For those who would like to be wowed wit a great culinary experience..Go for the traditional Puerto Rican cuisine! I had Pernil (seasoned pork), rice and beans, and beef and cheese empanada. The rice and beans were both seasoned perfectly, each complimenting the other. The meat was seasoned well and moist. Great portion Size and Wonderful service!

Stumbled across this little gem on UberEats and came to Yelp to see the reviews so I decided to give them a try and I'm not disappointed! The jerk chicken is so flavorful and falls off the bone....They are not stingy on the jerk sauce either! Cabbage was seasoned well and the plantains were the bomb! Food was nice and hot when I got it. I didn't eat the rice & peas as I'm restricting my carbs but I'm sure they were good too! Definitely going to order here again before I go back home!

We paid cash and somehow paid the 12% extra anyway. My son in law's credit card was also charged. The prices since Sunday have gone up again, so it is way too expensive! Won't be going back and will tell our friends to avoid the restaurant also

The service here is very friendly and helpful (they translate!). The food is excellent--well-made,…read moretasty, and presented creatively. Overall, this restaurant is a vast improvement over what was here previously, The place is decorated with lots of color, a few more or less cheesy Mexican articles, but the effort to evoke Mexican-ness in a dull place like Vestal is much appreciated... We will certainly go back.

She put together a group of her talented friends, and presented an entertaining evening of international and classic American songs of the Season. All of that plus the always delicious and well prepared authentic Mexican fare, was a crowd pleaser. The Chimichangas and Margaritas were perfect, and the service wjas excekllent as always. The prices are still wjell within the anverage families comfort zone. I hope readers will stop at El Pulpo and enjoy the food and milieu as much as Meg and I do.

After a few minutes waitress came took our drink order ,bottle of soda and a margarita. She then took our order, I had the combo 2 beef burritos, rice and beans, my wife had chicken enchiladas rice an beans.. Hers had a great amount of chicken BUT ,very dry no seasoning, my burritos good amount of filling , the sauce reminded me of a spaghetti sauce, very tomato forward and no real Mexican flavor. We finished our drinks halfway thru ,she never came back to ask how things were or if we wanted another drink , came back to ask if we were finished and would like dessert ( we got it to go).. Definitely not impressed, definitely wont go back...

We ordered guacamole with our complimentary chips and salsa. It was like soup, clearly out of a jug from Ciesco or such. I got a burrito which supposedly had chicken , beef and chorizos in it. All I tasted was beens and rice with a few pieces of meat. My wife got Chicken fajitas. They were dry as heck. The chicken was precooked. Also the little condiments bar looked terrible as well.

I went in to grab a DoorDash order and immediately got locked into an intense staring contest. No "hi," no "hello," not even a courtesy blink--just a full-on scowl like I personally ruined his day by ordering food at his spot. After a solid few seconds of awkward silence, I finally said I was there to pick up my food. That's when things escalated. He launched into a rant about how he's "tired of this sht," and I'm just standing there thinking... sir, I only came for my food, not your emotional baggage. I asked if everything was okay, which apparently was the wrong move, because he doubled down with "I don't need this sht & F*** DoorDash." At this point, I'm just a confused bystander in what feels like a one-man protest against his life. He then dramatically tossed my food onto the counter like it had personally offended him. I grabbed it (because, you know, I already paid) and made a swift exit. It was a weird exchange. Then I read other reviews of Google and realized I'm not a sole witness to Un-Happy Pappi's cray-cray. Food? was Meh. Service? Olympic-level bad. Will I go back? Only if I'm craving awkward eye contact and chaos. Also... how does this place have 5 stars?? I need answers.
