Overall, I'd give the food a 3.5 out of 5; the flavors felt kind of weak. I got Arroz blanco con habichuelas guisada (white rice and stewed Puerto Rican beans) con carne frita (fried pork fritter) and the portion was a good ammount 5/5 there too. 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

Hubby liked the piggy but looooved the morcilla so much we even got some to go. I loved the first empanada but was disappointed to find the second one was imitation crab. Service was nice. 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.

Absolutely Delicious! This was our first visit to Gran Sabor…read moreLatino and I can't wait to go back again. The restaurant is clean, inviting, and the staff is amazing in helping to choose items. One of the positives is they have their own parking lot, which makes it easier to visit in downtown Lancaster. The restaurant is set up in a cafeteria style where you can go through the line and see all the amazing food they have behind the glass to choose from. The employees will fill your plate/to-go container with the items you choose. They also do not skimp when filling your plate! I bet ours weighted a couple pounds! The large plate is only $17! On this first visit we stayed to the basics we know and love- yellow rice w/beans, roasted pork (pernil), sweet plantains, and a beef and cheese empanada. Everything was bursting with flavor and seasoned perfectly. The food we tried was the best we've had in PA! GSL is easy to get to off rt 30 and you can pre-order online for take-out. I highly recommend!

Yellow rice and beans are just as good as the white rice and beans poured over top. Their empanadillas are just cooked to perfection. The staff is so welcoming and very helpful in helping you decide what to eat at each meal! The layout is perfect, go down the line and see what you want to make your meal how you want it. If your looking for the best Puerto Rican Cuisine in Lancaster, this may be the place!

For it being kind of hidden beside the laundry mat, I was unsure at first but their place is very clean and organized inside as well. We ordered food online via DoorDash, and when we picked up in store it seemed as though DoorDash made a mistake with the order..without question the staff remade our FULL ORDER and even gave us a bowl with rice, beans, pork aka all the goods while we waited for our food! It's something that stuck with us and we will for sure be back again to support!

Counter style eatery. The woman who served me was so sweet and walked me through all the options they had for the day. There were about 3 customers ahead of me getting their "usual" which was a good sign. The portions are pretty generous! I got the arroz con gandules, pernil, and biste for $16. PERFECTION! The tournament is again next year so I know where I will be coming to eat.

The food was flavorful. I got the goat, and morcilla (blood sausage) and my partner got the beef, platanos, and yuca. His beef was fall-off-the-bone tender, platinum, and yuca was great. My goat was a bit chewy, and morcilla a bit dry, but still very tasty. I'd definitely come back to try their other à la carte dishes. There are so many choices even if I went back every day for lunch for a week, I still would not be able to sample all that they offer. I couldn't take a pic of my partner's plate as it was so good he inhaled all of it, I barely got any, and that's how you know his plate was amazing!! Service was awesome as well, the lady was so nice and helpful.

Very simple to get to and quite a decent amount of parking. I went on a Saturday Afternoon and it wasn't too busy at all, but it should be with how amazing the food is! Vibes were pretty dope. Lots of outdoor seating and some music playing. Ordered the Pernil Arepa, Chicken Rice Bowl, and Pulled Pork Rice Bowl. If you're afraid of flavor, this is not for you, because the flavors were amazing! And you can customize your bowls with add one to your liking such as roasted corn, avocado, cheese, plantains and more! Loved it and will definitely make it part of my itinerary whenever I'm in the area.

The food is a delicious mix of Peruvian and Venezuelan flavors, and you can really taste the freshness and quality in every bite. Their arepas are crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with flavorful fillings. Everything felt comforting yet unique at the same time. One thing I really appreciated is that the entire menu is 100% gluten free, but honestly, you wouldn' even notice because the food is just that good. Also, don't be deceived if the food doesn't look super "picture perfect" online or in photos (or at least my photos lol). It may not be the most photogenic food, but it's sooo worth it! I actually ordered almost everything on the menu because I had no idea when I'd be back in Lancaster again . My favorite was the fried rice with chicken and plantains, so flavorful and satisfying! My husband's favorite was the Lomo Saltado Bowl and Pernil Arepa. We also loved the yuca fries, which were perfectly crispy without being overly greasy. The only thing that disappointed me a little was the Esquites. It just didn't stand out and probably wouldn't order it again. Parking is limited and there's outdoor seating only.
