understand that everyone needs time off and deserves a break. Keep doing what you're doing, Carmen's Kitchen -- Wilmington needed you!

Overall, I'd give the food a 3.5 out of 5; the flavors felt kind of weak.

I also got two empanadas: one pizza, one beef, and cheese--those were a major hit, 5/5! I will be going back in the future to try all the other options they have because there's a lot to try

Owner Melissa is super sweet. Oh, and they have homemade picante (hot sauce) can't wait to try it. Will definitely go back later. They have a nice menu and outdoor seating.

My stomach and my heart are so happy, El Rincon Criollo has been on my radar for a while, and now that I've finally had their amazing food, I am already planning my next visit ( and next time, I'll drive instead of bike!!) Situated in Spring City, conveniently off the Schuylkill River Trail, The Latin Corner is accessible by foot, by bike, and by car. You have no excuse not to visit! This place is like a warm blanket. Comforting, homey, and incredibly delicious, I don't think you can go wrong with your order here. Everything is handmade with love by the owners, who are so kind and welcoming that I was tempted to spend the entire day here. If you're ever in the area and need a hearty meal- don't sleep on The Latin Corner!

The potato salad was smooth with some chunks of potatoes and a light crunch from the veggies. My favorite was the beans that pair perfectly with the rice and meat! All this for only $12!!! Wow! I highly recommend it. I also tried their beef empanadas. They were excellent. They're fried to order and homemade. There's a lot of filling and the beef inside is perfectly seasoned. The last time I had empanadas this good was at my Puerto Rican friend's house where his grandma made them! A close second was in Rincon, Puerto Rico. These are that good. They're a must try. This a lovely local neighborhood corner takeout restaurant. You can call ahead to order your food to avoid the the wait. The owner and staff are all very friendly and happy to answer any questions and provide recommendations. They have a tv in the waiting area and some drinks for sale. Inside is very clean and everything looks new and well organized. The food all homemade and delicious. Portions are very generous and a great value for what the charge. I'm looking forward to trying more of their food. I highly recommend it! It's definitely worth a trip to check it out. Support your local restaurants.
