They have all the familiar Puerto Rican entrées packed with flavor and honestly the food just warms your soul. From the moment you walk in, it feels cultural and very much like a family owned spot. You really get a little taste of Puerto Rico when you come here. When you walk in, you can see the menu displayed up top and then place your order on a tablet. After that, you wait for your number while they cook everything fresh in the back. The whole process is simple and the experience is great. This was my second time coming here and I loved it just as much as the first. I really hope this place continues to get recognized. Everyone should come try this spot.

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!

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.
